Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12.8V 200Ah Smart | BAT512120610

The Victron LiFePO4 Battery 12.8V 200Ah Smart is a lithium iron phosphate drop-in battery for solar, off-grid, marine and vehicle systems. It offers 200Ah of capacity at 12.8V nominal voltage, giving 2.56kWh of stored energy per unit, and includes an integrated Bluetooth module for monitoring via the Victron Connect app.

Key features of this victron lifepo4 battery

• Voltage and capacity, 12.8V nominal with 200Ah, equal to 2.56kWh of stored energy per unit.
• Chemistry, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells.
• Bluetooth monitoring, integrated Bluetooth module works with the Victron Connect app for state of charge, voltage, current and temperature data.
• Built-in BMS, manages cell balancing along with over-charge, over-discharge, short circuit and over-temperature protection.
• Weight, 19.5kg.
• Bank building, designed for series and parallel connection to build larger battery banks.

Product overview

The onboard BMS handles cell-level protection on its own and can communicate with compatible Victron chargers and inverter-chargers over VE.Bus or VE.Direct, allowing coordinated charge management across a system. The Smart designation refers to the built-in Bluetooth interface, which lets an installer or owner read live data and review logs through the Victron Connect app without wiring in a separate display or shunt. That is useful during commissioning, and for checking on marine or vehicle installations where the battery itself is hard to reach.

When wiring several units together in series or parallel, Victron's published guidance on battery bank configuration should be followed so charging stays balanced and the BMS operates correctly.

Applications

• Off-grid solar storage systems.
• Marine and narrowboat house battery banks.
• Motorhome, campervan and vehicle leisure battery installations.
• Backup power for telecoms, security and other critical equipment.
• Expanding existing Victron 12V battery banks in parallel.
• Mobile and portable power stations needing a 12V lithium source.

Installation notes

Fit this battery with a qualified electrician or an installer experienced with lithium systems. The internal BMS protects at cell level, but correct fusing, cabling and charge source setup remain the installer's responsibility. Any connected charger, solar charge controller or inverter-charger needs to be set to a lithium profile suited to 12.8V LiFePO4 chemistry.
