WattCycle's Prime Day Event Offers Up To 70% Off LiFePO4 Batteries And Debuts New Products
Anonymous
WattCycle has launched Prime Day 2026, its biggest sale event ever, offering discounts of up to 70% off LiFePO4 batteries starting June 15. The 16-day event runs through June 30 and includes two new product debuts, a loyalty rewards boost, and daily gift giveaways, according to AP News.
The timing is no accident. Raw material costs for lithium batteries surged sharply in early 2026, with lithium carbonate prices rising 8% to 9% in a single month, according to Reuters. WattCycle is framing the sale as a last chance to lock in 2025-level pricing before those cost increases hit consumers at checkout.
70% Discounts and Double Points Drive the 16-Day Event
The sale covers WattCycle's full lineup of LiFePO4 batteries — a type of lithium battery known for long cycle life and safety. One featured deal is the 48V 50Ah Golf Cart battery, dropping from $679 to $499 during early Prime Day, GlobeNewswire reported. A 30-day price protection guarantee is also included, so buyers won't regret purchasing before prices drop further during the June 23 peak window.
All registered WattCycle members earn double loyalty points — called Wattpoints — on every qualifying purchase made during the event. Those points can be redeemed for free batteries, chargers, WattLINK cables, and branded gear like T-shirts, caps, and carry bags, according to Yahoo Finance.
Two New Products Debut Alongside a Daily Free Gift Window
Prime Day also marks the launch of two new WattCycle products. The first is the WattLINK Adapter Cable, described as a first-of-its-kind cable that lets WattCycle batteries plug directly into EcoFlow Delta 2 and Delta 3 units. The second is a Seismic Stackable Modular Battery Cabinet, a two-tier housing system built for high-capacity home energy storage, GlobeNewswire reported.
From June 23 to 26, the first five orders placed each day will receive a free branded gift at no extra charge. If an order is cancelled or returned, the complimentary item must be returned as well. One spin-wheel entry is also available per customer for newsletter subscribers, with prizes ranging from accessories to full batteries, according to StreetInsider.
A Downgrade Controversy Clouds the Brand's Momentum
WattCycle's sale launch comes just days after a damaging public controversy. On June 9, 2026, independent reviewer Will Prowse and tech site Hackaday alleged a "secret downgrade" in WattCycle's retail units. Prowse claimed that review samples featured braided cables and solid busbars, while units sold on Amazon used cheaper wiring. He told followers: "What you see is NOT what you get."
WattCycle issued an official response on June 11, admitting to production differences but calling them "routine and very minor manufacturing improvements." The company said it used both "flat braided copper" and "high-quality stranded copper" across different production runs. The controversy sparked a Reddit backlash, with some buyers saying they were "back to square one" in finding a reliable budget brand.
Rising Costs and a Battery Price War Push Industry to a Tipping Point
The 2026 battery market has shifted fast. After prices hit historic lows near $108 per kWh in late 2025, costs reversed hard. Zimbabwe imposed export restrictions on lithium ore, and major producer CATL suspended operations at several mines, squeezing supply. Finished battery packs now cost between $120 and $280 per kWh in 2026, up sharply from last year's lows, according to GlobeNewswire.
WattCycle currently prices its 12V 100Ah model at $0.15 per watt-hour, compared to rival Litime's $0.25 per watt-hour. Analysts say aggressive sales like Prime Day are meant to lock in customers before the market shifts toward solid-state and sodium-ion batteries, which are expected to begin reaching commercial scale by late 2026, according to StreetInsider.
