Description
The biggest 12 V Smart battery we list, for a liveaboard boat or a full-time van. Example, our math: 160 Ah usable at 80%. A 1,000 W inverter load pulls about 85 A at 12.8 V (allowing 92% inverter efficiency), so you get roughly 1.9 hours of steady use.
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: You live aboard or run a full-time van on 12 V, want 200 Ah per battery, and have a Victron BMS in the system.
Not the pick if: Your battery sits in a wet spot: this one is IP22, so get the Lithium NG 12.8V 200Ah (IP65), which needs a Victron NG BMS.
