Light enough to carry with one hand, smart enough to check from your phone. The Epoch 12V 50Ah Essential Series is a compact LiFePO4 deep-cycle battery for kayaks, small boats, trolling motors, fish finders and portable power. At 14.3 lb it weighs a fraction of a comparable lead-acid battery, and built-in Bluetooth shows your state of charge right on your phone.

🛶 Is It Right for Your Setup?

Built for smaller 12V systems where weight and space matter. Popular uses include:

  • Kayaks & small boats
  • 12V trolling motors (up to 50A)
  • Fish finders & marine electronics
  • Small RV & van auxiliary power
  • Portable solar & power boxes
  • Ham radio & backup power
📏 Quick check before you order:
  • Your space fits 9" L × 6" W × 8.5" H (terminals included).
  • Your load stays within 50A continuous (about 640W), with up to 170A for 3-second startup surges.
  • For trolling motors, check the motor's maximum amp draw, not the average.
  • It's a deep-cycle battery, not for starting engines.
  • Mount it upright and add a properly sized fuse or breaker near the positive terminal.

Why Anglers & Campers Choose It

🪶

Carry It Anywhere

14.3 lb and 9" × 6" × 8.5". Easy to move between your kayak, boat, camper or power box.

📱

Bluetooth Monitoring

The free Epoch Pro app shows state of charge, voltage, current, temperature and BMS status, so you know how much fishing time you have left.

⚡

Steady Power

LiFePO4 holds its voltage as it drains, so fish finders and electronics run clean and your motor doesn't fade.

🧠

Smart BMS Protection

Guards against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and temperature extremes, and blocks charging below freezing.

🔁

Build Bigger Systems

Connect up to 4 in series for 24V, 36V or 48V, or up to 4 in parallel for 200Ah at 12V, using matched batteries.

🧰

Zero Maintenance

No watering, no acid, no terminal cleaning. Rated for 4,000+ cycles.

⏱️ How Long Will It Run?

Constant load Estimated runtime
50W About 10.2 hours
100W About 5.1 hours
128W (10A) About 4 hours
250W About 2 hours
500W About 1 hour

Epoch estimates for a new, fully charged battery at 25°C (77°F), based on about 512Wh usable. Real runtime varies with load, temperature and battery condition.

Maintenance None Watering & cleaning
Phone monitoring Yes, via Bluetooth No
Warranty 11-year limited Usually 1–2 years

🔌 Charging Made Simple

🔋

Recommended: 25A

Charge at up to 25A for a single battery (50A max from all sources). A 12V LiFePO4 charger like Epoch's 15A model works well.

🚫

No Lead-Acid Modes

Use a charger with a LiFePO4 profile. Turn off equalization, desulfation and "repair" modes, and set temperature compensation to 0.

❄️

Charge Above Freezing

No internal heater. The BMS blocks charging below 0°C (32°F). It can still power your gear down to -20°C (-4°F).

🚐

Charging From an Alternator?

Epoch recommends a DC-to-DC charger programmed for LiFePO4 between your alternator and the battery.

🛡️ 11-Year Limited Warranty

Years 1–3Free replacement of a defective battery
Years 4–1140% off MSRP on a replacement battery

❓ Common Questions

Is 50Ah enough for a kayak trolling motor?
Often, yes, as long as the motor's maximum draw (not its average) stays at 50A or less. Check your motor's specs, and call us if you're unsure.
Can I use it for a fish finder and electronics?
Yes. LiFePO4 holds a steady voltage, which sensitive electronics like.
Can I check the charge while I'm on the water?
Yes, with the free Epoch Pro Bluetooth app.
Is it waterproof?
No. It's IP54: dust protected and splash resistant. Don't submerge it or pressure-wash it.
Can it charge below freezing?
No. The BMS blocks charging below 0°C (32°F). Let it warm up first. It can still discharge down to -20°C (-4°F).
What charger do I need?
A 12V charger with a LiFePO4 profile (or a DC-to-DC charger for alternators), set to the values in the spec table. Lead-acid modes like equalization should be off.
Can I connect more than one?
Yes. Up to 4 in series (24V, 36V or 48V) or up to 4 in parallel, using matched batteries charged to the same level.
Can it start an engine?
No. It's a deep-cycle battery, not a cranking battery.
Can I mount it on its side?
Epoch says to install it upright unless the documentation for this model allows otherwise.
