| The Lithium Battery Industry’s Best App Just Got Better! |
| Norsk Lithium® Launches a Huge Free Update for Their Norsk Guardian™ App |
| New Hope, Minn. (January 6, 2025) – The smartphone has become an indispensable tool for modern anglers, offering GPS-enabled mapping apps, cameras to document catches, and social platforms to track bite patterns and connect with fellow anglers. Norsk Lithium® has redesigned its Norsk Guardian™ App to enhance the user interface, delivering an improved user experience for controlling, monitoring, and organizing Norsk Lithium batteries. Unlike other apps anglers rely on for mapping or social networking, Norsk Guardian™ focuses on providing real-time performance metrics, health alerts, and seamless connectivity to ensure batteries perform at their best—whether on the water or off the grid. |
| Norsk Lithium listened to customer feedback and responded by adding Bluetooth® to the 14.8V line of Portable Sonar Batteries (Gen3), a feature previously only available in the Marine Battery line. This upgrade is a game-changer for hard water anglers, providing seamless connectivity to their portable sonar systems. With Bluetooth® integration, the Norsk Guardian™ App now connects to all Norsk Lithium Marine and 14.8V Portable Sonar Batteries (Gen3), allowing users to monitor key performance metrics and receive critical health alerts, ensuring peak performance in any season.The main dashboard has been completely redesigned. Now you can sort your batteries into four categories; Marine, Recreational Vehicle, Sonar, and Off-Grid. Once you connect to a battery you can assign it to a group within those four main categories. These sub-categories give you more control over your marine battery setups. For example, suppose you separate your batteries into a trolling motor group and a starting battery group. In that case, you can put your trolling motor batteries into Deep Sleep and leave your starting battery on with an automatic bilge pump for overnight docking. You won’t find this level of functionality in any other lithium battery app. |
| “It’s the only app that allows the user to display battery data from batteries connected in serial or parallel. We’re the only app that allows users to connect and view data from multiple batteries at one time and display it all on one page,” says Norsk VP of Strategy & Development, James Holst. |
| Holst continues: “You look at your phone and you have all the battery information from an entire boat battery installation – even 6, 8, or 10 batteries in one boat – and they’ll all be visible on one screen and you can see what they’re all doing at one time. Other battery apps require users to connect and disconnect to monitor each battery’s health. Or, if they do allow you to connect to more than one battery, they cannot monitor batteries connected in series or parallel. They only show you standalone batteries.” |
| Many anglers are putting together shuttles for their live imaging sonar systems. Instead of guessing how much time you have left from a shuttle voltage meter, you can let Norsk Guardian™ handle the math and tell you exactly how much time you have left down to the minute with the Runtime Calculator. Check your remaining runtime in seconds and get back to fishing. |

| NEW! ACTIVATE DEEP SLEEP™With the Deep Sleep™ feature in the Norsk Guardian™ app, you can easily disconnect power from your batteries’ terminals, eliminating phantom current draws and preventing fully discharged batteries. This convenient feature saves you from having to manually activate battery disconnect switches, ensuring your batteries remain charged and ready to use. Perfect for seasonal storage and traveling. NEW! ACTIVATE EMERGENCY START RESERVE [ESR]Norsk Lithium® Starting Batteries offer an Emergency Start Reserve [ESR] that allocates 25% of the battery’s capacity as a reserve available on demand so you’ll always have the power to start your outboard motor. With the Norsk Guardian™ app, you can easily access [ESR] from the convenience of your phone or with the power management button on top of the battery itself. NEW! INTEGRATED LIVE CHAT Norsk Lithium® is committed to delivering exceptional customer service. Users can connect directly with a US-based Norsk Lithium representative through the app for troubleshooting assistance or to address any general questions—all from the convenience of their smartphone. This commitment ensures every customer receives the support they need, whenever they need it.Holst concludes: “The Norsk Guardian™ app is also not a re-skinned app. It was built from the ground up to control our batteries. It allows users complete control of all major features and functions of the batteries, like Deep Sleep™. With the press of one button of the app you put all of the batteries in your boat to sleep and ready for storage up to a year. Nobody but Norsk has these capabilities. It’s about ease of use, convenience, and peace of mind, something we understand as anglers ourselves.” |
