Product Description
The BLD-72V-IP68-ESB series is a purpose-built lithium-ion battery pack for performance-grade electric surfboards operating in open-water environments. Available in two configurations — 72V 50Ah (3,600Wh) and 72V 58Ah (4,176Wh) — both packs are built on 26650 cylindrical NCM cells and deliver sustained 200A discharge output to support 10–15kW motor systems without thermal throttling or voltage sag under full load.
The IP68-rated enclosure is tested for continuous submersion at 20 meters, with dual-layer silicone gaskets, pressure-sealed T-handle, and a magnetic switch that functions reliably in saltwater without corrosion. The 26650 NCM cell format is selected specifically for its higher energy density over 18650 at equivalent discharge rates — a requirement for compact marine enclosures where volume is fixed but runtime expectations are high.

Features & Advantages
⚡ 200A Continuous Discharge — Built for 10–15kW Motor Systems
At 72V nominal, 200A continuous output equals 14.4kW sustained power delivery. The 26650 NCM cells are specified for high-rate discharge without accelerated degradation — the BMS fuse threshold sits at 220A, giving motor systems full headroom under peak throttle without tripping protection. No derating at sea temperature.
🌊 IP68 to 20 Meters — Tested, Not Rated-on-Paper
IP68 means continuous submersion beyond 1 meter. This pack is verified to 20m. The enclosure uses dual-layer silicone gaskets with torque-controlled fasteners verified per IEC 60529. The magnetic switch and T-handle maintain watertight integrity under repeated thermal cycling between cold seawater and air — a real-world stress that cheaper IP65 housings fail in under 30 days of salt exposure.
🔄 Underwater Hot Swap — No Board-Out-of-Water Required
The T-handle and magnetic switch allow full battery replacement while the surfboard remains in the water. For rental operations running back-to-back sessions, eliminating the lift-dry-swap cycle translates directly to throughput. A fleet of 10 boards running 4 swaps per day saves approximately 3 hours of handling time daily compared to conventional battery designs.
🧠 6-Point BMS Protection — Japanese IC Chipset
Integrated BMS covers: over-charge (84.0V cutoff), over-discharge (60.0V cutoff), overcurrent (220A threshold), over-temperature (65°C shutoff), short-circuit (microsecond response), and active cell balancing. Hardware-level protection operates independently — no app, no Bluetooth dependency, no single point of failure in the protection chain.
🔋 26650 NCM Cells — 800 Cycles at 80% DOD
The 26650 cylindrical format delivers higher capacity per cell than 18650 at equivalent discharge rates, which matters in a fixed-volume marine enclosure. Rated at ≥800 cycles before capacity drops below 80% of nominal under IEC 61960 conditions. The 58Ah variant achieves 4,176Wh in the same footprint through additional parallel cell groups — not a larger enclosure.
🏭 OEM/ODM — 8 Fully Configurable Parameters
Submit a spec sheet and we configure: nominal voltage (24V–96V), capacity (10Ah–200Ah+), continuous discharge current, enclosure dimensions, waterproof grade (IP65/IP67/IP68), connector type (XT90, Anderson, custom pin), BMS communication protocol (UART, CAN, RS485), and branding.
