How long do Lift eFoil batteries last and how much will they cost?

How long do Lift3 efoil batteries last and how much will they cost?

Efoil surfing is one of the newest and most exciting water sports on the market. The electric surfboard permits you to experience the thrill of surfing without having to live near the ocean. The hydrofoil, which produces lift comparable to an airplane wing, elevates the board above the lake's surface.

An eFoil is a surfboard with an electric propeller just above the hydrofoil wing that drives the board through water. The eFoil is driven by a quietly spinning electric motor and rechargeable battery. It's operated by a handheld wireless remote that connects to it via Bluetooth.

To keep the board moving, the eFoil rider does not need to paddle or pump with their legs. An eFoil is essentially the world's tiniest personal, motorized watercraft. But, where is all this power coming from? How long can a session on the water last? How much does it cost? These are all great questions.

The Lift eFoil is powered by a silent electric motor thanks to an advanced lithium-ion battery. With the Light Battery, you can ride for up to 60 minutes; with the Full Range Battery, you may go for 100 minutes or more.

The Light Battery: Cost $2950.00 (Prices Subject to Change)

The Light Battery s a custom built lithium-ion battery developed for harsh marine conditions. It provides 60 minutes of ride time, depending on the rider weight, wing set-up and speed and is 7 pounds lighter than the "Full Range Battery" making it a bit easier to transport.

The battery is enclosed in a rugged, IP68 waterproof housing that allows it to be easily transported and safely installed. It is also easily replaceable and rechargeable, with charge times of less than two hours. The Light Battery comes with the Fischer (5-pin) data connection. Lift backs it up with a one year / 300 charge cycle warranty.

Batteries are interchangeable if you want to upgrade to the Full Range Battery, or keep more than one on hand you can easily swap them in and out of the efoil. Many Efoilers will purchase an extra battery so that they can always have one on the board and one on the charger. Both battery options are compatible with all generations of the Lift eFoil.
