Xantrex 36V 50Ah Lithium-Ion Battery Product Description
Unlock Superior Power for Your Marine and Mobile Adventures
Imagine heading out on the water or hitting the road with a battery that delivers relentless power without the weight and bulk of traditional options. This 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery steps in seamlessly where lead-acid Group 31 batteries fall short, especially for demanding setups like trolling motors on fishing boats. Its compact design packs exceptional energy density into a familiar footprint, freeing up space while boosting runtime on every trip.
Crafted with UL1642-certified cells and layered redundant safety systems, it stands as one of the most reliable choices for rugged environments. Whether you're battling waves or navigating off-grid routes, this battery endures up to 4,000 cycles—eight to ten times the lifespan of standard AGM or flooded lead-acid counterparts—ensuring years of dependable service.
Innovative Sleep Mode for Extended Storage
One standout feature sets this battery apart during downtime. In active use, it self-discharges at a modest 12.5% state of charge (SOC) per month. But after just 10 days of inactivity, it intelligently shifts into sleep mode, slashing that rate to only 3% SOC per month. A simple charge or discharge wakes it right up, resetting the timer. This smart conservation means less worry about deep discharges during off-seasons, preserving capacity for when you need it most.
Bluetooth Monitoring at Your Fingertips
Stay connected without guesswork. Pair it with the dedicated app on your smartphone to monitor SOC, spot faults in real-time, and even control remote on/off functions. This level of visibility empowers quick troubleshooting, whether you're dockside or deep in the backcountry, keeping your systems running smoothly.
Thrives in Extreme Conditions
Engineered for the real world, it handles charging up to 55°C (131°F) without compromise, ideal for sun-baked decks or engine bays. Low-temperature resilience and an included self-protecting BMS guard against overcharge, over-discharge, and shorts. For colder climates or external mounts, consider the optional heating blanket to maintain peak performance year-round.
LiFePO4 Advantages Over Traditional Lead-Acid Batteries
Why make the switch? LiFePO4 chemistry delivers consistent voltage throughout discharge, unlike lead-acid's steep drop-off. You'll get more usable energy per cycle, lighter weight for better fuel efficiency, and zero maintenance—no watering or venting required. In head-to-head tests, users report double the runtime for trolling motors, translating to longer fishing days without recharging hassles.
- Up to 4,000 cycles to 80% health vs. 400-500 for lead-acid
- Half the weight for easier handling and installation
- Stable output power—no voltage sag under load
- Safer chemistry with minimal thermal runaway risk
Versatile Applications Across Industries
From weekend warriors to pros, this battery powers diverse setups:
- Marine: Trolling motors, fish finders, and onboard electronics for extended outings.
- RVs: House loads, inverters, and accessories without draining starters.
- Trucks: Heavy-duty and work rigs for tools, lifts, and telematics.
- Specialty Vehicles: Custom builds, emergency services, or off-road beasts.
Its table-mount design and M8 IP rating ensure secure, weather-resistant fitment in tight spaces.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance
To maximize those 4,000 cycles, pair with a compatible LiFePO4 charger, avoid full discharges below 20% SOC when possible, and store at 50-80% charge in moderate temps. Its drop-in compatibility simplifies upgrades—often just swap and update your charger's settings for voltage limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this battery replace my existing Group 31 lead-acid for a trolling motor?
Yes, it fits standard Group 31 compartments perfectly, offering drop-in simplicity with far superior cycle life and weight savings for longer runs on the water.
How does the Bluetooth app help with daily use?
The app provides live SOC readings, fault alerts, cycle counts, and remote controls, letting you monitor from anywhere without cables or tools.
What happens if I leave it unused for months?
Sleep mode activates after 10 days, minimizing self-discharge to 3% per month, so it's ready to go with minimal top-off charging.
Is it safe for high-heat marine environments?
Absolutely—charge safely up to 55°C, with BMS protections and stable chemistry preventing issues common in other lithium types.
How many cycles can I expect in real-world RV use?
Up to 4,000 full cycles to 80% capacity, depending on depth of discharge and temps—often lasting 5-10 years with moderate use.
Does it include overcurrent protection?
Yes, the built-in BMS handles max 80A continuous and pulse currents, cutting off at low voltage to safeguard cells.
What's the weight advantage over lead-acid?
At just 34.1 lbs, it's typically half the weight of equivalent lead-acid batteries, easing installation and improving vehicle efficiency.
36V 50Ah Lithium-Ion Battery
High cycle Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) battery designed to fit into existing lead acid Group 31 battery scenarios such as powering trolling motors for fishing boats.
More Power in Less Space
The Xantrex Lithium-Ion Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery used UL1642-certified cells. Equipped with redundant safety features, it is the safest in the market today. Specifically designed to withstand the harsh operating environments of mobile and marine applications, the battery lasts up to 4,000 cycles compared to a traditional lead acid or AGM battery, which typically lasts 400-500 cycles. It offers exceptional power density and is also available with a heating blanket option if the installation is outside the main cabin.
Sleep Mode: Xantrex Lithium-Ion Iron Phosphate batteries self-discharge at 12.5% State of Charge (SOC) per month during regular use. After 10 consecutive days of inactivity, the battery switches to a low-power mode, reducing the self-discharge rate to 3% SOC per month. Any charge or discharge activity will reactivate the battery, resetting the 10-day counter. This extends the battery life during periods of non-use.
