Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12.8V/180Ah Smart

The Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12.8V/180Ah Smart is a high-performance Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, designed for use in a variety of demanding applications. This battery is part of Victron Energy's Lithium Battery Smart series, known for its efficiency, durability, and advanced technology.

Key Features:

• Advanced Chemistry:

  LiFePO4 offers advantages over lead-acid batteries, including improved cycle life and efficiency, particularly in deficit mode operations.

• Efficient Energy Use:

  Exhibits a high round-trip energy efficiency of 92%, significantly more efficient than lead-acid batteries.

• Size and Weight Advantages:

  Up to 70% savings in space and weight, making it ideal for applications where space and weight are critical factors.

• Integrated Cell Balancing:

  Ensures long service life and consistent performance.

• Bluetooth Monitoring:

  Allows for monitoring of cell voltages and temperature via a Bluetooth app.

• Flexible Connectivity:

  Can be connected in parallel, series, and series/parallel configurations for larger systems.

Victron Smart Lithium Battery range requires one of these BMS-es:

• VE.Bus BMS - recommended for systems with Victron inverter/chargers.
• miniBMS - recommended for use in small systems. 
• Smart BMS CL 12/100 - recommended for use in Automotive and Marine systems having DC-loads and Alternators.
• Lynx Smart BMS - recommended for use in large systems.

Battery Management System (BMS) Integration:

The Victron LiFePO4 Battery requires a BMS for optimal performance and safety. The BMS provides critical protections, such as:

1. Pre-alarms for low cell voltage.
2. Load disconnect on further voltage drop.
3. Charging stop on high cell voltage or abnormal temperatures.

Applications and Compatibility:

• Voltage Range: Available in 12.8V and 25.6V, suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V systems.
• Series/Parallel Configuration: Allows up to 20 batteries in one system for extensive energy storage options.
• Versatility: Ideal for use in solar, wind, marine, and other off-grid applications.

Why Choose LiFePO4 over Lead-Acid?

• Durability: Less susceptible to sulfation, offering longer service life.
• Partial Charge Tolerance: Improved performance even when not fully charged.
• Operational Efficiency: Maintains high efficiency even under shallow discharge conditions.

Bluetooth Functionality:

• Real-Time Monitoring: Instantly check cell voltages and temperature status.
• App Integration: VictronConnect App provides essential data and diagnostic tools.
