Loving my Vatrer battery
I bought the 300Ah Bluetooth self-heating LiFePo4 battery for my 39’ sailboat. Coupled with a Victron Orion XS 50A DC-DC charger, 100/30 MPPT solar, and Phoenix shore charger it does exactly what I need. It charges so fast compared to my old 300Ah FLA battery bank and provides almost twice the useable Ah. The app is great as well and easy to use. The BMS balances the cells quite quickly in absorption mode. It also takes up less than half the space and a third of the weight.
Great Battery.
Great battery. Ran our RV for two days in warm weather with the fans on the entire time, the 12v fridge running and we were parked under trees. With little to no solar coming in, we still had 183ah remaining.
Charger works fast which is important with a 600ah battery.
Installed with no issues. I did not like the mounting of the display. Only needed to check charge occasionally, so I put it under the seat.
Perfect for the space I had available. Great size for 300ah.
This is a great battery system. Put into a 2007 36 volt western. This and the high speed jumper gets it to 23mph.
These were recommended by Will Prowse. These have been flawless I run 2 in parallel and have enough power to run my chill cube for hours!
Very happy with this battery Installed in my RV.
I just got the installed. Paired the with a Victorian multiplus ii and the run the ac perfectly. Bluetooth has worked great. I with there was away to connect them to the Victron system but I know that would add to the cost. Time will tell.
Battery working Flawlessly . Boon docking will no longer be a problem.
Battery straps work great. I built a battery tray and only needed 1 strap to hold it down.
Amazing energy storage compared to my massive AGM batteries previously used. Very different technology, so far it's great! My PV array has to work overtime to keep up with the batteries, but the batteries sustain us over extended cloudy periods. Support has been good too!
Have only been using on my boat for about a month but am completely satisfied with the battery and the blue tooth bms. I can run my fridge via 1000watt inverter as well as all 12v lights and accessories for roughly 3 days without any use of my solar panels.
Nice battery. Disappointed I could not buy it without the display and power supply. I already had those items. Way too early to comment on performance but I can say, for the moment, it works, and it fit fine in my 2002 club car DS.
So I upgraded my 48 volt 2006 Club Car DS a few years ago with a Navitas motor and controller. I have been waiting for my lead batteries to need replacing so I could go lithium. I upgraded to a 72 volt and what a difference. The install was a piece of cake and the cart is scary fast. With the lead batteries top speed was around 32 now it’s at least 45. Very pleased with the battery and all the components so far. Only which it had a remote on off switch for the battery so I wouldn’t have to lift the seat up every time.
This summer I used this Vatrer 5000W Inverter/Charge Controller paired with a 51.2V Vatrer LIFePO4 Battery along with 1240w of Solar Input only. I could run my RV AC unit along with my electric pressure washer at my campsite. Only thing that would be nice if there were more configurable options like limiting State of Charge to 80% for short durations and allow for multiple Bluetooth connections at once.
So far, this battery is great. It is replacing a bank of four 105Ah LiFePo4 batteries so it gives me more reserve power. It weighs 15 lbs. more than the bank did, maybe less considering the elimination of extra cables it took for the bank. One downside is it only does 300 amps max momentary output, where my former battery bank could output up to 600 amps for surge power. We will need to be diligent about asking for more power at a moment.
Oh wow, y'all. I am by no means a mechanic and i did this with my basic tools and gemini AI to help with questions. I embarked on this earlier today and I would say its like a 2-3 hour job and the hardest part actually is getting the old batteries out. I had to have a friend help me lift the fuckers. We put rope under them and yanked the super heavy bastards out of there, all 6 of them.
Then to my surprise the chassis basically of my cart at least (a tracker ev) supports this battery size out of the box. I had to shave 1/8th inch off the bottom mount bracket with an angle grinder but after that the fit was super tight. I bolted it down with 4 screws on its base. Zero need to put back any of the metal framing stuff that is now in a pile and trash (see pics)
Everything else was super plain sailing! I had to extend the - terminal wires to reach - no biggie - and it was super easy to route the new display through to my dash.
The charger i wired to my old charger cable and handle and it works just fine that way. So I am back in business.
In terms of performance OH.MY.GOD. The cart is way lighter and you can really feel it. It seems to go way faster (could be that my prior batteries were nearing EOL and they likely were) but i am not letting my kids near this cart ... its pretty scary to drive myself in fact. Way more responsive and quick.
The app very easy to setup, not that I think you need it with the display so easy to wire and mount.
Hope the photos are useful and informative.
Installed it in my 72 Volt Cushman hauler. Easy go, very easy. So far so good
Battery is a solid performer. I was able to re use my inverter otherwise additional wiring would have been needed. I connected everything and was able to keep my charger under the seat with ventilation holes in the old battery tray. I adapted a new plug for charging.
Works great and was straightforward to install.
Great tech, quick shipping, good price. Strongly recommend.
I ordered 4 of 48V 100A with rack. It was quite heavy easy to install and had the casters. It’s been a week since complete installation. Also all new settings with inverter and chargers so far so good but my batteries haven’t been fully charged so I have to wait another week. Highly recommended this LifePO4 battery rack
Easy conversion, especially if you already have lights and turn signals.
