Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional upfitter, our OEM-ready design offers the ultimate flexibility for scalable power systems. Featuring standard BCI group sizing for a direct drop-in fit and integrated CAN Bus communication, these batteries are built to grow with your needs. Seamlessly network multiple units in series or parallel to power heavy-duty inverters and sophisticated off-grid electronics, making it the preferred choice for high-end van builds and marine power grids.
EX2 Edge - 12V 240Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery – Features
VHC™ Vertical Heat Conduction
Unlock four-season freedom with our proprietary internal heating system. VHC™ technology evenly distributes heat throughout the battery structure, allowing you to safely charge your lithium bank even when outside temperatures drop as low as
Advanced Battery Management System (BMS)
The intelligent BMS acts as the brain of the battery, actively monitoring cell health 24/7. It provides fail-safe protection against overcharging, deep discharging, short circuits, and excessive currents, ensuring your battery operates safely for its entire 12-year warranty lifespan.
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Communication
Designed for advanced system integration, the built-in CAN Bus port allows the battery to communicate intelligently with compatible inverters, chargers, and system monitors. This ensures precise charging coordination and seamless data sharing for complex RV and marine builds.
Bluetooth® Enabled
Stay connected to your power system wirelessly. Integrated Bluetooth® technology syncs seamlessly with the Expion360 SmartTalk™ app, allowing you to monitor real-time voltage, current, temperature, and remaining capacity directly from your smartphone without needing a separate monitor.
Touch-Safe Quick Terminals
Safety meets convenience. The EX2 Edge utilizes high-power, touch-safe terminals designed for quick and secure connections. These terminals protect against accidental short circuits during installation and maintenance while handling high-current loads with ease.
Integrated Mounting System
Secure your power. The battery casing features a built-in mounting interface that eliminates the need for aftermarket straps or trays. You can easily bolt the battery down or link multiple EX2 units together for a clean, professional, and vibration-resistant installation.
Slim 4.2" Profile
Revolutionize your layout. The "Edge" form factor delivers a massive 240Ah capacity in a unit only 4.2 inches tall. This unique shape allows for installation in shallow spaces like false floors, bed risers, and tight compartments where standard batteries simply won't fit.

FAQs
Product Overview & Physical Specs
The EX2 Edge is designed with a unique "ultra-slim" form factor, measuring just 4.2 inches thick. This allows it to fit in tight spaces where traditional batteries can't, such as behind vehicle seats, in false floors, or mounted flat against a wall.
Dimensions: 21.9" L x 17.5" W x 4.2" H
Weight: 67.0 lbs (30.4 kg).
This is a 12.8V nominal Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery with a capacity of 240 Amp-hours (Ah). It provides approximately 3072 Watt-hours (Wh) of energy.
No. This battery has an IP40 rating, which protects against solid objects (like wires or tools) but does not protect against water ingress. It should be installed in a dry, protected location, unlike the IP65-rated GC2 models.
Performance & Electrical Specifications
- Recommended Charge Voltage: 14.6V
- Float Voltage: 13.6V
- Charge Method: CC-CV (Constant Current/Constant Voltage).
- Optimum/Continuous Discharge: 120A
- Max Continuous Discharge: 200A
- Pulse Discharge: Up to 250A (3 seconds) or 300A (1 second) for starting heavy loads.
No, this battery is designed for 12V systems only. Do not connect them in series for 24V or 48V. You can, however, connect up to 4 units in parallel to increase capacity (e.g., 960Ah total).
Features & Technology
The Vertical Heat Conduction (VHC) system allows you to charge the battery in freezing temperatures (down to -4°F). The heating element automatically activates when it detects a charge current and the temperature is below freezing. It uses the energy from the charger—not the battery itself—to warm the internal cells before allowing a charge to flow.
Yes, the battery has built-in Bluetooth. The SmartTalk™ app (available for iOS and Android) allows you to wirelessly monitor the battery's health, state of charge, voltage, and temperature. It can also aggregate data from multiple batteries into a single system view.
The EX2 Edge uses touch-safe, quick-disconnect terminals. These are designed to be safer and allow for secure, high-power connections while minimizing the risk of accidental shorts during installation.
Yes, it features CAN Bus communication ports for integration with compatible RV and marine power systems, allowing the battery to "talk" directly to inverters and chargers for optimized performance.
Installation & Warranty
The EX2 Edge features an Integrated Mounting System. The casing itself is designed with mounting points that allow you to secure it directly to floors or walls without needing expensive aftermarket brackets. You can also link multiple units together using this system.
Expion360 backs this battery with a 12-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability for your off-grid or RV setup.
