🔎 Explore current exhibitorsWhy LiFePO4 instead of lead-acid for fishing?
A LiFePO4 battery weighs far less than a lead-acid battery of the same capacity, holds its voltage almost to the very end and copes with a large number of charge cycles. iBANK quotes these figures for its cells:
| Depth of discharge (DoD) | Charge cycles according to iBANK |
|---|---|
| 100 % | 1,500 |
| 80 % | 2,000 |
| 50 % | 3,000 |
According to iBANK, only tested grade A cells go into its batteries. The app shows charge level, voltage and temperature on your phone – handy when the box is sitting in the bivvy or in the boat.
Portable Power Box: power for bivvy, fish finder and phone
The Portable Power Box is a LiFePO4 battery in a rugged case with the sockets on the outside. It runs your bivvy light, fish finder, cool box or bite alarm receiver and charges your phone, head torch and camera. It comes in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL – from 24 Ah to 200 Ah.
- Session at the lake: light, phone and head torch for the whole weekend
- Fish finder from the boat or the bank: constant voltage, no drop in performance
- Camping and outdoors: backup power without a generator
Boat battery for your electric motor
For boats and electric motors, iBANK offers the Portable Boat Box L with 12.8 V and 100 Ah as well as the Power Battery in sizes M to XXL. If you spend hours on the water with an electric outboard, the stable voltage pays off: the motor pulls evenly right to the end. For 24 V motors there are 25.6 V models.
Foldable solar panels and power station
For long sessions without a mains socket, iBANK has two foldable solar panels in the range: 135 W and 225 W, each with an MPPT charge controller. That lets you top the box up during the day. The Portable Power Station 96K rounds off the range for phone, tablet and camera, alongside chargers with 5, 20 and 30 A.
Tip: some sizes and the solar panels are sold out from time to time – check availability before you order.
Where can you buy iBANK batteries?
iBANK sells through its own iBANK online shop. According to iBANK, processing and shipping usually take 2 to 3 working days. Questions on capacity and run time are answered on the iBANK FAQ page.
