The Iron Current is a 12V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) deep-cycle battery. It comes in 100Ah, 200Ah and 300Ah capacities. It is intended for solar storage, RV and camper systems, marine use, off-grid cabins, UPS backup and electric trolling motors.
Each battery uses Grade A prismatic cells with laser-welded busbars, in a sealed ABS case with IP65 dust and water resistance. An integrated battery management system (BMS) protects against over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit and temperature extremes. It stops charging below 0°C to prevent lithium plating, and discharge continues down to -20°C.
Up to 4 units can be wired in series for a 48V nominal bank, or up to 4 in parallel for more capacity at 12V. Charge all batteries to the same state of charge before connecting them. Standard 12V pure sine wave inverters work with this battery, and no special inverter is needed.
