RELiON Battery, which makes lithium batteries, has launched the RB36V40. It’s a 36-volt, 40 amp-hour marine lithium battery that the company says weighs 70 percent less than the lead-acid equivalent.

According to the manufacturer, the RB36V40’s maximum capacity is 20 percent more than its series equivalent. The battery can be installed with a parallel setup for quicker, easier charging.

The battery is also built for the marine environment, with an IP67-rated case to repel dust and resist water ingress for up to 30 minutes submerged at about 3 feet. A glue channel and screw-latched enclosure are intended to protect against airborne contaminants, and there’s an internal battery-management system to protect against short circuits and overcharging.

Who owns RELiON Battery? It’s part of Navico Group, which is a division of Brunswick Corp.
