Lithium-ion batteries command several advantages over traditional lead-acid ones: in particular, on average, you can save up to 70% in space and weight. The high initial cost is easily compensated by a longer service life, superior reliability, and excellent efficiency.
Lead-acid batteries may fail prematurely due to operating in deficit mode (rarely or never fully charged) or if left partially charged or fully discharged. A lithium-ion battery does not need to be fully charged, with service life even slightly improved by partial charge.
The round trip energy efficiency is 92% (discharged from 100% to 0% and recharged to 100%) compared to 80% for an average lead-acid battery.
Key Features:
- Integrated Shunt - the battery data are transmitted to the BMS and evaluated there, i.e. to calculate the state of charge, which can be read out via VictronConnect or a GX commuication centre.
- Automatic setup, monitoring and control via VictronConnect App or a GX device and the VRM portal.
- Easy Bracket Mounting - brackets make it easier to optimally secure battery.
- Increased ingress protection (IP-rating)
- Low self-discharge rate - this is now a maximum of 2% of the battery capacity per month.
