A Look Behind the Scenes: Developing the LoPRO Lithium Battery
For a long time, a low-profile battery design was something that we saw a real need for—especially in the kayak market. Traditionally, anglers and boaters have had to fit standard-shaped batteries into their kayaks or small watercraft. Until now, there hasn’t been a battery intentionally designed for these types of vessels. That’s why we created the LoPRO battery.
Designed for Ultimate Versatility
When our team set out to design a low-profile battery, we had a few key priorities in mind:
✅ Low Profile: It needed to fit in all different types of crafts, from kayaks to skiffs. LoPRO maximizes tight spaces.
✅ Portable Power: Portability was essential—lightweight and easy to carry alongside your gear.
✅ Rugged Construction: It had to be rugged—something you could take in and out of your truck and onto your boat with ease. LoPRO stands us to the harshest elements, time and time again.
✅ Optimized Connectivity: Quick connectivity—making it simple to connect and disconnect on the water. Plus, an onboard bluetooth battery management system keeps you dialed in all the time.
Built to Withstand the Elements
We’ve incorporated features that meet these exact needs. The LoPRO battery is designed to handle water, sand, and even submersion, while still performing like new every time.
🔹 IP67-rated waterproof case protects against the elements.
🔹 GORE-TEX valve allows air to pass through while keeping moisture out.
🔹 Compression-fit, IP67-rated waterproof connectors prevent corrosion and ensure a secure, tool-less connection.
No more dealing with rusted terminals or seized-up bolts!
Durable, Stackable, and Expandable
The LoPRO battery case is made from engineering-grade materials, featuring reinforced corner bumpers for extra durability.
💡 Expandable Power – Nest multiple batteries together to create a 12V 200Ah system or a 24V system with ease.
💡 Tie-down recesses for permanent installation options.
💡 Generous grab handle for easy transport on and off your boat.
Smarter Connectivity with the Newport BMS App
This battery is designed to go with you into uncharted waters, and you need to know how much runtime you have left. That’s why we’ve integrated optimized connectivity through the Newport BMS app.
📊 Real-time data on charge levels and power consumption.
📊 Always know how much power you have left.
📊 Maximize efficiency with direct insights from the BMS board inside the battery.
A Game-Changer for Small and Large Boats
The LoPRO battery is perfect for both small and large boats.
🛶 Small Crafts: Compact size fits into cargo areas or under seats.
🛥 Larger Boats: Stackable design allows for parallel or series configurations for increased capacity.
Setting a New Standard in Marine Power
We’re incredibly excited to bring this innovative, low-profile battery to the market. On behalf of the entire Newport team, we’re proud to introduce a groundbreaking design that redefines marine battery power.
⚡ The LoPRO battery isn’t just another battery—it’s a new standard for performance, durability, and connectivity on the water.
POWER YOUR WATER. YOUR WAY. NEWPORT.
