Customer Profile:
"Gulf Coast Charter Services" operates a fleet of five fishing boats for daily guided tours in Florida. They struggled with the limitations of lead-acid batteries, which cut tours short and required frequent, costly replacements.
The Challenge:
● Limited Range: Lead-acid batteries couldn't power trolling motors for a full 8-9 hour day.
● High Maintenance: Frequent battery replacements led to a high total cost of ownership.
● Slow Recharging: Long charging times eliminated the possibility of running multiple tours per day.
The Haicen Solution:
We replaced their old battery banks with our 48V 100Ah Haicen LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery packs.
● Superior Energy Density: One lightweight Haicen pack replaced four heavy lead-acid batteries, significantly reducing vessel weight.
● Rapid Recharge: The boats could quickly recharge during a short lunch break, enabling back-to-back tours.
● Built-in Battery Management System (BMS): Provided accurate state-of-charge monitoring and protected the batteries from damage.
The Results:
● 150% Longer Runtime: The fleet now operates for full 10+ hour days in strong currents without fear of draining the batteries.
● Enabled Additional Tours: The fast charging capability allowed for the creation of a popular sunset tour, increasing revenue by 20%.
● Zero Maintenance & Long Life: After three years of heavy use, the batteries show no performance degradation, slashing long-term costs.
Customer Testimonial:
“Switching to Haicen was a game-changer. We never have to tell our clients we need to cut the trip short anymore. The reliability and runtime are incredible. It’s the best investment we’ve made for the business.” – Captain Mike Rodriguez
