Jet Ski Battery
The group 20 battery is a popular size for personal watercraft, so it should come as no surprise that the Kawasaki SX-R jet ski uses that battery. OPTIMA now offers a direct-fit lithium upgrade with our QUAD20 ORANGETOP. If you race your jet ski, you'll appreciate an immediate weight reduction of about 10-11 pounds when compared to a comparable AGM battery.
Significant weight savings is just the beginning of benefits offered by these ORANGETOP batteries. OPTIMA ORANGETOP lithium batteries are IP67-rated against dust and water intrusion. While the dust protection probably helps UTV users more, the IP67 rating is definitely appreciated by personal watercraft users. The "7" in IP67 indicates these batteries can be submerged in up to a meter (because it's an internationally used standard and we all know what a meter is) of water for up to 30 minutes. While some batteries may advertise an IP65 rating, that only protects against low pressure jets of water or splashing.
We've interviewed hundreds of tournament anglers about their batteries and the most commonly reported failure mode for those using lithium batteries was water intrusion into the cases. If you think a jet ski battery is more likely to get wet than a bass boat battery, then you'll definitely want one with IP67 protection.
OPTIMA's ORANGETOP lithium batteries also offer vastly superior cycle life when compared to a lead-acid battery. We're talking a scale of thousands of cycles versus hundreds. We also know many PWC batteries are buried in hard-to-reach areas. It was for that reason, that we designed our patented POWERLINK dongle, that gives you remote access to the battery for turning it on and off, checking state of charge and charging it with an OPTIMA battery charger.
We also made sure to add a robust BMS (battery management system) that has our CPR system that automatically disconnects your battery, if it senses it is being deeply discharged by a parasitic draw. That holds enough energy in your battery to start your engine one more time and get you home safely! OPTIMA's QUAD20 ORANGETOP lithium battery really is the pinnacle of technology in a powerful, lightweight package and it's backed by OPTIMA's five-year, free replacement warranty!
