Battery Great. Battery App working better after starting glitches
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The battery is working great. It runs longer than I expected with my NT300 so I will likely have more than enough capacity for all the things I would like to do with my RIB. Mostly, this is for shore access in a boat that I can lift on and off of the beach. The battery app, however, had problems and would show all 0s for everything after selecting the battery to connect to. It would take many tries or many killings and restart of the app to get it to work on a Samsung phone. A new download of the app is better and with limited tests, seems to connect within about 8 second. So, note that there can be a bit of a delay. I find it very useful to see the BMS state of charge to know how many Ahrs are left to use as a gas tank (coulomb tank). Also note that, a password is needed to see the detailed information. Jack the AI didn't know what it was, but I was able to talk with a human to get it. All the cells in the battery are balanced to less than 1 mv so that's a good start for the new battery and this will allow me to better see the problem if there should be any battery issues in the future.

Newport battery is an excellent upgrade for any kayak setup.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I recently used a Newport lithium battery to power my kayak’s trolling motor and the experience was excellent. The biggest advantage is its lightweight design. Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, the lithium battery was much easier to carry, install, and transport to and from the water.
The battery provided consistent power throughout the day without any noticeable drop in performance. Even after several hours of use, there was plenty of charge remaining. The fast charging time was another major benefit, allowing me to get back on the water quickly.

Battery Performs great!
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Battery Performs as intend 10/10. However Costumer Support is less than desirable. I almost made a costly mistake based on the advertised dimensions of the battery. Luckily my intuition led me to trust but verify. Things seem to align after install.

EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I have this battery paired with the NK 300 on the back of a tactical pro 128 by Wilderness systems. This battery is great and exceeds my expectations for the capacity of how long this battery actually last covering so much water on a big heavy Kayak, certainly the Best 36 V batteries out there!

Fits perfectly in the battery compartment of the 12.5 Titan X Propel. Bluetooth connectivity works well and provides real time data on the status of the battery.

36 volt/40 amp battery review
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Battery is paired with NK300 motor installed on Titan X 12.5 kayak. I am able to cover lots of ground only using about 50% battery life even though I am usually run at 90-95% of maximum power. I am very pleased with the battery performance

Newport Vessels stand behind their products!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Great! The replacement battery for my initial 36V 40AH LiFePO4 worked great on today's fishing trip. I covered about 6 miles, typically running the motor between 75 and 100% power. I had power to spare when I completed my trip. NV definitely stands behind their products!

Nice to see how fully they back their products
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I recently bought a NT300 and chose the 40AH battery to go with it. The initial battery I got was dead and after a simple, quick chat with the customer service team (Matt S, Gary and Kayleen) I went through the warranty claim process and not long after I was sent a new battery. After charging it up I tested it in the garage hooked up to the motor and all things are good. Just waiting to get out on the water now. Although it was disappointing to be delayed in using my motor, it is more than made up in knowing that NV stands behind its products and at every step of the way I was kept informed of what to expect and the associated timeframe.

36V 40AH Outstanding Battery
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Paired this with the NK300. I have used it for 3 days so far (1 practice day and 2 tournament days). The lowest the battery got was 84%. It took less than an hour to bring it back up to 100% with the included charger each of those days. Love that it comes with the charger. The app allows you to keep track of the charge while you fish. Great product and highly recommend!

It blows my mind how lightweight these batteries are! Very compact as well so you will be able to squeeze it in areas on the kayak that will be out of the way while you’re fishing.
