"Why buy Victron from Canadian Solar Wholesale?With the IPS company group, we buy directly from Victron Energy. Our warehouse is the only authorized Victron warranty and repair center in Western Canada.Victron Energy LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/160Ah SmartThe Victron Energy LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/160Ah Smart is extraordinarily high-performance batteries. It needs to be used in conjunction with the Victron BMS control system. Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 battery or LFP) is the safest of the mainstream li-ion battery types.

The nominal voltage of a LFP cell is 3,2V (lead-acid: 2V/cell). A 12,8V LFP battery therefore consists of 4 cells connected in series; and a 25,6V battery consists of 8 cells connected in series.RuggedLead-acid batteries will fail prematurely due to sulfation:• If it operates in deficit mode during long periods of time (i.e. if the battery is rarely, or never at all, fully charged).• If it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime).LFP batteries do not need to be fully charged. Service life even slightly improves in case of partial charge instead of a full charge. This is a major advantage of LFP compared to lead-acid. Other advantages are the wide operating temperature range, excellent cycling performance, low internal resistance and high efficiency (see below). LFP is therefore the chemistry of choice for very demanding applications.EfficientIn several applications (especially off-grid solar and/or wind), energy efficiency can be of crucial importance. The round trip energy efficiency (discharge from 100% to 0% and back to 100% charged) of the average leadacid battery is 80%. The round trip energy efficiency of a LFP battery is 92%. The charge process of lead-acid batteries becomes particularly inefficient when the 80% state of charge has been reached, resulting in efficiencies of 50% or even less in solar systems where several days of reserve energy is required (battery operating in 70% to 100% charged state). In contrast, a LFP battery will still achieve 90% efficiency under shallow discharge conditions.Size and weightSaves up to 70% in space Saves up to 70% in weightExpensive?LFP batteries are expensive when compared to lead-acid. But in demanding applications, the high initial cost will be more than compensated by longer service life, superior reliability and excellent efficiency.BluetoothWith Bluetooth cell voltages, temperature and alarm status can be monitored. Very useful to localize a (potential) problem, such as cell imbalance.Read the Datasheet for the Victron Energy LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/160Ah Smart (PDF)"
