Are ePropulsion outboards compatible with 3rd-party batteries?

Yes, although we recommend using genuine ePropulsion batteries with ePropulsion motors. In addition, the hydrogeneration feature of the Spirit 1.0 Evo and Navy Evo motors will not work with 3rd-party batteries.

For the 3rd-party batteries specs, the nominal battery rated voltage should be 48V, and the continuous discharge current should be over 62.5A (Navy 3.0 Evo and Pod Drive 3.0 Evo), and 125A (Navy 6.0 Evo and Pod Drive 6.0 Evo). To ensure at least one hour duration, the battery capacity should reach at least 3000Wh or 6000Wh.

When powered by 3rd-party batteries, the ePropulsion motor cannot access the real-time battery status nor apply the best operation strategy.

If any malfunction occurred due to the 3rd party batteries, the warranty would not apply.
