FAQs

General Product Information

This is a 12.8V nominal LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery with a rated capacity of 162 Amp-hours (Ah) and total energy of 2073 Watt-hours (Wh).

Dimensions: 10.2" L x 7.1" W x 10.9" H (standard GC2 footprint).

Weight: Approximately 39.5 lbs (17.9 kg).

No. This battery is designed for 12V systems only. You cannot connect them in series. However, you can connect up to four (4) batteries in parallel to increase your total capacity (e.g., two batteries = 324Ah).

Expion360 offers an industry-leading 12-year manufacturer warranty on this battery.

Charging & Electrical Specs

For optimal performance, use a LiFePO4-compatible charger with the following settings:

  • Bulk/Absorption Voltage: 14.6V
  • Float Voltage: 13.8V
  • Recommended Charge Current: 36A
  • Max Charge Current: 72A

The battery is rated for a continuous discharge of 80A.

  • Max Discharge: 150A
  • Pulse Discharge (3 seconds): 180A
  • Pulse Discharge (1 second): 225A

Yes, it features an advanced BMS that protects against high/low voltage, short circuits, overcurrent, and extreme temperatures. It also balances the internal cells for longevity.

Features & Technology

The Vertical Heat Conduction (VHC™) system uses a heating film in direct contact with each cell. It allows you to charge the battery even in sub-freezing temperatures.

  • Smart Operation: The heater intelligently prioritizes external power (like from a solar or shore charger) to warm the battery, minimizing the drain on the battery's own stored energy.

Yes, it is Bluetooth-enabled. You can monitor the battery's status (State of Charge, voltage, current, temperature, and health) using the Expion360 SmartTalk™ app, available for iOS and Android.

SmartTalk™ allows you to wirelessly link multiple Expion360 batteries into a single "bank" view on your phone, so you can see the total system status rather than checking each battery individually.

GC2 is a standard battery group size often used for 6V golf cart batteries. This Expion360 battery fits that same physical footprint but provides 12V power with significantly higher capacity (162Ah) than a standard lead-acid GC2 battery.

Installation & Safety

While LiFePO4 batteries are generally flexible with mounting, the internal structure of this specific GC2 case is optimized for upright installation. Always refer to the user manual for specific mounting allowances regarding the VHC heating system.

The battery has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for marine and RV environments but should not be submerged.

It uses M8 x 1.25 threaded terminals. Ensure you use the correct torque settings (typically found in the manual) to prevent loose connections.
