Capacity as anticipated, I have somewhat tested the waterproofing :) and I've run these in parallel which gave plenty of grunt. In short, my next portable waterproof battery will be coming from Newport.

Excellent product
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent alternative to other batteries on the market, with its design it can be more easily stowed on a kayak or boat, and with its casing it feels a lot more durable than other batteries!

The Perfect Battery for the NK180 HD
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I've been using the Newport 24V 50Ah LoPRO LiFePO4 battery with my NK180 HD on my Old Town PDL 120, and it's been outstanding.
I fish mostly saltwater in bays and marshes, so having a battery I can count on is a big deal. It's compact, doesn't take up much room, and has more than enough power to keep me on the water for my trips. I never find myself worrying about running out of battery before I'm ready to head back.
I also like how lightweight it is compared to other batteries I've used. It makes loading and unloading the kayak a lot easier without sacrificing performance.
If you're looking for a dependable battery for the NK180 HD or any 24V setup, I definitely recommend the 24V 50Ah LoPRO. It's been reliable, efficient, and one of the best additions to my kayak.

LoPRO fully delivers!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The Newport Vessels LoPRO lithium battery is the real deal. Fast charging, ultra‑compact, and built like a tank. After a few trips putting it through the wringer, the waterproofing and toughness absolutely delivered. Total game changer for my setup. A must have for your NK180 or 300!!!
