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.
Electric Fishing Reel Battery: The Complete Guide for Offshore Anglers

This guide reflects real-world testing and feedback from charter captains, commercial crews, and serious recreational anglers who run our batteries every day for their Electric Fishing Reels.
Lithium vs. AGM Trolling Motor Batteries: The Honest 10-Year Cost
If you run a 36V trolling motor offshore, you've already done the gut-check at the register: a set of three Group 31 AGMs rings up cheap, and a single lithium pack makes you swallow hard.
We're not going to tell you the upfront prices are close. They aren't. What we're going to do — captain to captain — is run the real ten-year math on a 36V setup, because the sticker price is the one number that lies to you.
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.
Why More Offshore Boat Owners Are Switching to Lithium Marine Power Systems
The offshore marine industry has changed dramatically over the last decade. Today’s boats are carrying more technology, larger electronics packages, advanced sonar systems, gyrostabilizers, electric reel setups, live bait systems, pumps, lighting, and integrated accessories that place enormous demands on onboard power systems. The problem? Traditional marine battery technology was never designed for the electrical demands of modern offshore boats.That’s exactly why more serious boat owners, OEM builders, and marine installers are making the switch to lithium marine power systems.
