Description
36V 100Ah Lithium Battery — CLI100-36
The Canbat CLI100-36 is a high-capacity 36V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery built for applications where extended runtime is the priority — all-day trolling motor use, multi-round golf cart operation, and off-grid power systems that need serious reserve capacity. With 3,840Wh of usable energy in a single unit, it delivers twice the capacity of the CLI50-36 while maintaining the same compact form factor, flat voltage curve, and maintenance-free operation that define the Canbat CLI range.
Built on LiFePO4 chemistry — the most thermally stable and cycle-proven lithium format available — the CLI100-36 is rated for 3,000–5,000 full charge/discharge cycles at 100% depth of discharge. It ships free across Canada and the USA with same-day dispatch, carries a 10-year warranty, and is built with UL 1642 certified cells. For Canadian buyers, there are no cross-border duties or import complications.
36V Trolling Motor Battery
The CLI100-36 is built for anglers who fish hard all day and expect the battery to outlast them. With 100Ah of usable capacity and 3,840Wh of energy, it delivers runtime that eliminates range anxiety entirely — even at higher thrust settings across a full tournament day or multi-location fishing trip.
At a moderate 15–18A draw, expect 6–7 hours of continuous runtime. At a slow troll of 10–12A, the CLI100-36 will run 8–10 hours without breaking a sweat. For guides, tournament anglers, and serious recreational fishers who cover large water or fish back-to-back days without opportunity to recharge, this is the battery built for the job.
Like all Canbat LiFePO4 batteries, the CLI100-36 holds a flat voltage curve under load — your motor runs at consistent power from the first cast to the last, with no progressive slowdown as the battery depletes. With a 100A maximum continuous discharge current, it handles the peak draw demands of high-thrust motors without voltage sag. Compatible with all standard 36-volt trolling motor platforms including Minn Kota (Ultrex, Terrova, Riptide), Garmin Force, Newport, and others. M8 terminal hardware is included.
| Motor Draw | Speed Setting | Estimated Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 10–12A | Slow troll | ~8–10 hours continuous |
| 15–18A | Moderate / cruising | ~6–7 hours continuous |
| 20–25A | Higher speed | ~4–5 hours continuous |
| Mixed use | All-day fishing | Full day with reserve capacity |
Runtime based on 100% usable depth of discharge. Actual results vary by motor model, thrust level, and conditions.
36V Golf Cart Battery
The CLI100-36 is a high-capacity lithium upgrade for 36-volt golf cart systems. Where the CLI50-36 replaces a standard lead-acid pack, the CLI100-36 is the choice for operators who need extended range — course managers, resort fleets, and users covering longer distances or running accessories alongside the drivetrain.
Despite delivering twice the energy of the CLI50-36, the CLI100-36 remains a single-unit solution. At approximately 72.8 lbs (33 kg), it is still dramatically lighter than a conventional lead-acid pack of equivalent capacity — which can commonly weigh anywhere from 200–350+ lbs depending on configuration. That weight reduction directly improves range, reduces drivetrain wear, and transforms handling on hills and uneven terrain.
The integrated BMS handles all cell-level protection with no external management required. Up to four CLI100-36 units can be connected in parallel to scale capacity to 36V 200Ah, 300Ah, or 400Ah. Series connection to increase voltage is not supported.
Runtime & Performance
Understanding what 3,840Wh means in your specific application helps set accurate expectations before you buy:
| Application | Average Draw | Estimated Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Trolling motor — slow troll | 10–12A | ~8–10 hours |
| Trolling motor — moderate speed | 18–22A | ~5–6 hours |
| Trolling motor — high speed | 30A+ | ~3 hours |
| Golf cart — 18 holes | Varies | Multiple rounds with reserve |
| Off-grid inverter (400W load) | ~11A | ~9 hours |
| Marine electronics (fishfinder, nav) | 3–5A | 20–30+ hours |
These figures reflect the CLI100-36’s full 100Ah — the complete usable capacity. AGM batteries should not be regularly discharged below 50% depth of discharge to avoid accelerated degradation, meaning real-world usable capacity is significantly reduced over time. The CLI100-36 delivers its full 100Ah on every cycle.
One 36V Lithium Battery vs. Three 12V Lead-Acid Batteries
Most 36V marine and golf cart systems have historically run on three 12V batteries wired in series. Upgrading to a single 36V lithium unit changes the system fundamentally — not just the chemistry.
| CLI100-36 (36V LiFePO4) | 3× 12V AGM Lead-Acid | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | ~72.8 lbs (33 kg) | 200–350+ lbs depending on AGM configuration |
| Usable Capacity | 100Ah (100% DoD) | Varies by configuration — degrades significantly over time |
| Cycle Life | 3,000–5,000 cycles | 300–500 cycles |
| Wiring | Single unit — simple | 3 batteries in series |
| Maintenance | None required | Terminal cleaning, equalization charges |
| Voltage Under Load | Flat curve — consistent power | Drops progressively |
| Lifespan | 10+ years | 3–5 years |
| Long-Term Cost | Lower (fewer replacements) | Higher (frequent replacement) |
The weight advantage is especially significant for marine applications. Even at 72.8 lbs, the CLI100-36 is a fraction of the weight of a comparable lead-acid bank — weight that previously sat in the bow or stern affecting trim, fuel efficiency, and overall handling.

Battery Management System & Bluetooth Monitoring
Every CLI100-36 includes an integrated BMS that actively monitors and protects the cell stack during both charge and discharge. There is no external battery management required — the BMS is built in and operates automatically.
- Over-discharge protection — prevents cell damage from excessive depth of discharge
- Over-charge protection — disconnects at the correct voltage ceiling
- Short circuit protection — responds within milliseconds
- Low-temperature charge cutoff — prevents charging in sub-zero conditions that damage lithium cells
- Cell balancing — maintains consistency across internal cell groups over thousands of cycles
The optional Bluetooth add-on connects the battery to the free Canbat app (iOS and Android). From your phone, you can monitor real-time state of charge, voltage, current draw, and charge status — particularly useful for high-capacity applications where knowing remaining runtime is critical.
Seasonal Storage & Long-Term Shelf Life
LiFePO4 chemistry has a substantially lower self-discharge rate than lead-acid — typically losing only 2–3% of charge per month at room temperature. For long-term storage, Canbat recommends charging the CLI100-36 to 80–100% state of charge before storing in a cool, dry environment.
For seasonal equipment — fishing boats, golf carts, and RVs stored over winter — this is a meaningful practical advantage. Before storage, charge the battery to 80–100% state of charge, then disconnect and store. No trickle chargers, no battery tenders, and no equalization cycles are required before the next season.
