MORE CAPACITY SMALLER LIGHTER FOOTPRINT

Here at The 12 Volt Shop we offer a range of custom made Australian Designed and Engineered LiFePO4 Lithium Battery options. Our aim is to get the most capacity in the smallest area possible so we do not use the same footprint cases as existing Lead-Acid Batteries.

Take our 163SL LiFePO4 Slimline Lithium Battery for example, using a 100Ah AGM Battery footprint sitting at 395 x 110 x 286mm is a lot smaller than standard 150Ah batteries on the market which all use similar footprints at 551 x 110 x 240mm.

At 16Kg the 163SL is 1/3 of the weight of its AGM equivalent

The 12 Volt Shop range of LiFePO4 Batteries are equiped with Bluetooth BMS's so you can monitor your battery status from your Smart Phone or Device. Download the App on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store

INTEGRATED BMS AND SEPARATE ACTIVE BALANCER

The battery uses the latest Prismatic Cell design offering more resistance to vibrations and rough roads. It is supplied with a LiFePO4 Battery Management System BMS that can monitor and optimize each single prismatic cell during charge & discharge, to protect the battery pack from overcharge, over discharge & short circuit.

It also includes a 5A Active Balancer for greater cell balancing capabilities than the BMS is capable of. The BMS has cell balancing function with a 250mA Capacity, so the 5A balancer is 20 times more powerful than the BMS's internal balancing function to ensure your cells are never out of blance.

Overall, the BMS and Active Balancer helps to ensure safe and accurate operation of the battery.

PV Grade or Higher CALB Lithium 3.2v LFP Prismatic Cells

• Slimline Profile
• 163Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Battery
• 5 Year Warranty
• Grade A or Higher Cells
• Australian designed and engineered
• 3500 cycle life @ 100% Depth Of Discharge - at least 80% capacity remaining after*
• Max Inverter Size: 2000W

*There are many calims about high cycles and while they are true to some extent the are misleading. 3500 cycle life @ 100% Depth Of Discharge at 100% capacity. This equates to draining the battery 100% every day 3500 times, (around 10 years) youre left with around 80% capacity remaining after which will do another few thousand cycles. So while a battery will do 6000 cycles it wont do it at 100% capacity after its initial cycle life.
