EFFECTIVE POWER

The new Enerdrive EPOWER B-tec lithium battery range is designed as a single deep-cycle battery, replacing conventional battery box sizes. Available in 12V 100AH, 125AH and 200AH capacities, B-tec batteries provide 60 percent more usable power than their lead-acid equivalents, but are 50 percent lighter and smaller. Each unit has an in-built battery management system (BMS) that monitors each cell during battery operation, providing over-charge, over-discharge, over-temperature and short-circuit protection. The battery incorporates wireless smart phone monitoring technology via Bluetooth. By downloading the free Android or Apple app to your smartphone or tablet, you can monitor the battery voltage, capacity, state of charge, battery state of health and much more.
