Special chargers for Exide’s Marine & Leisure Li-Ion battery range

Periodic recharging is essential

Exide’s Marine & Leisure Equipment Li-Ion batteries are equipped with advanced features that consume energy even when the battery is not in use:

the intelligent heating function, which allows charging even at low temperatures;
Bluetooth, which allows the control of the battery’s main parameters and performance levels via mobile App (available on Gplay and AppStore), even when the battery is located in hard-to-reach places;
the Battery Management System (BMS), which ensures protection against improper use, further extending the battery’s useful life. The energy consumed by these advanced features must be compensated with periodic recharges.

Exide’s Marine & Leisure Li-Ion battery chargers allow maximum SoC (state of charge) for the installation and storage of batteries and reset the SoC calculation in the BMS.

Different types of chargers are on the market, but not all of them are suitable for charging Exide’s Lithium-Ion products: However, if an inadequate charger is used, the low voltage protection in the BMS is not disabled, and the batteries cannot be charged. It is therefore essential to apply a charger with matching specifications, in order to ensure optimum functions.

Exide’s Marine & Leisure Equipment Li-Ion range with significant benefits

Exide’s Marine & Leisure Equipment Li-Ion range currently consists of six batteries with state-of-the-art performance and technology that cover most applications for boating and leisure.

Exide Marine & Leisure Equipment Li-Ion batteries offer a range of benefits:

Reduced operating costs: With a lifespan three times longer and twice the energy available compared to a standard battery, it optimizes the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
Faster recharge: Exceptional charge acceptance allowing super-fast charging from any state of charge
Lightweight: 70% lighter than conventional batteries
Heating function: Withstands all climatic conditions, hence the range of applications is extended significantly
Battery Management System (BMS): For safe operation, protection against improper use and optimal performance
Bluetooth Connectivity and mobile App: Built-in Bluetooth communication in the BMS, allowing for a continuous connection between the BMS and the mobile App (“Exide M&L Li-Ion Monitor”). Available for iOS and Android
Certified for Safe Use and Transport: The range meets the strictest Global transport rules.

In addition to the Equipment Li-Ion range, Exide’s Marine & Leisure battery series includes specific products for numerous applications, such as Equipment GEL, Equipment AGM, Equipment, Dual AGM, Dual EFB, Dual, Start AGM and Start. The range’s advanced Gel, AGM and EFB batteries are approved by DNV, the highest recognition available for a product in the marine market.
