LiFePo4 200Ah Lithium Battery 12.8V

DescriptionIf using more than one of these batteries you MUST use a battery balancerDo not connect smart (with Bluetooth) and non-smart lithium battery packs in series or parallel as this will invalidate the warranty. They must all be of the same typeEnergiestor LiFePO4 12V 200Ah Lithium Battery offers superior energy storage performance in heavy-duty applications like solar systems, RVs, marine application, and off-grid power systems. Constructed from the latest Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 battery offers high capacity, excellent safety features, and an ultra-high lifespan in a light, compact size.If using more than one of these batteries, a battery balancer must be used. Smart (Bluetooth) and non-smart lithium batteries should not be connected together in series or parallel, as this will invalidate the warranty. All batteries must be of the same type and capacity.Advantages of Energiestor LiFePO4 BatteriesEnergiestor lithium batteries provide twice the usable energy of comparable lead-acid batteries while weighing only half as much. With a design life of up to 15 years and the ability to achieve up to 5,000 cycles at 50% Depth of Discharge (DOD) or 3,000 cycles at 80% DOD, the LiFePO4 12V 200Ah battery outperforms traditional battery technology in every respect.LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is recognised as the safest lithium chemistry. Each 200Ah LiFePO4 battery is tested to meet UN38.3 certification, passing all required safety assessments, including altitude, vibration, shock, short circuit, crush, and overcharge tests.Energiestor batteries can be discharged to 100% DOD, providing twice the usable power of lead-acid batteries, which typically allow only 30–50% discharge. For instance, a 100Ah lead-acid battery offers around 625Wh before risking damage, whereas an Energiestor 100Ah LiFePO4 battery can provide up to 1,152Wh at 90% discharge. The same principle applies to the high-capacity 200Ah model, offering efficient, dependable power for extended use.In-Built Safety and Battery ManagementEvery 200Ah LiFePO4 rechargeable battery includes an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) that protects against over-charging, over-discharging, overcurrent, and short circuits. The BMS also balances cells internally, ensuring a long cycle life and maximum safety.Although the batteries are compatible with most lead-acid chargers, a dedicated lithium charger is recommended for optimal performance and longevity.The Deep Cycle 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery can be installed in any position, including upside down, provided the terminals are properly covered. With no acid spillage or explosive gas venting, ventilation is unnecessary, making installation simple and flexible.Energiestor lithium batteries can be connected in series or parallel, similar to lead-acid batteries. Up to eight LiFePO4 200Ah 12.8V batteries can be connected in series to create an 800Ah bank. Series connections (e.g., 24V or 48V) are also possible when proper battery balancing is maintained.Disadvantages of Lead-Acid BatteriesLead-acid batteries are outdated, heavy, and inefficient. They produce explosive gases during charging, require ventilation, and pose safety risks due to acid leakage. With limited usable capacity (30–50% DOD), short cycle life (200–500 cycles), and poor charging efficiency – losing up to 15% of input energy – they no longer meet modern energy storage needs.In contrast, the Energiestor 200Ah lithium battery eliminates these drawbacks. It features fast charging, deeper discharge capability, higher efficiency, and completely maintenance-free operation. There are no acids, fumes, or safety hazards – only clean, dependable energy.Battery Terminology and PerformanceDepth of Discharge (DOD): The portion of the battery’s capacity used per cycle. Lower DOD (30–50%) increases lifespan, while higher DOD (80–100%) provides more usable energy but fewer total cycles.Cycle Life: One full charge and discharge equals one cycle. Energiestor LiFePO4 batteries deliver 2,000–5,000 cycles, far exceeding lead-acid alternatives.Amp-Hours (Ah): A 200Ah battery can supply 10 amps for 20 hours or 20 amps for 10 hours.Watt-Hours (Wh): Voltage × Capacity = 12.8V × 200Ah = 2,560Wh total energy.Energiestor batteries are fully compatible with solar charging systems, provided that the maximum charge and discharge currents are observed. For greater current output, multiple units can be connected in parallel, for example, two 100Ah units in parallel provide a 200A continuous discharge rate or a 400A surge for short durations.
