It includes integrated Bluetooth monitoring via the VictronConnect app, making it suitable for professional installations where remote state-of-charge visibility is required without additional monitoring hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry provides a stable, thermally safe cell type well suited to cyclic applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows direct connection to the VictronConnect app for real-time voltage, current, state-of-charge and temperature monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal voltage of 12.8V makes this a direct replacement for 12V lead-acid battery banks in most systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e180Ah capacity delivers 2,304Wh of usable energy at the nominal voltage, with a significantly higher usable capacity than equivalent lead-acid due to deeper discharge capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated Battery Management System (BMS) provides cell balancing, over-charge, over-discharge, over-temperature and short-circuit protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight of 20.5kg is substantially lighter than a comparable lead-acid battery bank, reducing structural load in mobile and marine installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron MPPT charge controllers, MultiPlus and Phoenix inverter\/chargers when configured with the correct charge profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiFePO4 is the preferred lithium chemistry for energy storage in solar and off-grid systems. Compared to other lithium-ion variants, it offers a flatter discharge curve, better tolerance of partial state-of-charge cycling, and a longer cycle life. The 12.8V nominal voltage aligns with standard 12V system architecture, so this battery integrates directly into existing wiring and charge controller configurations without voltage conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Smart\" designation means this battery includes an integrated Bluetooth module. Using the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, installers and end users can read live data including state of charge, voltage, current and cell temperatures without needing a separate battery monitor. This is particularly useful during commissioning and for ongoing diagnostics in hard-to-access installations such as boat bilges, motorhome battery compartments or off-grid cabins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal BMS handles cell-level protection autonomously. It will disconnect the load or charger if any cell exceeds safe voltage, temperature or current thresholds. For systems requiring communication between the BMS and a Victron inverter\/charger or MPPT, a VE.Bus BMS or compatible external BMS interface may be required depending on system design. Installers should verify the full system architecture before specifying this battery in managed battery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAT512118610\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal voltage: 12.8V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 180Ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnergy: 2,304Wh\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth: Yes, built-in (VictronConnect compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 20.5kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076060260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V off-grid solar storage systems in cabins, sheds and remote installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat house battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome, campervan and caravan leisure battery replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems with Victron Phoenix or MultiPlus inverter\/chargers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePortable power stations and mobile off-grid setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-acid replacement in existing 12V solar installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron LiFePO4 12.8V 180Ah Smart battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis battery should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer familiar with lithium battery systems. LiFePO4 batteries require a charger or charge controller configured with a lithium-specific charge profile. Do not use charge settings designed for lead-acid, AGM or gel batteries. In systems with a Victron MultiPlus or Quattro, the charge algorithm must be set correctly and, where BMS-controlled charge management is required, a compatible BMS communication interface should be used. Ensure adequate ventilation and that the battery is installed within its specified temperature range. For marine installations, verify compliance with relevant marine electrical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863694213454,"sku":"BAT512118610","price":605.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAT512118610_-_LiFePO4_Battery_12_8V-180Ah_Smart.webp?v=1781183485","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-lifepo4-12v-180ah-smart-battery","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
