Victron Energy – 12V/300Ah Lithium LiFePO4 NG Battery | BAT512130620

The Victron Energy Lithium NG LFP-12.8/300 is a 12.8V 300Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4/LFP) battery with 3840Wh of nominal energy. It features an integrated shunt, cell balancing and cell monitoring, allowing battery voltage, current and temperature data to be transmitted to the required BMS for state-of-charge calculation, monitoring, warnings and alarms.

The Lithium NG series is designed for use with the Lynx Smart BMS NG 500A or 1000A with M10 busbars, which must be purchased separately. Battery monitoring and control can be performed through VictronConnect, a GX communication centre or the VRM Portal. The BMS automatically manages battery parameters, detects system configuration and updates battery firmware.
