The Epoch 36V 50Ah Essential Series (3650A-H) is a 38.4V heated, Bluetooth-enabled LiFePO4 deep-cycle battery with 1.92kWh of stored energy in a BCI Group 31 case. Built for 36V trolling motors on bass boats, pontoons, skiffs and aluminum boats, one battery can replace a three-battery 12V lead-acid trolling-motor bank at about 35 lb.
Internal heating supports charging down to -20°C (-4°F), a BMS-integrated shunt feeds accurate data to the Epoch Li-Ion app, and the IP65 case is dust-tight and protected against water jets. It is rated for 4,000+ cycles and backed by an 11-year limited manufacturer warranty when registered within 90 days of purchase.
Key Features
-
100A continuous output: 100A maximum continuous discharge (25A recommended) with a 130A peak for up to 10 seconds.
-
Replaces a three-battery bank: One 38.4V battery can replace three 12V lead-acid trolling-motor batteries in a 35 lb Group 31 case.
-
Heated charging: At 0°C the BMS pauses charging while incoming charge current (at least 0.5A) powers heating pads; charging resumes automatically at 5°C (41°F).
-
Bluetooth monitoring: The Epoch Li-Ion app shows state of charge, voltage, current, temperature and status from a BMS-integrated shunt with 0.2A accuracy.
-
IP65 rated: Dust-tight and protected against water jets for many trolling-motor, fishing-boat and outdoor marine installs.
-
Advanced BMS: Protects against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and high and low temperature.
-
Parallel expansion: Up to 4 matched 3650A-H batteries in parallel (200Ah, 7.68kWh) for longer runtime.
-
4,000+ cycle life: No watering, acid service or routine lead-acid maintenance.
Recommended Charging Settings
- Maximum continuous charge current: 50A per battery, all charging sources combined
- Recommended charge current: 25A (0.5C)
- Peak charge current: 120A for up to 10 seconds
- Bulk/absorption: 42.6V-43.2V
- Absorption end: charge current ≤ C/20 (2.5A) or 15 minutes, whichever comes first
- Float: disabled (preferred) or 40.0V-40.8V
- Re-bulk: 39.6V
- Temperature compensation: 0 mV/°C (off)
- Equalization: disabled; no lead-acid equalization, desulfation or repair modes
- Charger temperature limit setting: 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F), unless the charger has approved cold-charge logic
- BMS high voltage cutoff and SoC recalibration: 43.8V
- Alternators: a DC-to-DC charger programmed for LiFePO4 is highly recommended
- Use a LiFePO4 profile; do not use lead-acid, AGM or gel profiles
Runtime Planning
- Epoch plans on 80% of nominal energy: about 1,536Wh (40Ah) per battery
- A 10A average draw gives about 4 hours; a steady 500W load about 3.1 hours
- Thrust setting, motor efficiency, boat weight, wind, current and temperature change real-world results
Compatible Accessories
- Epoch 36V 15A LiFePO4 battery charger
- Epoch battery tray for 3650A-H (sold separately)
- Lithium-compatible 36V onboard marine charger
Suitable For:
- 36V trolling motors
- Bass and fishing boats
- Pontoons, skiffs and aluminum boats
- Replacing a three-battery 12V trolling motor bank
- Marine electronics and 36V auxiliary loads
- 36V RV, van and camper systems
- Off-grid solar and backup power (36V)
Please Note: Deep-cycle only: not cranking-rated and not for engine or outboard starting.
Please Note: Do not connect in series; parallel only, up to 4.
Please Note: Size loads, conductors and overcurrent protection to the 100A continuous rating; the 130A rating applies for up to 10 seconds only.
Please Note: Not a drop-in for every Group 31 lead-acid or AGM installation: check tray fit, terminal clearance, cable size, overcurrent protection and charger profile.
Please Note: IP65 is not submersible: do not submerge, pressure-wash or mount where water can pool.
Please Note: The BMS does not replace a correctly rated fuse or DC breaker near the battery positive.
Please Note: Confirm the ratings on your battery label before raising a charger's current limit; earlier production may carry different ratings.

Epoch-branded chargers carry a 2-year limited warranty and accessories (such as fuel gauges and voltage reducers) a 1-year limited warranty, from the original purchase date.
Registration
Register your battery with Epoch within 90 days of purchase for full warranty coverage. If it is not registered within that time, the warranty period begins from the battery's original manufacturing date. Proof of ownership is required for any claim, and coverage is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser.
Remedy
After inspection and testing, Epoch will provide the applicable remedy for a qualifying manufacturing defect: an approved repair, a replacement, or a comparable-product offer according to the model's schedule. Typical repair turnaround is 3–10 business days once the product is received.
Exclusions
Coverage may be denied when a failure is caused by misuse, improper handling, installation or storage, or use outside the product's specifications. Examples include an unsecured battery; loose, corroded or improperly connected terminals; series or parallel connections beyond the manufacturer's recommendations; reverse polarity or short circuits; impact, fire or water submersion; storage above 140°F or below -40°F; prolonged storage fully discharged or batteries left uncharged for more than three months; poor crimps, undersized cables or damaged wiring; opened, modified or tampered products; and use in applications the battery was not designed for, including repeated engine starting on non-cranking models.
Obtaining Warranty Service
