Comparison vs 12V 1200MCA Model
The 12V 1600MCA delivers more starting power and longer reserve time than the 1200MCA model. It’s ideal for larger outboards, multi-battery setups, or boats with high electronic demand. Both models use the same LiFePO4 chemistry and Bluetooth-enabled jump start system, but the 1600MCA offers extra output and capacity for extended marine use.
| Specification | 12V 1200MCA | 12V 1600MCA |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Cranking Amps | 800A (15 sec @ -7°C) | 850A (15 sec @ -7°C) |
| Reserve Capacity | 192 minutes @ 25A | 240 minutes @ 25A |
| Weight | 10.3kg | 10.9kg |
| Best Suited For | Mid-sized outboards and balanced power setups | Large outboards and heavy-duty accessory systems |
Compatibility and Charging
Designed to meet Mercury Marine alternator and cranking standards for outboards up to 600hp, this battery can be charged directly from the alternator without a DC-DC converter. The smart BMS protection system balances charge levels across cells, protecting against overheating, overcharging, and voltage drop during heavy use.
