All Day Electric Propulsion with the Vatrer 24v 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery | DrakeParagon Sailing
We just replaced our noisy 15 HP gas outboard with a Vatrer 24V 200Ah LiFePO₄ battery powering a 120lb thrust trolling motor on our 10 ft RIB. The result? Silent, zero fuel cost, and incredibly long range. All charged 100% by solar!
