PROPER POWER. SUPERIOR SAFETY.

Not all lithium chemistry is made equal and Voltanic batteries use the safest & greatest of them all – Lithium Iron Phosphate (aka LiFePO4). With its unmatched chemical stability and exceptional energy density, LiFePO4 sets the standard.

ADVANCED PROTECTION FEATURES

Our batteries come with an In-Built Battery Management System (BMS) which protects against overcharging, short-circuits, and temperature extremes giving you peace of mind  plus a long lasting battery.

DOUBLE THE POWER. HALF THE WEIGHT.

The Voltanic LiFePO4 battery delivers twice the energy of a standard leisure battery while being half the weight. Say goodbye to the heavy lifting of lead-acid batteries. With its compact design and 360-degree mounting flexibility, you can install it horizontally or vertically, making it perfect for tight spaces and any setup you need.

A DECADE OF POWER

Unlike lead-acid batteries that can only be discharged to 50% of their capacity, LiFePO4 technology safely delivers up to 100% Depth of Discharge (DoD), doubling your usable power. Voltanic battery cells can be charged and discharged over 6000 times at 50% DoD and around 4000 cycles at 70%

A 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 leisure battery gives you roughly 3600 usable watt-hours of energy (12V × 300Ah = 3600Wh). To figure out how long it will run for, simply add up the watts of all your devices and divide 3600 by that number.

General Guideline:

  • 100W usage (small TV, lights): ~36 hours
  • 200W usage (TV, laptop, lights): ~18 hours
  • 500W usage (small heater): ~7.2 hours
  • 1000W usage (microwave, kettle): ~3.6 hours

Remember: Actual runtime will vary based on temperature, battery age, and the type of devices being powered.

Using the Voltanic 200W Solar Panel as an example, the module itself generates around 10 amps per hour in peak sunlight. Since a 300Ah battery needs 300 amp-hours to charge fully, it would theoretically take 30 hours of perfect sunlight to charge it up. However, you typically only get 4-6 hours of good sun per day (in the spring & summer), so expect about 5-8 days for a full charge with a 200W panel.

General Guide:

  • Basic setup: 200W panel (~5-8 days to charge)
  • Better setup: 300W panel (~3-5 days to charge)
  • Optimal setup: 400W+ panel (~2-3 days to charge)

Remember: Always use an MPPT solar charge controller between your panels and battery to generate the most power and ensure efficient charging.

A typical 12V camping fridge uses around 2-4 amps per hour (24-48 watts) when the compressor is running. However, fridges don’t run constantly—they typically cycle on and off to maintain temperature, running about 30% of the time in normal conditions. This means they average 0.6-1.2 amps per hour (7-14 watts).

Runtime Guideline:

  • Average conditions: ~7-10 days runtime
  • Hot weather (more cycling): ~4-6 days runtime
  • If running constantly: ~60-90 hours

Remember: These are estimates—actual runtime depends on ambient temperature, how often you open the fridge, how full the fridge is, and the efficiency of your system.

The key factor to consider is your battery’s continuous discharge current rating. This is the amount of current (or amps) the battery can safely discharge continuously during daily use. Your 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 battery has a continuous discharge rating of 250A or 3000 Watts (250A × 12V = 3000W).

Therefore, you should not use devices that continuously draw more than 3000 watts, making a 3000W inverter perfect for your setup.

Note: You can technically use larger 4000-5000 watt inverters on your 12V 300Ah battery, as running an inverter at 50-60% capacity (rather than at full load) can actually extend its lifespan. Just remember to never exceed the continuous discharge current limit, or you risk reducing the lifespan of your battery and possibly damaging it.

Remember: Always choose a pure sine wave inverter for optimal performance.

Yes, most standard 12V lead-acid chargers can safely charge LiFePO4 batteries since they charge at similar voltages (around 14.4V). However, there are a few things to consider:

Good to know:

  • Lead-acid chargers typically charge at lower currents, so charging will be slower
  • You may not achieve 100% charge
  • Avoid chargers with “desulfation” or “recovery” modes that use high voltage

For best results:

  • Use a proper LiFePO4 charger for faster charging and optimal battery life
  • If using a lead-acid charger, make sure it doesn’t exceed 14.6V
  • Check that your charger doesn’t have aggressive equalization modes

 

Remember: While lead-acid chargers will work, a dedicated LiFePO4 charger is a better long-term investment for optimal battery performance and lifespan.

LiFePO4 batteries require a specific charging profile to ensure safe, efficient charging and maximum battery life. You have several charging options:

  1. LiFePO4 Battery Charger (Wall Outlet)
  2. Solar Panels
  3. Use a DC-DC charger designed for LiFePO4

Remember: Always match charging voltage (14.4V-14.6V)

Technically yes, a split charge relay could work to charge a LiFePO4 battery since alternators typically output 14.4V, which is within LiFePO4’s charging voltage range. However, it’s not recommended because:

  • Alternator voltage can spike and fluctuate (especially in modern vehicles)
  • No protection against overcharging
  • No temperature monitoring
  • Could potentially void battery warranty
  • May cause premature battery wear

Better solution:

  • Use a DC-to-DC charger designed for LiFePO4
  • Provides proper voltage regulation
  • Includes safety features and proper charging profile

While a split charge relay might work in a pinch, investing in a proper DC-to-DC charger will protect your battery investment and ensure safe, efficient charging.
