135AH COLD CLIMATE LITHIUM (LIFEPO4) DEEP CYCLE BATTERY
W/BLUETOOTH

Our latest range of 135Ah lithium (LiFePO₄) deep-cycle batteries are the most reliable, technologically-advanced batteries we have ever manufactured. With Bluetooth® monitoring, outstanding performance characteristics and full international certification, you'll never be caught short of 12v power on your 4wding and camping adventures again! Best of all, we've packed 135Ah of usable power into a standard Group 27 (N70) size case, meaning they are compatible with standard-sized battery boxes and trays.

This model includes our latest innovation: the cells are wrapped in heating film, which is automatically switched on by the BMS when it detects the ambient temperature has dropped under 0°C. This means that, unlike other batteries on the market, you can continue to charge your battery even in freezing weather!

These batteries are made using best-in-class robotic manufacturing processes with rigorous quality assurance (including serialised tracking) and pre-shipment cycle testing. We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That's why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

In the past, people who went camping or 4wding in very cold weather knew to avoid charging their deep-cycle batteries if possible, and if they really needed to charge them, to do so at a much lower rate than normal.

All that has now changed with the introduction of our Cold Climate Lithium Batteries. These batteries contain a BMS-controlled heating film which will gently heat the cells when the battery detects the ambient temperature has dropped below 0°C, ensuring that the cells remain in the optimum charge temperature range. This means you can charge them as normal at ambient temperatures as low as -20°C.

The process is fully automatic, meaning you don't have to think about turning on and off the cell heating and can focus on having a good time instead!

Top-quality cells

Our 135AH deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

• UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
• UL 1642: Performance/quality testing to guard against risk of fire or explosion
• IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
• IEC 62619:2017: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
• CE: The batteries meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements

In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:

• ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
• ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

More usable power, longer life

When comparing batteries it is vitally important to understand the difference between nominal and C20 capacity. To reduce confusion and help to standardise the measurement of battery capacity, most reputable battery manufacturers will quote the capacity of their battery in amp-hours at C20 (also written as C/20), which means the number of amps the battery can deliver if discharged at a constant rate over a period of 20 hours. Using this standard, a fully-charged battery with a capacity of 100Ah could deliver 5A of current per hour for a period of 20 hours before becoming fully discharged (5A x 20h).

Some disreputable manufacturers, however, will advertise the nominal capacity of their batteries and bury the C20 rating in the fine print. Nominal capacity has no practical application and can be up to 20% higher than the C20 rating, so a battery that is advertised as a 120Ah battery might only be able to deliver 105Ah or even less.

We value our good reputation, and will always quote the C20 rating as the battery's capacity. This means you can be confident that the power we say our batteries can deliver is not inflated to mislead, create confusion or invite unfair comparisons.
