The Yamaha 350Li personal underwater scooter is a fully equipped device for both professionals and recreational divers. This powerful machine with 350W of power will allow you to wade through underwater environments with a top speed of up to 6km/h. A simple change between 3 gears is essential to adapt the ride to the user's needs. Whether moving quickly to your next destination or slowly exploring the underwater world, the Yamaha 350Li will get you there. Built for saltwater, the easy buoyancy tuning allows you to focus on observing your surroundings rather than the difficult handling of the scooter.
Basic features of the 350Li:
- Ride time up to 75 minutes assuming normal use (up to approximately 30 minutes at continuous full speed)
- Reachable depth up to 40 m, top speed up to 6 km/h, three gears
- low battery indicator, uses advanced Lithium Ion battery with exchangeable battery, can be optionally equipped with 500W battery

LI-ION battery to power the scooter
Lithium ion batteries are the most powerful rechargeable batteries currently available for electronic user products. The battery technology used in Yamaha's Li-series underwater scooters is the same as that used in today's electric vehicles and delivers excellent performance, efficiency and endurance. Li-ion battery powered devices provide a high power-to-weight ratio compared to devices operating with Lead-Acid (lead acid) or Ni-MH batteries. They therefore have the particular advantage of being lighter and more powerful than other types of rechargeable batteries of the same size. Li-ion batteries are not a problem for air transport.
Another advantage of Li-ion batteries is that they do not have a memory effect (so there is no need to fully discharge them before recharging), a significant amount of charge remains in the battery even after a long period of time without charging (e.g. during storage) and they can handle many (hundreds) of charge and discharge cycles.
The Li-ion battery system of YAMAHA underwater scooters is compact and lightweight. The batteries can be easily removed for external charging or for battery replacement. Li-ion batteries are a greener option to other types of batteries and have twice the life of conventional batteries. Charging time is also significantly reduced with these batteries.
