The new line of Norsk Lithium® 16V MAX RT batteries deliver clean, dedicated 16V power, extending runtimes for optimal performance
As of summer 2024, you will find that most serious anglers are using large graph screens and forward-facing sonar. But eavesdrop at your local bait shop or marine dealer and you’ll find many are experiencing serious issues with power—everything from problematically short runtimes to overall performance of their sonar equipment that falls short of expectations considering the investment.
The solution? Norsk Lithium’s new line of 16V MAX RT batteries meet the demand of high-power draw digital units and offers all-day, optimal performance. With MAX RT, anglers get a 20% increase in runtime and lower amperage draws versus 12V batteries. Norsk Lithium 16V MAX RT batteries are a single-battery solution that provides all-day runtimes for large sonar screens and forward-facing sonar.

Part of a completely reimagined product lineup, these batteries will be on display at ICAST 2024 in Orlando, June 16 – 19, at Booth 637.
“When it comes to the large graph screens and forward-facing sonar found on most contemporary fishing boats, we made the decision to up the voltage and offer 16V for longer runtimes and optimal performance,” says Norsk VP of Strategy & Development, James Holst.
Holst says anglers will be impressed with the new family of 16V MAX RT batteries. “When you compare these batteries to the nearest competition the choice is painfully clear. For example, brand X offers a 16V battery but their continuous current is only 40 amps; ours is 135. This points to the Norsk battery benefitting from much more robust internal wiring versus the competition. And our flagship 16V, the 135Ah model, fits in a BCI-compliant Group 31 case where the competition is actually closer to the much larger 5D case size that can be very difficult to fit in tight spaces.”
Along with a higher voltage and industry-best amperage by battery size and category, the company also says it intentionally “overbuilt” the new batteries to offer customers longevity and peace-of-mind on a completely unprecedented level.
“You’re looking at a 10-, 12-, or 15-year lifespan with these batteries. But will you ever need 200 amps from our 16V battery? Maybe not based on the power needs of today’s electronics. But let’s be honest, we’re talking about a battery that’s guaranteed to provide clean, reliable power for the next decade plus. And screens aren’t going to get any smaller. And they’re certainly not going to require less power. To analogize, it’s like buying a pickup truck. You don’t buy a truck with just enough towing kit capacity for your current boat or trailer—when you know you’re going to upgrade to a larger boat in a year or two. You buy a truck that far exceeds the rating in the event you ever need it. We’ve taken the same approach. We’ve over-spec’d these batteries to the moon, added our industry-leading Thermal Core Heating system as an option for those that need it in colder climates, and put our money where our mouth is by backing them with our 10+2 year, non-prorated warranty. And in many cases, our 16V batteries are priced lower than comparable batteries with fewer features and a flimsy pro-rated warranty.”
