Norsk Lithium^® offers solutions for simple & ultra-complex electronics installations  

Today’s anglers have a wealth of fishing technology available at their fingertips, including forward-facing sonar, which has become a mainstream tool for putting more fish topside. Many avid anglers are outfitting their boats to professional specifications with this available technology, which raises questions of the best way to power all of it for the best, brightest, and cleanest images possible, as well as the longest runtime at optimal voltage.  

But Norsk Lithium^® also recognizes there are still anglers who haven’t made the leap and they have electronics power needs, too. Some anglers will tell you they don’t need all the bells and whistles to catch fish and essential technologies like sonar and mapping work just fine.   

So, whether you’re running numerous large screens on your boat with all the latest and greatest – or a scaled back install with a graph or two – Norsk Lithium has the perfect power solution for you.  

First, the benefits of rigging Norsk Lithium are many. They’re half the weight; provide twice the power; last four times longer; and charge five times faster than lead acid batteries. Norsk Lithium also offers a comprehensive 10-year, non-prorated warranty on all marine batteries. Register your battery through the Guardian™ app and receive an extra two years’ coverage.  

Norsk Lithium batteries’ extended feature set also includes many industry-only benefits our users have come to know and love – features insisted upon by our designers who are also serious anglers and know the real rigors of hardcore fishing.  

BLUETOOTH^®/GUARDIAN™ APP 

Integrated into every Norsk Lithium Marine Battery is the Norsk Guardian™ Advanced Battery Management System. This advanced BMS provides a Bluetooth^® connection to the Norsk Guardian App which is your direct connection to the life, health and the status of your batteries. 

DEEP SLEEP™ 

Disconnect power to your marine lithium battery terminals using this feature in the Norsk Guardian™ app to eliminate fully discharged batteries caused by phantom draw. You can also wake a battery from Deep Sleep™ mode effortlessly with a quick press of the One-Touch Power Management Button on top or the battery.  

• Allows the owner to shut down the battery for long or short-term battery storage 
• Eliminates phantom current draw and prevents deeply-discharged batteries 
• Preserves the power in the cells 
• Avoids cell damage caused by accidental over-discharge 

ONE-TOUCH POWER MANAGEMENT BUTTON 

The Power Management button found on all Norsk Lithium marine batteries allows the user to quickly check State of Charge and manage advanced features such as Deep Sleep™ or Activate Emergency Start Reserve (ESR) on our industry-leading line of starting batteries. 

HEATED OPTIONS 

Norsk Lithium’s Thermal Core Heating Technology™ changes the game for anglers facing cold weather and charging situations. Charging your LiFePO4 lithium batteries in freezing temperatures might seem like part of your normal trip prep, but it’s detrimental to the battery’s health. Those cold temps can interfere with the cells, causing harm and shortening your battery’s lifespan. That’s why you need a battery that can accept a charge in even the coldest temperatures. 

BCI-COMPLIANT CASES

Unlike so many other companies, Norsk Lithium doesn’t play games with the dimensions of its batteries. All Norsk Lithium batteries adhere to BCI specifications, eliminating the need for oversized, proprietary, expensive battery trays and difficult installations.

BATTERIES TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR ELECTRONICS 

If you’re part of the crowd fishing with forward-facing sonar with a black box module, Norsk Lithium has the perfect solution in the 36+28V 60Ah dual voltage model. Looking for a battery to power the multiple screens in your boat that display your forward-facing sonar and other technologies? Take a closer look at the line of 16V batteries in sizes ranging from 75Ah to 135Ah. Running a less complicated electronics system? Consider Norsk Lithium’s standard 12V deep cycle batteries with sizes ranging from 105Ah to 120Ah. No matter what your electronic set up is Norsk Lithium has a solution for you. Let’s take a closer look at each of these options.

36V+28V 60Ah Dual Voltage Battery 

While the 36V 60Ah Dual Voltage is designed to power 36V trolling motor systems, it also has another trick up its sleeve, high voltage for FFS. The secondary 28V terminals on this battery deliver clean, consistent power, perfect for forward-facing sonar modules commonly referred to as the black box. This innovative design helps your sonar modules run cooler and provides longer runtimes compare to a 12V power source, ensuring you’ll maximize the performance of your investment in forward-facing sonar. Best of all, the 36V+28V 60Ah battery eliminates the need for complex wiring, regulators, or cut-off switches. 

• 2 models available in both Heated and Non-Heated options 
• Designed to power 36V trolling motor setups on the Primary Terminals (36V)
