🔋 CUSTOM LITHIUM COMPACT 280AH LiFePO4 BATTERY – AUSTRALIAN MADE

280Ah • 12.8V LiFePO4 • 330A Continuous Discharge • Active Balancing • 25kg • 7 Year Warranty

The Custom Lithium Compact 280Ah Battery is built for caravans, RVs and larger auxiliary systems that need substantial off-grid capacity without moving to an oversized battery footprint.

Built in Brisbane using premium A-grade automotive LiFePO4 cells, it combines a high-current Heltech BMS, active cell balancing and a high-strength ABS enclosure in a package weighing approximately 25kg.

With 280Ah of lithium capacity and a stated 330A continuous discharge capability, it is suited to demanding touring systems running refrigeration, lighting, electronics and appropriately designed inverter loads.


⭐ KEY FEATURES

🇦🇺 Australian Made
Built in Brisbane and supplied as a certified Australian Made product.

🔋 280Ah LiFePO4 Capacity
Provides substantial energy storage for caravans, RVs and longer off-grid stays.

⚡ 330A Continuous Discharge
High-current capability supports demanding 12V equipment and appropriately designed inverter systems.

🧠 High-Current Heltech BMS
The battery management system helps protect against conditions such as overheating and over-discharge.

⚖️ Active Cell Balancing
The integrated active balancer helps maintain consistency between individual cells to support stable battery performance.

📐 Compact 338 × 190 × 275mm Overall Size
Designed to pack 280Ah of lithium capacity into a relatively compact format for caravan and RV installations.

🛡️ High-Strength ABS Enclosure
The custom enclosure protects the internal components while helping keep the battery footprint manageable.

🚙 Built for Touring
Internal components are insulated against vibration to help protect the battery from corrugations and remote-area travel.

🧪 Individually Bench Tested
Each battery is individually tested before supply as part of Custom Lithium's quality-control process.

⚖️ Approx. 25kg
Provides substantial lithium capacity at considerably less weight than many equivalent lead-acid battery banks.

🛡️ 7 Year Warranty
Backed by a full 7-year manufacturer warranty.


🚐 BUILT FOR SERIOUS OFF-GRID TOURING

The 280Ah Compact is designed for caravan and RV systems with higher daily power requirements and longer periods away from mains power.

It can form the foundation of a system powering compatible equipment such as:

  • ❄️ 12V fridges & freezers
  • 💡 Caravan & camp lighting
  • 📡 Starlink
  • 💻 Computers & electronics
  • 📷 Camera & charging equipment
  • 💨 Air compressors
  • 🔌 Compatible 240V inverter systems
  • ☕ Coffee machines through a correctly sized inverter
  • 🍳 Induction cooking through an appropriately designed inverter system

🔋 PREMIUM LiFePO4 CELL TECHNOLOGY

The battery is constructed using A-grade automotive LiFePO4 cells, combined with a high-current BMS and active balancing system.

LiFePO4 chemistry is well suited to demanding auxiliary and off-grid applications due to its thermal stability, usable capacity and long service life characteristics.

⚡ HIGH-CURRENT PERFORMANCE

The stated 330A continuous discharge capability gives the 280Ah battery substantial current capacity for larger auxiliary systems.

This makes it suitable for appropriately designed high-power inverter installations, but the complete system must still be sized around actual inverter DC current, surge demand, cable size, fuse protection, connection quality and BMS limits.


🔌 CHARGING REQUIREMENTS

The supplied specifications recommend a standard charge current of up to 100A.

  • Bulk / Charge Voltage: 14.2–14.6V
  • Absorption / Float Voltage: 13.4–13.6V

If your charger offers a LiFePO4 profile matching these voltage requirements, that setting can be used.

Lower-output compatible chargers such as 25A, 30A or 40A units can also be used, although recharge times will be longer with a 280Ah battery.


🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN MADE

Custom Lithium states that these batteries are Australian Made and built in Brisbane.

Each battery is individually bench tested before supply and backed by a 7-year manufacturer warranty.


📋 STANDARDS & COMPONENT COMPLIANCE

Custom Lithium states that its batteries are manufactured using IEC 62619-certified components and meet the recommendations of AS/NZS 3001.


❓ QUICK FAQ

Can I replace an AGM battery with this lithium battery?

Potentially, but your complete charging system must be lithium compatible. Check your DC-DC charger, solar regulator and 240V charger to ensure they support the required lithium charging profile before replacing an AGM battery.

What charging profile should I use?

The supplied specifications call for a 14.2–14.6V charge voltage and 13.4–13.6V absorption/float voltage.

What size DC-DC charger can I use?

The stated recommended standard charge current is 100A. Smaller compatible chargers such as 25A, 30A or 40A units can also be used, but will take longer to recharge the 280Ah battery.

Can this battery run an inverter?

Yes. The stated 330A continuous discharge capability makes it suitable for appropriately designed high-current inverter systems. Actual inverter suitability depends on inverter DC demand, surge requirements, cable sizing, fuse protection and the complete electrical installation.

How do I recover the battery after a low-voltage BMS shutdown?

The supplied instructions describe using a lithium-compatible 240V charger with a suitable power-supply mode to wake the battery. Battery and charger manufacturer instructions should be followed during recovery.
