Aku 12,8 V/150Ah NG

This Victron Energy battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄ or LFP) technology, known for its robustness, safety, and long lifespan, particularly suited to marine applications.

The Victron Energy 12.8V/150Ah NG battery has a nominal voltage of 12.8 V and a nominal capacity of 150 Ah. Its nominal energy is 1920 Wh, measured at 25 °C.

The battery dimensions are 205 mm (height) x 250 mm (width) x 205 mm (depth). Its estimated weight is 14 kg.

The cycle life of this battery varies depending on the depth of discharge (DoD):

2500 cycles at 80% DoD3000 cycles at 70% DoD5000 cycles at 50% DoDThese figures are valid for a remaining capacity of at least 80% of the nominal capacity.

The battery can be discharged at temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +50 °C. For charging, the temperature range is narrower, from +5 °C to +50 °C.

The self-discharge rate of this NG Lithium battery is very low, with a maximum of 2 % of capacity per month at 25 °C. A low self-discharge rate contributes to NG batteries' overall performance, longevity, and reliability.

Battery monitoring and control are performed via the VictronConnect app, a Victron GX device, or the VRM portal. These tools allow real-time visualization of battery parameters such as cell status, cell voltages, battery current, and temperatures.

Yes, Victron Energy Lithium NG batteries are effectively sealed against dust and can withstand low-pressure water jets, giving them an IP65 protection rating. They are therefore suitable for environments where exposure to dust and water is a concern.

The battery cells are certified UL1973, UL9540A, and IEC62619. The battery itself complies with IEC62619 (certification pending) and UL 2054.

The maximum continuous discharge current for this battery is 150 A (1C). The maximum pulsed discharge current for 10 seconds is 300 A (2C).

Yes, an external Battery Management System (BMS) is mandatory for this battery to operate. The Lynx Smart BMS NG (500A or 1000A models) is required and must be purchased separately. It automatically manages all battery parameters, including individual cell voltages and temperatures.

Yes, these batteries can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a combination of both, to create battery banks suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V systems.

A single battery bank can hold up to:

50 batteries for 12V or 24V systems (up to 192 kWh for 12V, 384 kWh for 24V)25 batteries for 48V systems (up to 128 kWh)

The battery is supplied with mounting brackets that simplify installation and ensure optimal securing to prevent it from sliding or tipping. It can also be placed on its side.

The battery's power connections are made via M8 terminals, which include threaded inserts and bolts for a secure and reliable connection.

Yes, it is recommended to perform an initial charge of the battery before its first use. This ensures that all cells are balanced and that the battery is at its optimal state of charge to start operating efficiently.

When handling the battery, it is important to wear safety goggles and protective clothing. Use insulated tools and avoid wearing metallic objects. Handle the battery carefully as it is sensitive to mechanical shocks and is heavy. It is imperative never to open or disassemble the battery.

The BMS communication cables are male + female cables with an M8 circular connector and high-speed digital communication, 50 cm in length. They can be connected in series ('daisy-chained'), and M8 extension cables are available separately in various lengths (between 1 and 5 meters).
