Rolls VB12-135LFP-RV 12V 135Ah LiFePO₄ Battery
Key benefits
- 12V 135Ah LiFePO₄ battery in a standard Group 31 case, ideal as a drop‑in upgrade for deep‑cycle lead‑acid batteries in RV, marine and off‑grid systems.
- Long service life with more than 6000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge and over 3000 cycles at 100% DOD, reducing replacement frequency and whole‑life cost.
- Integrated hardware BMS and Bluetooth connectivity with a dedicated iOS and Android app for simple monitoring and protection.
Brief description
The Rolls VB12-135LFP-RV 12V 135Ah LiFePO₄ Battery is part of the R‑Series LFP range, built around cylindrical LiFePO₄ cells in a robust ABS Group 31 enclosure. With 1.73kWh of energy, high discharge capability and fast‑charge performance, it suits campervans, motorhomes, boats, small off‑grid cabins and commercial service vehicles needing reliable 12V storage. A built‑in BMS manages protection functions while Bluetooth connectivity allows you to keep track of state of charge and operating conditions from your phone or tablet.
Key features
- 12.8V nominal, 135Ah rated capacity and 1.73kWh total energy in a compact Group 31 footprint.
- Standard‑size BCI ABS container with rope/plastic handles and M8 terminals for easy retrofit in place of VRLA batteries.
- Wide operating temperature range with charge from 0°C to 55°C and discharge from ‑20°C to 60°C.
- Integrated BMS (4S150A) providing independent charge and discharge protection, including over‑voltage, low‑voltage, over‑current, short‑circuit and temperature protections.
- Configurable in series and parallel up to 4S4P (48V systems) or 1S6P (12V systems) for scalable storage banks.
