The nominal voltage of a LFP cell is 3,2V (lead-acid: 2V\/cell). A 12,8V LFP battery therefore consists of 4 cells connected in series, and a 25,6V battery consists of 8 cells connected in series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize and weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaves up to 70% in space\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaves up to 70% in weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpensive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLFP batteries are expensive when compared to lead-acid. But in demanding applications, the high initial cost will be more than compensated by longer service life, superior reliability, and excellent efficiency\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Bluetooth, the cell voltages, temperature, and alarm status can be monitored which can be very useful for localizing a (potential) problem, such as cell imbalance. The Bluetooth feature allows monitoring cell voltages, temperature, and alarm status Up to 5 batteries can be paralleled or four 12V batteries series connected so that a 48V battery bank of up to 1200Ah can be assembled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEfficient\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn several applications (especially off-grid solar and\/or wind), energy efficiency can be of crucial importance. The round-trip energy efficiency (discharge from 100% to 0% and back to 100% charged) of the average lead acid battery is 80%. The round-trip energy efficiency of a LFP battery is 92%. The charge process of lead-acid batteries becomes particularly inefficient when the 80% state of charge has been reached, resulting in efficiencies of 50% or even less in solar systems where several days of reserve energy is required (battery operating in 70% to 100% charged state). In contrast, an LFP battery will still achieve 90% efficiency under shallow discharge conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Dangerous Goods**Pick Up Only**Core Charges will apply*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607353966821,"sku":"Sku 094915","price":1040.64,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6495\/0501\/files\/LiFePO4_Battery.jpg?v=1777119268","url":"https:\/\/www.stevestonmarine.com\/products\/victron-lifepo4-battery-12-8v-180ah-smart-bat512118610","provider":"Steveston Marine and Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
