If your vessel’s AGM batteries are reaching end of their lifespan, it is time to consider a lithium-ion batteries to replace them.
Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) is the safest of the mainstream li-ion battery types.
LiFePO4 batteries are safe, but some are confused by the warnings about other lithium batteries such as LiPO and other chemistries that have warnings about over-heating and fires. These warnings doe NOT apply to LiFePO4 batteries used on boats.

Maz Ocean recommends Victron Battery Smart system:
Each individual cell of a LiFePO4 battery must be protected against over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature. The BMS ensures that ALL of your battery cells are protected.
Both internal and external BMS will protect your batteries, but there are concrete advantages to an external BMS system.
Internal BMS have the ability to disconnect the battery from the system to protect them, but do not have the ability to stop charge and discharge independently, control other equipment, or communicate with the entire system.
It’s what we do! Maz Ocean has installed numerous lithium battery systems on a variety of boats ranging from a couple thousand Watt-hours to well over 50,000 Watt-hours.
Just like each battery type has its strengths, so do installers. Some of our strengths include listening to each and every client’s particular use case, needs, and budget considerations. We don’t have a cookie-cutter approach. We design and tailor the system YOU need.
