This EP Carry 3 hour battery offers the most range for the lowest cost and weight offered by any small outboard manufacturer. A Bluetooth connection reports the battery state of charge so no separate monitor is required. Includes a buoyant soft case with carry straps and a three-foot snap-lock connector cord. If you need additional reach, three-foot extension cords are available separately in the EP Carry store. Use our Victron charger or contact us for solar charging options.

*An important note: Our batteries are made using LFP (LiFePO4, also called lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry by K2 Energy, a division of Grand Teton Energy in Idaho, USA. While not quite as energy-dense as other battery types, LFP is acknowledged as the longest lasting and safest battery chemistry for marine applications. Most of our competition sells proprietary batteries made with other types of Lithium chemistries to save weight and cost. In our view, this is a false economy. If you decide on a competing motor, be sure that the particular small motor you purchase uses LFP cells, or consider getting their battery cord and a standard LFP battery instead.
**When used on a small boat, an EP Carry draws up to 270W at full throttle, which is equivalent to other electric outboards drawing ~600W So other motors require a battery with twice the capacity for the same speed and range vs when using an EP Carry motor. That’s why, for a given speed and range, EP Carry batteries are much less expensive to purchase.
This EP Carry 3 hour battery uses the current two-pin snap-lock connector. Owners of older motors with three-pin connectors will need the EP Carry three-pin-to-two-pin conversion kit before connecting this battery.
