Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/200Ah Smart (BAT512120610)

Product Information

When it comes to Victron energy, we are able to provide you with a wide range of trip energy efficiency discharge batteries, lead-acid batteries are the perfect option for solar and or wind, working with LFP is the safest option for several days of reserve. An LFP battery will still have some wear and tear over the years but the efficiency of an LFP is the safest of the mainstream batteries available on the market today. Lifepo4 battery 128v 200ah batteries come with a range of systems in place, these are as follows;
– With integrated cell balancing
– Can be parallel and series connected
– Bluetooth app available to monitor cell voltage and temperature

Why lithium-iron-phosphate?

Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/200Ah Smart. Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) is the safest of the mainstream li-ion battery types. The nominal voltage of an LFP cell is 3,2V (lead-acid: 2V/cell). A 12,8V LFP battery, therefore, consists of 4 cells connected in series, and a 25,6V battery consists of 8 cells connected in series.

Victron Energy Lead Acid Battery

A lead-acid battery will fail prematurely due to sulfation:
– If it operates in deficit mode during long periods of time (i.e. if the battery is rarely, or never at all, fully charged)
– If it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime)
An LFP battery does not need to be fully charged. Service life even slightly improves in the case of partial charge instead of a full charge. This is a major advantage of LFP compared to lead-acid.
Other advantages are the wide operating temperature range, excellent cycling performance, low internal resistance, and high efficiency (see below). LFP is therefore the chemistry of choice for very demanding applications. To find out more, click here.

Victron Lifepo4 Battery Efficiency

In several applications (especially off-grid solar and/or wind), energy efficiency can be of crucial importance. The round trip energy efficiency (discharge from 100% to 0% and back to 100% charged) of the average lead-acid battery is 80%. The round trip energy efficiency of an LFP battery is 92%. The charge process of lead-acid batteries becomes particularly inefficient when the 80% state of charge has been reached, resulting in efficiencies of 50% or even less in solar systems where several days of reserve energy is required (battery operating in 70% to 100% charged state). In contrast, an LFP battery will still achieve 90% efficiency under shallow discharge conditions. Size and weight Save up to 70% in space Save up to 70% in weight.
Expensive? LFP batteries are expensive when compared to lead-acid. But in demanding applications, the high initial cost will be more than compensated by longer service life, superior reliability and excellent efficiency. Check out our homepage for more information.

Bluetooth

With Bluetooth cell voltages, temperature and alarm status can be monitored. Very useful to localise a (potential) problem, such as cell imbalance. With Bluetooth cell voltages, temperature and alarm status can be monitored. Very useful to localise a (potential) problem, such as cell imbalance. Having a Victron lifepo4 battery allows you to view all the cells connected in series and whether they are working at full capacity, the charging power and the general overall health of the battery.
