WHY LITHIUM?
Lithium batteries provide far greater useable amp hours than their lead-acid counterparts. Unlike lead-acid lithium batteries can be deeply discharged without affecting the cycle life. This means you can use the battery for longer before having to recharge. In comparison, AGM batteries are generally recommended to only be discharged to 50% of their capacity to maximize their cycle life whereas lithium can generally be discharged to 80-90% of the capacity.
COST
While the initial investment of a lithium battery is more than lead-acid the service/cycle life of lithium is far superior. Typically lead-acid batteries have a service life of 300-900 cycles whereas Lithium has a cycle life of 2000+ cycles at a much higher discharge. That being said you would expect to replace your lead acid battery 2 or 3 times in comparison to replacing 1 Lithium battery.
Twin 120A Anderson Style Connectors
The TVD-LBS100 is equipped with twin 120A Anderson Style Connectors. Both of these can be used for high current charging and discharging. This also allows the battery to be easily removed and relocated if being used in different applications.
**Please note that the batteries are equipped with grey plugs & not blue as seen in the picture.**
Included Mounting Brackets
The TVD-LBS100 comes complete with an assortment of straight and right-angle mounting brackets and screws to allow for easy fitment. Unlike other solutions on the market, our slimline batteries have existing mounting points so there is no need to drill out rivets to install the brackets.
Longer life
Lithium batteries are rated for 2,000 – 5,000 cycles and much more if used carefully, giving you several times the life expectancy of standard lead-acid batteries
Powerful
Lithium batteries allow you to pull far more amps out of the same size battery systems
Light-weight
Lithium batteries are less than half the weight of the equivalent lead-acid battery.
Fast recharge
Lithium batteries charge more efficiently and don’t require as many stages during charging. Therefore, they will charge faster, and hold more of the energy from solar panels and other charging devices.
Lithium v AGM Capacities
100Ah Lithium = 160Ah AGM
125Ah Lithium = 200Ah AGM
200Ah Lithium = 320Ah AGM
300Ah Lithium = 480Ah AGM
(Based on standard depth of discharge for both Lithium (80%) and AGM (50%).
The 12 Volt Direct Difference
Deep cycle batteries may appear similar on the outside but don't be fooled, there are key differences between low-quality offerings often found on online auction sites and 12 Volt Direct's premium quality offerings.
Prismatic Cells
The TVD-LBS100 is four high-quality 3.2 volt 100AH prismatic cells connected in series. Prismatic cells provide superior performance than their cheaper cylindrical cell counterparts as they are more stable and shock-resistant.
Built-in Battery Management System (BMS)
The TVD-LBS100 is equipped with an advanced internal Battery Management System. This monitors and optimizes each Prismatic cell within the battery. It will protect the battery pack from over charge, over discharge, over temperature & short circuit. The BMS helps to ensure safe and accurate operation of the battery.
Fits where other batteries cant
Suited for custom installations our TVD-LBS100 can fit where others simply can't. This image shows a custom install behind the rear quarter panel of a 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser. Credit to Authorised Reseller Advanced Installation Service for this awesome install.
Built-in Volt Meter
The TVD-LBS100 features an LCD screen on the top of the battery to allow you to easily see your battery level of charge at any point in time. The screen is backlit to allow for ease of use whether it's day or night.
