Farewell to Fuel and Paddles. LiTime Unveils the World’s First Complete Solution for Non-Powered Boat Conversion, Enabling Tens of Millions of Boat Owners to Go ElectricIssuing time:2025-09-06 10:44 LiTime, a global pioneer in new energy technology, today launched the world’s first complete solution for non-powered boat conversion. Guided by user needs and driven by innovation, the solution has been refined through thousands of real-world boating tests to make electric boating accessible for everyone. From luxury vessels to practical conversions, making electric boating a joy for all
Since ancient times, humanity has been bound to the water. From Europe’s long seafaring traditions, to Native Americans navigating lakes and rivers in canoes, to generations of Australians setting out along the coast, the courage to explore open waters and unknown horizons has always been embedded in human history and culture. Today, that spirit of exploration has shifted from epic voyages to everyday life. Yet the reality often proves discouraging. Many families still rely on the most basic approach—paddle by hand—expending effort long before the fun begins. As one boater put it, “Every trip with the kids turns into a workout. By the time we reach the spot, I’m already exhausted.” The vision of electric boating remains out of reach for many households. Factory-built electric boats often cost well over $100,000, far beyond the means of most families. For those considering a DIY conversion, the process is no less daunting: sourcing an outboard motor, batteries, a charger, and the necessary accessories, while also worrying about compatibility and safety. The dream of electric boating sits on the horizon, but is too often blocked by high costs and overwhelming complexity. It is with this challenge in mind that LiTime, guided by its vision of “Powering Outdoor Adventures for Generations,” has introduced a solution: the world’s first complete solution for non-powered boat conversion. This solution integrates batteries, accessories, and recommended outboard motor options into one package, eliminating the need for users to piece together components through trial and error. With its one-stop design, it makes electrifying non-powered boats simple and efficient—while offering a more affordable price point that truly makes electric boating accessible. For example, a 1–2 person kayak can be upgraded to an electric boat with an investment of about $2,000—just 1/50 of the cost of mainstream electric boats. A typical 4–6 person dinghies (made of fiberglass, aluminum, wood, or other materials) requires around $5,000 to go electric, still at roughly 1/20 the cost of mainstream models. All costs include both the vessel and the complete power system. Key Benefits of LiTime’s Solution for Tens of Millions of Boaters
Unlike traditional battery makers that focus only on battery packs, or outboard manufacturers that leave power integration to the buyer, LiTime is thinking one step ahead for the user— bridging the gap to deliver the world’s first complete solution for non-powered boat conversion. A LiTime spokesperson said, “We care about every user who has not yet had the chance to experience electric boating. With this reliable solution, we hope to make electrification simple and accessible, allowing passion to be unleashed in every journey on the water.”
Trolling Motor and Outboard Motor Batteries: The Core of the SolutionAs an innovator in lithium battery technology, LiTime has focused on addressing the practical challenges outdoor users face. Between 2023 and 2024, through research with more than 500 boating enthusiasts, the company identified two key issues: conventional batteries often fail to deliver sustained, stable power for trolling motors under continuous high-current discharge, and their output can be unreliable during outboard motor startup or rapid acceleration—resulting in insufficient performance. To address these challenges, LiTime developed two milestone products:
Together, the Trolling Motor and Outboard Motor series not only resolve long-standing performance challenges but also form the reliable power backbone of LiTime’s world-first complete solution for non-powered boat conversion. Continuous Innovation Expands Marine ApplicationsBeyond the Trolling Motor and Outboard Motor batteries, LiTime continues to break new ground with a series of industry firsts:
Today, LiTime’s marine portfolio includes more than 60 battery models and 34 chargers, creating one of the most comprehensive product matrices in the industry. These innovations, driven by insights into real user needs, further strengthen LiTime’s presence in the marine sector and establish a systematic product ecosystem that ensures safer, more complete energy solutions for every boating scenario. Powering Dreams Across Lakes and SeasLiTime believes electrification is not only a technological shift but also a lifestyle transformation. With the world’s first complete solution for non-powered boat conversion, the company has turned what was once a complex retrofitting process into a simple choice, making electric boating affordable and accessible for everyone. Whether on North America's Great Lakes, Europe's Alpine lake regions, or Australia's Gold Coast, LiTime users can easily fish on lakes, enjoy family cruising, or release their passion in evening water sports, fully experiencing the freedom, tranquility, and joy of exploration on the water. “Powering Outdoor Adventures for Generations” is no longer just a vision; it is a commitment LiTime is delivering to boaters worldwide.
