Assembled from the evidence on this page. Every figure and count below is shown with the source it was read from.

Battery and charging

Energy: Sources disagree
Energy printed on the battery: 2160Wh printed on the battery itself
Voltage: 36V

Rated charge cycles: Sources disagree
Charging voltage: Sources disagree
Highest charge current it will take: Sources disagree
Maximum continuous discharge: 60A continuous
Peak discharge: Sources disagree
Recommended charging: Under 0.3C — three hours or more from empty
Charger the maker names: A 36V 8A charger is included; an 18A one is offered
Series and parallel limit: Not to be wired in series — 36V systems only
Wiring a higher-voltage string: Series wiring above 48V voids the warranty

Battery care and safety

Ingress protection: Somewhere between IP65 and IP67 — the manual does not say which
What the battery management system protects against: Balancing, low and high voltage cut-off, short circuit, high temperature
Temperatures it may be charged in: Sources disagree
Temperatures it may be run in: Sources disagree

Size and fit

Overall dimensions: 331 × 172 × 221 mm
Torque for the battery terminal nuts: 15 ft·lb maximum
Against BCI's published group size: 1 mm longer than Group 31 allows, and 19 mm under its height
Group size the maker names: Group 31 marine — the case of a standard 12V 100Ah lead-acid
Terminal thread: M8 bolt terminals, F12 — the posts screw in
Weight as stated: 44 lb (20 kg)

Compatibility

Trolling motor thrust it is sized for: 36V trolling motors to 120 lb of thrust
Uses the maker lists it for: Deep cycle, marine, trolling, industrial — and starting

Identity

The model it replaces: Replaces the 36V 63Ah, which is fulfilled with this pack

Warranty, returns and support

How long the warranty lasts: 11 years against manufacturing defects
What the warranty covers: 11 years against defects — not against the pack wearing out
Whether the warranty transfers on resale: Original owner only; one exchange; accessories get 1 year

Certification claims

The maker's own safety claim: The maker calls them 100% safe and not prone to fire
Company quality certification: Sources disagree
Standards the maker claims: The cells are UL1642 certified; there is no standard called UN 38

Devices documented to run on this

The figures below line up. Neither manufacturer states that this pack runs this device — that is our reading of what each of them published separately, not a claim by either of them or a test by us. Even where every stated figure agrees, these can still decide it:

A motor’s published draw is usually a peak, not the load it holds — the two numbers are not the same kind of quantity
A maker’s amp-hour minimum and their reserve-capacity minimum can give different answers about the same battery
Conditions attached to the chemistry, such as a speed limit for running on lithium
Whether the pack may be wired in series at all, where the device needs 24 or 36 volts
The charger, which both makers put conditions on and neither supplies
Case size, hold-down and terminal type — fitting the space is not being secured in it

Worth confirming with the manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

The two makers do not agree here. The battery maker's own rule covers this motor, quoted above. The motor's maker asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating, and this pack is 60 Ah. Both statements are recorded and neither has been resolved in favour of the other.

The two makers do not agree here. The battery maker's own rule covers this motor, quoted above. The motor's maker asks for 100 Ah minimum for a lead-acid or AGM battery, and 50 Ah to 100 Ah where the battery is lithium, and this pack is 60 Ah (its chemistry is not published in anything we hold, so the stricter of the two figures applies). Both statements are recorded and neither has been resolved in favour of the other.
