Marine Lithium Batteries: Capacity and Price Comparison

Every LiFePO4 battery an Australian boat owner is likely to be quoted, ranked by the only number that compares them honestly: dollars per usable amp-hour. The label capacity is not what you own — you cycle a lithium bank to 80%, so a 100 Ah case gives you 80.

Pricing is indicative and not yet independently verified. These bands are compiled from published market pricing rather than quotes we obtained. Confirm with the retailer before you buy. No brand has paid to appear or be ranked here.


Compare exact battery models before buying

Our model-to-model comparisons use source-checked manufacturer specifications and identify the price basis, model generation and any conflicting information.

Cutaway of a marine LiFePO4 house battery, labelled: marine-grade sealed casing, positive and negative terminals, integrated fuse protection, bus bars, battery management system, LiFePO4 cell bank, thermal protection, communication port and mounting base
What you are choosing between. Every battery below is this: prismatic LiFePO4 cells on bus bars, a BMS monitoring and balancing them, fusing and thermal sensing around them, in a sealed case an insurer will ask about. What separates one from another is the quality of those parts, the documentation behind them, and who answers the phone. The figures on the drawing are an example of the class, not a particular product.

24 rows. Select a column heading to sort.

Both columns use the midpoint of the price band and 80% depth of discharge. Sort on the kilowatt-hour figure when you are comparing across system voltages, because a 24 V case at 100 Ah holds twice the energy of a 12 V one and the amp-hour column would tell you otherwise. Read either alongside warranty and cycle life before concluding the cheap end is good value.

Turn the estimate intoan installation plan.

Take the load estimate, charging sources and cable runs to a qualified marine electrician. Our installation guide helps you ask about isolation, over-current protection, ventilation and compliance before work begins.
