Usage
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lighter, for a more responsive setup
The smaller size keeps the system lighter and more responsive underfoot, for more natural turns, easier take-offs, and a livelier ride when pumping between sections or linking waves. With less mass and swing weight at the front of the unit, your board is easier to turn, pump, change direction, and unstick from the water. For pumping, surfing, downwind, wing, and parawing, the difference in ride feel is noticeable.
Why choose the High Power MAX Sport 396?
This battery is for riders who want a lighter, more responsive feel with more runtime compared to the original Sport battery (non-High Power). It keeps your MAX setup compact, reduces drag, makes pumping easier, and improves responsiveness in turns, while adding significant capacity for longer, more versatile sessions. For surf, wing, parawing, downwind, and lighter foil assist configurations, it's one of the best ways to make an existing MAX kit feel livelier, more efficient, and more performance-oriented.

FAQ
What kind of runtime can I expect?
In Assist mode, you can expect approximately 25 to 40 minutes with intensive motor use, or 30 to 55 minutes with light motor use. We don't recommend using this battery for e-foiling due to its short runtime. These durations are estimates and will vary based on rider weight and skill level, motor usage, equipment, conditions, and temperature.
What's the difference from the original Sport battery?
The MAX Sport 396 High Power battery offers 20% more capacity than the original MAX Sport battery. If you're currently using the Sport, you can expect about 20% more session time, while keeping that same light and responsive ride feel.
Is it compatible with my setup?
This battery is compatible with the Assist MAX system and both the 40V Fast and Standard chargers. It requires the Nose Cone B (the smallest one, which comes with the MAX kit). If you're unsure about your configuration, just get in touch.
