Battery Not Included? Here's Why & How to Choose the Best Power

When you look at the Barrowdoc Electric Barrow Conversion Wheel kit, you'll notice it includes the motorised wheel, controller, throttle, and fittings – but not the battery or charger. This might seem like an omission, but it's actually a deliberate choice designed to give you, the angler, maximum flexibility and control over your power source, tailoring it to your specific needs and budget.

Different anglers have different requirements. Someone fishing short day sessions close to the car park will need less battery capacity than an angler planning a 48-hour session on a remote water. By not including a battery, Barrowdoc allows you to select the perfect 24V battery (LiFePO4 or Lithium-ion are often recommended for their performance and weight) that matches your typical session length and budget.

For instance, a 24V 12Ah battery might be sufficient for a few hours of use, while a 24V 20Ah or 22Ah battery could provide power for much longer adventures, potentially lasting multiple trips between charges depending on terrain and load. This choice allows you to optimize for weight, capacity, and cost. You can also choose a charger that suits your preferred charging speed and features.

Sourcing your own battery also means you can often find competitive deals or select brands you already trust. Many tackle shops or specialist battery suppliers offer a range of suitable 24V lithium options. Remember to also consider a suitable battery bag or housing to protect your power source from the elements and make it easy to carry on your barrow.

So, while the battery and charger are separate purchases, this approach empowers you to create a truly customised electric barrow setup. The Barrowdoc kit provides the exceptional motor and control system, and you provide the perfectly matched power source for your unique angling style.
