The LiFePO4 12.8V 100Ah Smart Battery (MPN BAT512110610) from Victron Energy is a latest generation LiFePO4 battery. When fully charged, the LiFePO4 12.8/100 Smart stores a whopping 1280Wh of electricity with a very low self-discharge and an outstanding service life. The LiFePO4 battery family from Victron already has integrated cell balancing and a BMS (Battery Management System) interface. The integrated Bluetooth for connection to the Li-Ion app completes the overall package.

Efficient, economical...: LiFePO4 12.8V 100Ah smart battery
Although LiFePO4 batteries are expensive compared to AGM batteries or GEL batteries, the higher purchase costs are more than worth it in most cases. With a service life of up to 5000 cycles, they exceed the maximum service life of even the best lead-acid batteries many times over. In addition, the LFP 12.8/100 scores 70% each in terms of space saving and weight saving. The energy utilization rate of 92% is also significantly higher than the 80% of lead-acid batteries, which can be of essential importance in off-grid systems, especially in grid-independent solar and/or wind turbines.
All-rounder: infinitely flexible with lithium technology from Victron Energy
LiFePO4 smart batteries from Victron can be implemented in almost all common applications. This technology has long played an important role in the mobile sector. But thanks to the fact that these batteries are much easier to charge than conventional lead-acid batteries and irregular charging cannot harm them, they are also making their way into land applications and can now be found in almost all system classes.
Parallel and series connection up to max. 3000AH at 48V
Thanks to the integrated cell balancing and cell monitoring function, you can easily connect up to 10 batteries of this type in parallel and up to 4 blocks of 10 in series, which results in a maximum of 3000Ah at 48V - this corresponds to a maximum storable nominal energy of around 154,000 Wh (when used with the 300Ah 12.8V version).
Integrated Bluetooth for smart handling
Cell voltages, temperature and alarm status can be monitored via Bluetooth. This is very useful for detecting a (possible) problem such as cell imbalance in a timely manner.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of an additional BMS is mandatory to interrupt the load when the voltage of a battery cell falls below 2.5V or to stop charging when the voltage of a battery cell rises above 4.2V and to shut down the system when the temperature of the cell exceeds 50°C.
You can choose between the BMS 12/200 and the VE.Bus BMS - for further details on the devices, please refer to the respective item descriptions.
