12V 8Ah LiFePO4 Battery - SLA Replacement
Looking for a lightweight and long-lasting battery? Our 12V 8Ah LiFePO4 replacement battery is compatible with traditional 7Ah and 9Ah SLA batteries but delivers all the benefits of advanced lithium technology. This LiFePO4 battery offers a longer service life, weighs less than half of SLA batteries, and provides longer run times with a consistent higher voltage until capacity is almost exhausted.
Key Benefits of LiFePO4 Batteries
-
Longer Service Life: Enjoy up to 10x the lifespan compared to lead-acid batteries.
-
Lighter Weight: Less than half the weight of SLA batteries, making it perfect for portable and off-grid applications.
-
Better Performance: More usable life per cycle, giving you longer run times with consistent power output.
-
Low Self-Discharge: Maintains 80-90% charge when in storage, significantly higher than lead-acid batteries.
Safe and Efficient Power
Each LiFePO4 battery is equipped with an internal battery management system (BMS) to ensure safe charging and discharging. The BMS offers protection against:
- Short circuits
- Overheating
- Under/over-voltage
This battery can be wired in series or parallel configurations. For optimal performance, charge each battery individually to 100% using the same charger before connecting them.
Important Note: When using this battery in recreational vehicles (e.g., caravans, campers, 4WDs), follow the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3001:2. Professional installation is recommended.
