en.Wedoany.com Reported - Israel's Electric Fuel company stated that its recently IEC62133-certified lithium-ion 48V marine battery sets a new standard for safety and performance in the electric boat industry. Epsilor Electric Fuel President and General Manager Ronen Badichi said: "The certified safe lithium-ion 48V marine battery is the future. The 48V marine battery will soon dominate the entire industry."

The company stated that this 48V battery boasts a capacity of 3000Wh/60Ah, offering the highest energy density on the market, which is twice that of traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries. Weighing less than 17 kilograms, it is one of the lightest marine batteries available. These batteries are currently used in luxury yachts and racing boats, with over 500 units supplied to racing boats since 2018.

Merav Kolody-Shubeli, International Sales Director and Marine Battery Product Manager at Epsilor Electric Fuel, explained that the 48V battery was originally developed as an energy solution for transportation and mobile applications, and was later modified after naval engineers from the racing boat circuit showed interest in its light weight and high energy density. Marco Donati, founder of Donati Racing, became a user because the 48V battery saves weight and space, pointing out that this "is a critical factor for vessels, especially racing boats."

Racing boat competitions place extremely high demands on batteries. Kolody-Shubeli explained that during use, the batteries are continuously exposed to corrosive seawater, frequent movement transfers, and multiple recharges. When racing boats sail at high speed, teams must receive charged batteries from accompanying support boats, with both vessels conducting the transfer while navigating at high speed. She said: "Despite these harsh conditions, our battery design continues to operate and deliver the highest energy density on the market." Engineers are dispatched to competition sites to provide integration and technical support during training and races.

Badichi pointed out that the company's batteries possess the highest energy density in any market. Kolody-Shubeli revealed that a new generation of 48V marine batteries will be launched in 2027, adding IP67 waterproof certification, serving not only existing customers in the racing boat industry but also unmanned surface vessels and robotics. The company is seeking to expand cooperation with shipbuilders and marine designers. Badichi concluded: "The advanced technology integrated into vessels is forcing the industry to shift from lithium iron phosphate batteries to lithium-ion batteries, and is now driving the industry towards lithium-ion batteries with higher energy, higher voltage, and higher safety."
