This agricultural battery project presents a reference 12.8V 100Ah LiFePO4 configuration for poultry-farm automation, control equipment and backup-power applications.
The final battery voltage, capacity, BMS current, enclosure and charging parameters are confirmed against the equipment load, installation space and operating environment before sample production.
Agricultural equipment may operate for long periods in dusty, humid or temperature-changing environments. The battery, enclosure, charger and connections must be selected for the actual equipment and installation conditions.
The project review covers:
The following configuration provides an initial reference for agricultural control equipment, automated feeding systems and backup-power applications. Final values are subject to equipment review, sample approval and testing.
| Battery chemistry | LiFePO4 |
|---|---|
| Nominal voltage | 12.8V |
| Rated capacity | 100Ah |
| Nominal energy | 1280Wh |
| Reference BMS rating | 100A continuous discharge |
| Reference continuous output | Up to 1280W at nominal voltage |
| Recommended charge current | 20A |
| Recommended charging voltage | 14.2V–14.6V |
| Charge method | CC/CV |
| Terminal options | M8 or project-specific terminals |
| Communication options | Bluetooth, CAN or RS485 where required |
| Enclosure and dimensions | Configured to the equipment compartment and environmental requirements |
Peak current, enclosure dimensions, protection rating, terminal layout and communication functions must be confirmed before the battery is approved for production.
A 12.8V 100Ah battery stores approximately 1280Wh of nominal energy. The estimates below use 80% of nominal energy to retain a practical reserve.
| Average Equipment Load | Estimated Runtime | Example Application |
|---|---|---|
| 100W | Approximately 10.2 hours | Monitoring and control equipment |
| 200W | Approximately 5.1 hours | Control systems and auxiliary loads |
| 400W | Approximately 2.6 hours | Intermittent motors and feeding equipment |
| 800W | Approximately 1.3 hours | Higher-power equipment within the approved BMS limit |
Estimated Runtime = Usable Battery Energy ÷ Average Equipment Load
These figures are engineering estimates rather than measured project results. Actual runtime depends on motor duty cycle, startup current, wiring losses, inverter efficiency, temperature, battery condition and the required reserve.
The final voltage, capacity, discharge current and mechanical layout are configured around the agricultural equipment. Enclosure dimensions, terminal positions, cable outlets and mounting points are confirmed before sample production.
Available project options include:
Enclosure protection and communication functions depend on the approved battery model and project specification.
Custom LiFePO4 batteries can be developed for agricultural and automated farming equipment, including:
Battery selection depends on the equipment voltage, motor or controller load, startup current, daily operating time and available charging energy.
LiFePO4 batteries can replace lead-acid batteries in many agricultural applications, but a successful conversion requires more than matching the system voltage.
The replacement review should include:
The existing charger can only be retained when its output voltage, current limit and charging profile are suitable for the approved LiFePO4 battery configuration.
The Smart BMS is configured according to the battery cells, charging limits, equipment current and operating environment.
Available protection and monitoring functions can include:
Bluetooth, CAN and RS485 are available options rather than standard features on every battery model. The required protocol and connected equipment must be confirmed before production.
The sample battery is checked against the approved electrical and mechanical specification before production approval.
Testing can include:
With more than 20 years of battery manufacturing experience, we support agricultural equipment manufacturers, automation integrators, battery brands and distributors from specification review and sample development through testing and volume production.

Battery capacity is based on the system voltage, average and peak current, required operating time, charging availability and installation space.
Yes, in many applications. The charger, controller, current requirements, battery dimensions, terminals, cables and operating temperature must be checked before replacement.
Yes. Enclosure dimensions, mounting points, terminal positions, cable outlets and connector layout can be reviewed for qualified OEM projects.
Selected battery systems can support CAN or RS485 communication. The controller model, communication protocol and message requirements must be confirmed before production.
The enclosure and installation must be selected for the actual environment. Required protection against dust, moisture, temperature and mechanical exposure should be confirmed during project review.
