12V 100Ah Group 31 LiFePO4 Battery
The Group 31 battery combines 1,280Wh of deep-cycle energy with Bluetooth, CAN and RS485 communication.
CAN Communication for Compatible Victron Systems
The battery uses CAN communication to exchange operating information with a compatible Victron-based system. When the correct communication protocol, cable, firmware and system settings are used, connected equipment can receive battery data and respond to the permitted charging and discharging limits.
Available system information may include:
Battery state of charge
Battery voltage and current
Battery and cell temperature
Permitted charge and discharge limits
Warning and protection status
Battery-bank operating information
Compatibility must be confirmed against the Victron GX device, inverter-charger, firmware version, battery protocol and communication-cable pinout used in the project.
This is an independently manufactured LiFePO4 battery designed for compatible Victron-based systems. It is not manufactured, supplied or endorsed by Victron Energy.
Victron Communication System Requirements
Battery with the confirmed CAN communication protocol
Compatible Victron GX communication device
Correct CAN communication cable and pinout
Compatible inverter-charger or charging equipment
Correct CAN-bus and battery settings
Compatible firmware versions
Proper DC fuse, disconnect switch, busbars and cable sizing
Do not use an ordinary Ethernet cable unless its pinout and communication standard have been confirmed for both the battery and connected equipment.
LiFePO4 Battery Communication with a Victron-Based System
CAN communication connects the battery with compatible Victron-based monitoring and power systems.
Bluetooth Battery Monitoring
Bluetooth monitoring gives RV owners, marine installers and service engineers direct access to battery information during system checks and routine maintenance.
Depending on the confirmed BMS and application version, the mobile interface may display:
State of charge
Total battery voltage
Charge or discharge current
Power
Battery temperature
Cycle count
Charging and discharging status
Warning and protection status
Bluetooth range, mobile operating-system requirements and remote-control functions depend on the BMS hardware, firmware and application version supplied with the battery.

The battery supports up to 100A continuous discharge and 1,280W of continuous output at nominal voltage. Inverters, fuses, cables, busbars and disconnect devices must remain within the battery and BMS ratings.
12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery BMS Testing
The 100A Smart BMS monitors current, voltage, temperature and cell operating conditions.
Low-Temperature Charging Protection
This model includes low-temperature protection but does not include self-heating.
When the cell temperature falls below 0°C, the BMS stops charging to help prevent cold-temperature cell damage. Charging becomes available again when the cell temperature reaches approximately 5°C.
Automatic charge cut-off: Below 0°C / 32°F
Automatic charge recovery: At or above 5°C / 41°F
Automatic discharge cut-off: Below −20°C / −4°F
Install the battery inside a dry, ventilated and securely mounted compartment. Low-temperature charging protection should not be described as self-heating.
12V LiFePO4 Battery Low-Temperature Protection
Low-temperature protection pauses charging below 0°C to help protect the battery cells.
Group 31 Lead-Acid Battery Replacement
The Group 31 enclosure makes this 12V 100Ah lithium battery suitable for selected lead-acid and AGM replacement projects. Before installing it in an existing system, confirm:
Nominal system voltage
Battery-compartment dimensions
Terminal position and M8 connection requirements
Charger and inverter compatibility
Maximum continuous and surge current
Fuse and cable ratings
Required operating temperature
Communication equipment and protocol
Changing from lead-acid to LiFePO4 may require a compatible charging profile, DC-to-DC charger or changes to the battery-monitoring configuration.

12V LiFePO4 RV Battery Installation
This 12V 100Ah deep-cycle battery can provide house power for compatible RVs, camper vans and mobile electrical systems. A safe installation should include correctly sized cables, a main fuse, battery disconnect switch and separate positive and negative busbars.
Positive circuit:
Battery Positive → Main Fuse → Battery Disconnect Switch → Positive Busbar → Inverter / DC Distribution
Negative circuit:
Battery Negative → Battery Monitor Shunt, when required → Negative Busbar → Inverter / DC Loads
If battery data is sent directly to a compatible Victron GX system through CAN communication, confirm whether the installation still requires a separate battery-monitor shunt.

A protected RV installation uses a main fuse, disconnect switch and separate positive and negative busbars.
12V LiFePO4 Marine House Battery Installation
The battery can supply compatible marine house-power and trolling-motor systems when installed inside a dry internal battery compartment. Use a corrosion-resistant tray, secure mounting system, protected terminals and marine-grade cables.
Install the battery inside a dry and ventilated compartment
Use a corrosion-resistant tray and low-profile mounting system
Install the main fuse close to the positive terminal
Use a battery disconnect switch
Keep positive and negative busbars separate
Protect both battery terminals
Keep electrical connections away from seawater and standing water
Confirm communication compatibility before connecting marine displays
This is a deep-cycle battery. Do not use it as an engine-starting battery unless the required starting-current performance has been tested and approved for the engine.
12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Marine Battery in a Dry Compartment
The battery is secured inside a dry marine compartment with protected terminals and correctly routed cables.
Series and Parallel Battery Expansion
When active communication is not being used, the reference configuration supports up to four batteries in series and four batteries in parallel, subject to the battery manual and confirmed BMS configuration.
4S: 51.2V 100Ah / 5.12kWh
4P: 12.8V 400Ah / 5.12kWh
4S4P: 51.2V 400Ah / 20.48kWh
Only connect batteries of the same model, capacity, BMS version, firmware revision and state of charge. Parallel branches should use equal-length cables and appropriate branch protection.
Compatible LiFePO4 Charging Methods
The battery uses a CC/CV charging profile with a reference charging voltage of 14.4V ± 0.2V and a recommended charging current of 20A.
LiFePO4 AC charger: Use a charger with a compatible lithium charging profile.
Solar charging: Connect the solar array through a compatible MPPT charge controller.
Alternator charging: Use a correctly sized DC-to-DC charger where required.
Generator charging: Connect through a compatible inverter-charger or LiFePO4 charger.
Do not connect an alternator, generator or solar panel directly to the battery without appropriate charging equipment.
