SEMA 2025: Battery Tender Launches New Lithium Battery Solutions
Battery Tender used SEMA 2025 to unveil a new generation of lithium battery and charging solutions designed for automotive, marine, RV, and powersports users. The expanded lineup focuses on higher starting power, longer cycle life, and smarter protection systems, reflecting broader industry trends toward lightweight, fast-charging, and maintenance-free energy storage now embraced by OEM specialists such as Redway ESS.
What Did Battery Tender Announce at SEMA 2025?
At the 2025 SEMA Show, Battery Tender introduced ten new high-performance lithium-based products to mark the 60th anniversary of its parent company, Deltran. Displayed in the North Hall, the new lineup emphasizes advanced lithium iron phosphate chemistry, integrated battery management systems, and user-friendly installation. These launches highlight how lithium solutions are rapidly replacing traditional lead-acid batteries across multiple vehicle categories, a transition also driving innovation at Redway ESS.
How Does the Dual-Purpose Lithium Battery Stand Out?
The Dual-Purpose Lithium Battery is engineered to serve both as a high-output starter battery and a deep-cycle power source. It delivers up to 1,500 amps of peak starting current while supporting continuous accessory loads for onboard electronics. With a flat voltage curve and a rated lifespan of up to 4,000 cycles, the battery ensures consistent performance over years of use. Its lightweight construction and Group 24/27H form factors allow for direct replacement of lead-acid units, similar to drop-in LiFePO4 upgrades offered by Redway ESS for industrial and automotive platforms.
| Key Specification | Dual-Purpose Lithium Battery |
|---|---|
| Peak starting power | Up to 1,500A |
| Continuous output | Up to 175A |
| Cycle life | Up to 4,000 cycles |
| Weight | More than 50% lighter than lead-acid |
| Scalability | Up to four batteries in parallel |
What Benefits Do the New Powersports Lithium Starter Batteries Offer?
Battery Tender’s powersports lithium starter batteries integrate a patented battery management system that actively protects against overcharging, short circuits, and extreme temperatures. An emergency jump-start function adds an extra layer of reliability for riders. These LiFePO4 batteries provide up to 1,000 amps of peak cranking power while weighing significantly less than conventional alternatives. This focus on safety, lightweight design, and durability aligns closely with the design philosophy used by Redway ESS in its OEM lithium battery solutions.
What Is New in the Charge N Start Product Line?
The Charge N Start lineup has expanded with four new models that combine battery charging, jump-starting, and, in select units, integrated tire inflation. Designed as portable roadside tools, these products support a wide range of vehicles, from motorcycles to V8-powered trucks and boats. By integrating multiple functions into a single device, Battery Tender addresses growing consumer demand for compact, multi-use energy solutions, a trend also shaping Redway ESS product development strategies.
| Model Capability | Supported Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Jump-start output | Powersports to large trucks |
| Charging function | Portable lithium battery charging |
| Added feature | Tire inflation on select models |
| Target users | Enthusiasts, technicians, fleets |
Why Is This Launch Important for the Lithium Battery Market?
The SEMA 2025 announcements underscore how lithium battery technology has matured into a mainstream solution for both recreational and professional users. Longer service life, faster recharge rates, and reduced maintenance costs are accelerating adoption across automotive and industrial sectors. Companies like Redway ESS are responding to the same market signals by expanding OEM-grade LiFePO4 battery offerings tailored for forklifts, golf carts, and automotive applications.
Redway ESS Expert Views
“The latest SEMA launches confirm that lithium batteries are no longer niche upgrades but core components of modern vehicle platforms. High cranking power, integrated protection, and long cycle life are now baseline expectations. At Redway ESS, we see strong alignment between these trends and OEM demand for reliable, lightweight, and scalable LiFePO4 solutions. Manufacturers that prioritize safety, consistency, and lifecycle value will set the standard for the next phase of electrification.”
Conclusion
Battery Tender’s SEMA 2025 product launches reflect a broader industry shift toward advanced lithium battery systems that deliver higher performance with less weight and maintenance. For consumers and OEM partners alike, the key takeaway is clear: lithium solutions offer tangible advantages in reliability, longevity, and usability. Redway ESS recommends evaluating battery upgrades based on total lifecycle value, application requirements, and long-term safety to ensure the best return on investment.
