A convenient Duffy Boat watering system is available and can be installed when we deliver your batteries. Flooded lead-acid batteries are used to power the Duffy Boat’s 48 volt electric motor . When these batteries are recharged, a chemical reaction called gassing takes place. As a result, batteries lose water. It is essential to replace this water to maintain the correct electrolyte level. Failure to do so causes irreparable damage to the battery. Ordinarily, it is necessary to open each cell and add water manually. This procedure is time-consuming and has some inherent risks, such as overfilling and acid splash. A single point watering system eliminates these problems and makes the entire procedure much safer and more efficient.
Free local delivery is available for two or more Duffy Boat Battery Orders.

Lithium Deep Cycle Batteries for Duffy Boats?
Customers are asking if a 36v or 48v lithium battery designed for golf carts will work in a Duffy or electric boat? Short answer is yes when the following items are addressed to make the conversion from lead acid to lithium
- Lithium batteries are lighter, so added weight will be added to balance the boat
- Replace or adjust charging system for lithium batteries
Lead acid batteries are a reliable energy storage product have not changed for more than fifty years and require monthly watering service.
Benefits to converting a Duffy boat from lead acid battery to lithium battery would be the longer battery cycle life, low maintenance and better power duration in comparison.
What is a battery cycle? A cycle is the process of fully charging and discharging a battery. Typically lead acid batteries cannot be cycled below 50% depth of discharge. If you go lower than 50% you will significantly shorten the lifespan of the battery. LFP batteries can be discharged nearly 80% to 90% depth of discharge and have thousands of cycles.
BMS stands for battery management system, this is the brain of adeep cycle lithium battery. The BMS protects the lithium cells from getting damaged in several scenarios. From low or high voltage, low or high temperatures, or if there is a short in the system. The BMS will shut off the battery to protect the li-ion cells and the user of the battery from unsafe operating conditions. The BMS also regulates the amount of power you can take out of the battery.
A LFP BMS also keeps all of the cells in balance. At the top of each charge cycle, the BMS reduces the charging rate in cells that have been topped off first, letting the rest of the cells catch up. This ensures that the cells are always in balance, and maintains the quality and efficiency of the pack.
