It can be used for both cranking and trolling. This is the battery that can be used even in very cold weather, as it is heated. This battery also provides 1200 CCA for today&#8217;s outboard. <em>(Important note, make sure your outboard charges Lithium LiFePO4 batteries. Most late model outboards do, however, many older outboards do not. So it&#8217;s very important to know whether your outboard will charge these. Best to check with your local boat dealer to make sure your outboard will charge Lithium LiFePO4 batteries.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create a bundle combo of Dual Purpose 100Ah Batteries, also. Many dual-purpose Lithium LiFePO4 batteries can cost over $1,200 for just one battery, so you can imagine what a bundle price would be. This bundle is a great option for cold-weather anglers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wattcycle.com\/pages\/black-friday-cyber-monday-sale?utm_source=ABA&amp;utm_medium=CPM&amp;utm_campaign=BlackFriday2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/americanbassanglers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bundle2-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Dual Purpose Combo, select the following<br><br>For anglers building a full tournament combo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Four &#8211; 12V 100Ah dual-purpose (Black Friday priced at 429.99 each)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One &#8211; LiFePO4 4 bank charger\u00a0 (Black Friday priced at 229.99 each)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best pricing of 2025, and everyone should take a close look at these while this 10-day sale is going on.

Less weight improves boat speed, fuel efficiency, and overall performance on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Faster Charging<\/strong><br>LiFePO4 technology charges two to four times faster than traditional batteries, allowing quicker turnaround between fishing days or tournament rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart Battery Management<\/strong><br>Many LiFePO4 models include a built-in Battery Management System (BMS), and some offer Bluetooth monitoring, allowing anglers to check battery health and charge status from their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safe and Stable Chemistry<\/strong><br>LiFePO4 is one of the safest lithium chemistries. It resists overheating, provides stable performance, and includes multiple layers of protection for marine use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintenance-Free Operation<\/strong><br>No water refilling, corrosion cleaning, or performance drop-off issues. LiFePO4 batteries require virtually no maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improved Electronics Performance<\/strong><br>Fish finders, forward-facing sonar, and multiple screens operate more reliably and with less interference thanks to clean, stable power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WattCycle Black Friday to Power Your Boat If you\u2019ve been waiting to move your rig to lithium, WattCycle\u2019s Black Friday\/Cyber Monday sale is the time to do it.
