  Lithium Pros' own sentence is "Built with Lithium Iron Phosphate cells tested to the UL1642 standard". Every word of that is narrower than the mark a buyer expects to find in a specification list, in three separate ways. It is about the cells. UL 1642 covers lithium cells, not the assembled battery — the standard's subject is the cell that goes inside. A battery built from cells tested to UL 1642 is not itself certified to anything by that fact. UL 1973 and IEC 62619 are the standards that cover a finished pack, and neither is claimed anywhere on these pages. It says tested to, not certified. Those are different claims. No certificate, certificate number or issuing document is published. It names no cell supplier. Which cells, tested by whom, is not stated. None of that makes the claim false. It makes it a claim about what is inside the battery rather than about the battery, and the maker's own wording is given above so a reader can weigh it themselves.

Each standard listed is an independent claim about this specific product — one standard does not imply compliance with another.

Compatible chargers

Lithium Pros' own charger and Lithium Pros' own pack.

Their page for this charger says it is "purpose built for Lithium Pros 36V Lithium Ion Marine batteries", and this pack is one of their 36 volt batteries, which Lithium Pros rate at that voltage exactly.

They name a voltage and a family rather than a model, so this row is exactly as specific as they were: it places the pack inside the description the charger gives, and does not say the two were tested together.

It connects with alligator clips rather than being wired in.

  Lithium Pros publish no recharge time for this charger — the only one of their four where they do not — saying instead that its 7 amps recharge their 36 volt batteries “with ease”. Charging and discharging are different questions: this is 7 amps going in, and Lithium Pros publish no discharge current for any of their packs, so nothing here says what the pack delivers.

  The charger may not go in the boat. Lithium Pros state it "is make for dry location/shore use and does not mount in the boat" — their wording — so this pairing works at the dock and not underway. Lithium Pros put the recharge time at two and a half hours on their own 36 volt marine packs, and qualify it themselves: actual time varies by application and by how much energy was used. Charging and discharging are different questions: this is 18 amps going in, and Lithium Pros publish no discharge current for any of their packs, so nothing here says what the pack delivers.
