Delivery in 10-20 days!

Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, ABS case, IP55

Attention: 5-Year WARRANTY

Starter batteries do NOT carry an 11-year warranty like our other batteries. In this case, the warranty is 5 YEARS.

    🚗 The lithium iron phosphate battery designed for starting and traction, the most technologically advanced and reliable on the market

    • Cold cranking current 600-2200A CCA | To cover every need ​🚛​
    • Overvoltage  15.6V | LiFePO4 battery BMS units usually have an overvoltage of 14.8V, making them incompatible with some alternators and chargers 🔝​
    • Compatible with EURO 6 Start & Stop engines 💚​
    • Active BMS: LiFePO4 batteries with a passive BMS don't last long when frequently subjected to intense discharges, such as starting an engine. The active BMS keeps the cells balanced 🧮​
    • Heated: starts from -20°C 🥶
    • Operates up to +90°C 🥵
    • Deep discharge protection: cut-off voltage at 8-11V
    • Accepted charging profiles: CCCV / IU / IUoU / lead-acid / AGM / Gel


     

    Who do we recommend a lithium starter battery for?

    • those who want more lightness, such as race cars or racing boats
    • those who, for one reason or another (cold, a car left idle, etc.), are forced to replace their starter battery every 1-2 years
    • those who want the most reliable technology on the market — who can't afford to be stranded, such as professionals or boat owners. 
    • those who own display/collector cars that sit unused for long periods and must be kept on a charger to avoid damaging a lead-acid battery. A lithium battery, with no self-discharge, can last over 5 years. In the worst case it therefore only needs recharging every 3-4 years

    For a cheaper solution, you can also consider a Supercapacitor in parallel with the lead-acid starter battery. You can see it BY CLICKING HERE.

      THE ADVANTAGES OF LiFePO4 BATTERIES

      Lithium batteries are NOT all the same. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LFP or LiFePO4) are used today even in our own homes because they combine safety and durability.

      • Last longer

        They still have 80% of rated capacity after more than 2000 cycles. Lead-acid batteries only manage 300/500 cycles.

      • 100% D.O.D.

        100% depth of discharge (lead-acid batteries only 30/40%). A 50Ah lithium battery can replace a 100Ah lead-acid battery.

        Common myth: do not worry about discharging it completely, it will not be damaged right away. You always have a couple of months to recharge it.

      • Safety

        Built-in BMS. Protection against short-circuit, voltage, charge and discharge current, temperature, automatic balancing. LiFePO4 batteries do not explode and do not catch fire.

      • Price

        After replacing lead-acid batteries just once, you will have already spent more than a lithium battery costs. The cost per kWh for our LiFePO4 battery is €0.12, versus €0.80 for lead-acid batteries. Read the dedicated article by clicking here.

      • Weight and size

        A 12V 100Ah lead-acid battery weighs over 30 kg. Our 12V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery weighs only 11 kg!

      • High performance

        They keep a constant voltage above 13V. This allows high current draws to be sustained for a long time.

      • Low self-discharge

        With no load connected, self-discharge is under 3% per month. Unlike lead-acid batteries, they do NOT need to be kept fully charged at all times. During periods of inactivity, manually disconnect the cables from the battery terminals, or use a BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH.

      • Respect for the environment

        No internal gas, gel, or liquid. Releases no metallic or toxic substance into the environment.

      • Zero maintenance

        They require no maintenance. They do NOT need periodic equalization and desulfation cycles like lead-acid batteries.
        Use a battery disconnect switch.
      • Other Advantages
        99% efficiency and low resistance.
      • They charge faster.
      • No memory effect: charge them whenever you want.

      APPLICATIONS

      • Motorhome & Boat Leisure Battery

        You can use the battery's full capacity and recharge it quickly.

        You'll feel more like you're at home. Go ahead and use the air conditioner, water heater, induction hob, coffee machine, hair dryer... You can power a diesel heater, fridge, lights and all the essential loads, charge your PC, smartphone, e-bike — it won't be a problem anymore, you'll have energy to spare!
