What is the LFP12S-230BHC?

The LFP12S-230BHC is a high-performance 230Ah 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, offering exceptional reliability, safety, and long service life in a space-efficient design. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, it features a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that actively monitors and protects the battery for safe and efficient operation.

Designed for convenient under-seat and floor mounting, this battery features a robust IP52 metal enclosure that provides excellent structural protection and durability. Its compact, space-efficient design makes it ideal for installations where available space is limited.

Built using premium Grade A EVE prismatic lithium cells, this battery delivers excellent reliability, consistent performance and long-term durability. These high-quality cells provide dependable energy storage, making it well-suited for demanding off-grid and energy storage applications.

Equipped with two RJ45 communication ports, the battery supports CAN and RS485 communication for integration with compatible inverters, chargers and monitoring equipment. It is also compatible with Victron GX devices, including the Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX and Nucleo GX, using the Victron CAN BMS protocol. This enables the battery's built-in BMS to communicate real-time operating information, including state of charge, temperature, cell voltages and charging limits, allowing connected systems to monitor battery performance and manage charging safely.

This model is fitted with integrated low-temperature heating pads that warm the battery in cold conditions, allowing it to maintain normal charging operation when ambient temperatures are low.

The integrated On/Off button allows the battery to be easily switched between normal operation and standby mode. When not in use, standby mode disables charging and discharging to help minimise power consumption. The battery can be conveniently switched back on by pressing and holding the button for 3–6 seconds.

Additionally, the LFP12S-230BHC includes Bluetooth connectivity via the JBD BMS app (available on IOS and Android), allowing users to monitor and manage battery performance in real time.

Key Benefits of the LFP12S-230BHC

• Long Cycle Life – Up to 4000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, significantly outlasting lead-acid alternatives.
• Enhanced Safety – The BMS protects against:
  • Overcharging
  • Over-discharging
  • Over-current
  • Over-temperature
• Fast Charging & Discharging – High efficiency reduces downtime.
• Lightweight Design – Much lighter than lead-acid batteries, making it easier to install and handle.
• Grade A EVE prismatic cells - Built using high-quality Grade A prismatic lithium cells manufactured by EVE Energy, offering reliable performance, consistent cell quality and excellent energy density for long-term battery storage applications.
• Under-seat IP52 metal case - Robust metal casing designed for under-seat and floor mounting, providing reliable protection and long-term durability.
• Victron GX compatibility - Supports communication with Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX and Nucleo GX devices via the Victron CAN BMS protocol.
• Integrated Low-Temperature Heating - When connected to an external power source (mains, solar, or vehicle engine), the built-in heating function automatically raises the battery temperature to allow safe charging and discharging.
• Integrated On/Off button - Easy switching between normal operation and standby mode. Standby mode disables charging and discharging to minimise power consumption when the battery is not in use.
• Environmentally Friendly – Non-toxic, with a lower environmental impact.
• Bluetooth Monitoring – Connects via the JBD BMS app, offering:
  • Real-time battery data: Remaining capacity, charge/discharge status, voltage, current, temperature, and individual cell voltage.
  • Historical dynamic graphs: Track battery performance trends over time.
  • Charge & discharge switch control: Manage charging and discharging remotely.
  • Automatic equalization: Ensures balanced cell performance.
  • Clear warnings & capacity reset: Helps maintain battery health.
  • Customisable settings: Rename the Bluetooth device and switch monitoring between multiple batteries.
