Trey McKinney Claims 2026 Bassmaster Angler of the Year — Powered by a Full ABYSS BATTERY® System
At 21 years old, ABYSS-sponsored pro Trey McKinney just became the youngest Bassmaster Angler of the Year in history — edging Cory Johnston by four points in a nine-event season that came down to one 6-pound smallmouth on the St. Lawrence River. Every mile of it ran on a full ABYSS BATTERY® system: twin 12V 150Ah Dual Purpose batteries for cranking and electronics, and the complete INFINITE™ Series up front. See the setup, the season, and why the best in the game trust ABYSS to Power Their Pursuit.
Why the SEAL™ 36V Battery Features Integrated Fire Suppression — And Why It Matters
Innovation isn't about following the market. It's about anticipating where the market is going.
As lithium batteries become larger, more powerful, and increasingly integrated into modern fishing and boating platforms, we recognized an opportunity to raise the standard for battery safety.
The result was the INFINITE SERIES™ 36V Lithium Trolling Motor Battery platform.
The internal fire suppression system is designed to automatically deploy in the unlikely event of a severe thermal incident within the battery enclosure, helping to suppress and contain the event before it can escalate.
While ABYSS batteries are built using premium LiFePO4 chemistry—already recognized as one of the safest lithium chemistries available—we believe additional protection is never a bad thing when it comes to protecting your boat, investment, and time on the water.

The Truth About Bi-Directional Marine DC-DC Chargers
The marine industry didn’t need another complicated power manager.
It needed a bi-directional charger that understands how boats are actually used.
As 24V and 36V lithium trolling motor systems became standard, bi-directional charging quickly moved from “nice to have” to essential. Early category leaders introduced software-driven solutions that promised full power management through apps, configuration screens, and user-defined rules.
In practice, those systems revealed a problem no one advertised: complex power management requires constant supervision.
That’s why the Shark Bi-Directional DC-DC Charger deserves a closer look—not as part of a bundled ecosystem, but as a standalone alternative to bi-directional chargers.
