12v 280ah Seatbase lithium battery
One of the unique features of the SMARTCOMM SERIES is the latest onboard safety mechanism, which protects the battery and upstream connected electronics from dangerous arcs and sparks caused by powerful inrush currents when connecting to high-powered inverters. This 280Ah Seatbase battery, equipped with an advanced proprietary 250A BMS, which has the capability to run any household appliance up to 3200W when connected to a capable inverter, allowing you operate a ‘GASLESS’ system with plenty of spare capacity.
The SMARTCOMM SERIES from LithiumPro offers seamless Plug & Play integration via CANBus, allowing these batteries to communicate effortlessly with inverters, chargers, VictronGX, Ekrano, and any NMEA2000 compliant head unit, including CZONE, SIMRAD, and RAYMARINE. This enables the sharing of live system data for optimal performance and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
This battery is a genuine ‘PLUG & PLAY’ direct replacement for your lead-acid battery. If your motorhome or caravan has a lead-acid (CCCV) Constant Current Constant Voltage based charger that charges between 14.2v -14.6v you can install this battery and it will charge just fine, without the need to fit any other components. It will fit in exactly the same place as your old 95-110ah Lead acid battery and will charge using your existing CCCV charger.
Of course, should you wish to upgrade to a more powerful, dedicated lithium charger with a LiFePO4 profile, it will charge much faster and more efficiently, but it is NOT a requirement with our batteries. See here for dedicated lithium chargers.
This state-of-the-art lithium battery is part of a new range from Lithium Pro Energy called SMARTCOMM SERIES offering market-leading features embedded within the battery as standard.
One of the many unique features of the SMARTCOMM SERIES is the latest onboard safety mechanism, which protects the battery and connected electronics from dangerous arcs and sparks caused by powerful inrush currents when connecting to high-powered inverters. This powerful 280ah Seat base battery, is equipped with an advanced proprietary 250A BMS, which has the capability to run any household appliance up to 3200W continuously when connected to a capable inverter, allowing you to run high powered devices from a single lithium battery, saving the need to purchase two lithium batteries.
