The US Stock 320Ah LiFePO4 battery offers 8,000+ cycles, Grade A safety, and 3.2V stability, making it perfect for DIY solar, RV, and off-grid setups. Its high energy density, thermal resilience, and minimal voltage sag ensure reliable power storage for 12V/24V/48V configurations. With a 10+ year lifespan, it outperforms lead-acid batteries in cost-effectiveness and longevity.

How Does the 320Ah LiFePO4 Battery Achieve 8,000+ Cycles?
The battery’s cycle life stems from LiFePO4 chemistry, which minimizes dendrite formation and electrode degradation. Advanced cell balancing and a built-up BMS (Battery Management System) prevent overcharging/over-discharging, reducing stress on individual cells. Stable 3.2V discharge curves and thermal runaway resistance further extend durability, even under high-current solar charging or extreme temperatures (-20°C to 60°C).
Extended cycle life is also achieved through precision manufacturing. Each cell undergoes 72-hour formation cycling to stabilize electrodes before assembly. The use of carbon-coated aluminum current collectors reduces internal resistance by 18% compared to standard designs. This results in 99.5% Coulombic efficiency during partial state-of-charge operation, a common scenario in solar applications. Third-party testing shows 82% capacity retention after 5,000 cycles at 1C discharge rates, outperforming NMC batteries by 300% in deep-cycle applications.
What Are the Key Advantages of Grade A LiFePO4 Cells?
Grade A cells use automotive-grade lithium iron phosphate with 99.9% purity, ensuring ≤3% capacity fade after 2,000 cycles. They feature laser-welded terminals, reinforced casing, and UL1973 certification for fire safety. Unlike Grade B/C cells, they undergo rigorous cycle testing, guaranteeing 320Ah±1% capacity consistency and <50mV voltage delta between parallel cells.

Which Configurations Support 12V, 24V, and 48V Systems?
Four 3.2V cells in series create a 12V bank (4×3.2V=12.8V). For 24V, connect eight cells (8×3.2V=25.6V), and sixteen cells for 48V (51.2V). The modular design allows flexible stacking via M8 threaded rods. A 48V/320Ah system stores 16.384kWh—enough to power a 2,000W RV inverter for 8+ hours. Always use a Daly or JK BMS for voltage synchronization.
| System Voltage | Cells in Series | Total Voltage | Energy Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12V | 4 | 12.8V | 4.096kWh |
| 24V | 8 | 25.6V | 8.192kWh |
| 48V | 16 | 51.2V | 16.384kWh |
Why Choose LiFePO4 Over Lead-Acid for Solar Camping?
LiFePO4 provides 95% usable capacity vs. lead-acid’s 50%, doubling effective storage. At 15kg vs. 60kg for equivalent lead-acid, it reduces RV weight. It charges 3x faster via MPPT controllers and operates silently, unlike gas generators. With zero maintenance and 10-year lifespan, it saves $1,200+ in replacement costs per 100Ah over a decade.
For campers, the battery’s 1,500W peak discharge capacity (for 3 seconds) can start air conditioners or power tools without voltage drops. Its flat discharge curve maintains appliance efficiency – a 12V fridge runs 22% longer compared to lead-acid systems. Field tests show 98% depth-of-discharge capability versus lead-acid’s strict 50% limit, effectively doubling usable capacity. The built-in low-voltage disconnect (2.5V/cell) prevents accidental over-discharge during extended cloudy periods.
How to Safely Install a DIY LiFePO4 Battery Bank?
Use nickel-plated busbars (≥150A rating) and torque terminals to 8-10Nm. Install a 200A JK BMS with Bluetooth monitoring to track cell voltages (±0.01V accuracy). Enclose cells in a fire-rated ABS case with 2mm² grounding. For 48V systems, maintain <1% wire resistance (e.g., 4AWG for 3ft runs). Always fuse each series string at 1.25x max current.
“The 320Ah LiFePO4 cells are a game-changer for off-grid storage. Their 1C continuous discharge (320A) supports high-power inverters without sag. At $0.22/Wh, they’re 40% cheaper than retail solar batteries. Just ensure your BMS has passive balancing and low-temp cutoff to maximize cycle life.” — Solar Industry Engineer, 12+ years in renewable energy systems.
FAQ
- Can These Cells Be Used in Parallel for Higher Capacity?
- Yes. Parallel connections increase Ah (e.g., 2x320Ah=640Ah). Use cells from the same batch to minimize voltage imbalance. Limit to 4P without active balancing.
- Does Cold Weather Affect Performance?
- Charging below 0°C risks plating. Use self-heating cells or insulate the enclosure. Discharge works down to -20°C at 80% capacity.
- Are These Batteries UL Certified?
- Cells are UL1642-certified. Full systems require UL9540 certification, which depends on BMS and enclosure compliance.
