Description
Same footprint as the 200 Ah Smart (321 x 152 mm, 237 mm tall) and 2 kg lighter, at 18 kg. It suits a 12 V cruiser or RV that runs a fridge, lights and a small inverter. Example, our math: 80% of 180 Ah is 144 Ah, so a 6 A average load runs about 24 hours.
Plan for the BMS. This battery has cell balancing and monitoring built in, but it has to be wired to a Victron BMS, sold separately (smallBMS, VE.Bus BMS V2 or Lynx Smart BMS, for example). Victron says using it without a Victron-approved BMS voids the warranty.
Up to 20 batteries can share one BMS, in series, parallel or both, for 12, 24 or 48 V banks.
Good fit if: Your 12 V cruiser or RV runs a fridge, lights and a small inverter, and you’ll wire in a Victron BMS.
Not the pick if: You want the BMS inside the battery: get the SuperPack NG 12.8V 200Ah.
