The KEPWORTH 12V 180Ah LiFePO4 battery delivers 2304Wh energy with a built-in 100A BMS for safety. It offers 3000+ deep cycles at 80% DoD, operates between -20°C to 60°C, and weighs 44 lbs. Designed for off-grid setups, its low self-discharge rate (3% monthly) ensures long-term reliability in solar, RV, and marine applications.

What Maintenance Practices Prolong Its Lifespan?
Avoid deep discharges below 10% SOC. Store at 50% charge in cool, dry environments. Use a compatible LiFePO4 charger. Regularly check terminal connections for corrosion. The BMS auto-balances cells, but manual voltage checks every 6 months ensure optimal performance. No watering or equalization needed.
To maximize the KEPWORTH battery’s 10-year potential, users should implement a three-phase maintenance approach. First, prioritize shallow discharge cycles – keeping depth of discharge (DoD) below 80% extends cycle count by 40% compared to full discharges. Second, maintain stable operating temperatures through thermal management systems or insulated enclosures, as consistent 25°C ambient temperature reduces internal resistance growth by 60% over 5 years. Third, implement quarterly capacity tests using a constant current discharge analyzer to detect early capacity fade. For seasonal storage, maintain a 3.3V per cell resting voltage and recharge every 6 months to counteract the 3% monthly self-discharge. These practices synergize with the built-in BMS to preserve the lithium iron phosphate cathode’s crystalline structure, preventing the manganese dissolution that plagues other lithium chemistries.
How Does Temperature Affect Its Efficiency?
Performance peaks between 0°C to 45°C. Below -20°C, charging is disabled (BMS protection). High temperatures above 60°C trigger throttled discharge rates. Insulate batteries in freezing climates and avoid direct sunlight exposure. Efficiency drops by 15% at -10°C but remains functional.

The battery’s temperature coefficient of capacity (-0.05%/°C below 25°C) means a 10°C temperature drop reduces available capacity by 0.5%. At -20°C, ionic conductivity in the electrolyte decreases by 70%, necessitating the BMS’s low-temperature charge lockout. In desert environments, the aluminum casing’s 5.8W/m·K thermal conductivity helps dissipate heat, but prolonged exposure above 45°C accelerates SEI layer growth on the anode. For optimal performance, install batteries in climate-controlled compartments maintaining 15-30°C. Below freezing, self-heating models using 2% of stored energy can maintain operational temperatures – a 180Ah battery can sustain -10°C operation for 48 hours by drawing 3.6Ah daily. Thermal imaging tests show terminal temperatures rise 8°C during 100A discharges, requiring 25mm clearance for airflow.

“LiFePO4 technology revolutionizes off-grid energy storage,” says solar engineer Marco Richter. “The KEPWORTH’s 100A BMS and compact design address common pain points like space constraints and safety. Its 3000-cycle lifespan at 80% DoD outperforms competitors, offering a 10-year ROI—critical for sustainable projects.”
FAQs
- Q: Can this battery power a 2000W inverter?
- A: Yes, but limit continuous load to 1800W (150A) to avoid BMS shutdown. Surge capacity supports 4000W for 3 seconds.
- Q: Is a special charger required?
- A: Use any LiFePO4-compatible charger with 14.6V absorption voltage. Lead-acid chargers may undercharge, reducing capacity.
- Q: Does it work with Tesla Powerwall systems?
- A: No, but it complements hybrid systems as a modular backup. Consult an integrator for mixed chemistry setups.
