Epoch 24V 230Ah V2-T Elite Series LiFePO4 Battery (5.89kWh)
The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2-T Elite LiFePO4 battery delivers 5.89 kWh of deep-cycle energy in a single sealed, IP67-rated case. It is designed for marine house banks, RVs and 24V off-grid solar systems. A user-serviceable 300A Class T fuse, native Victron CAN communication, internal heating and Bluetooth monitoring are all built in. Explore more options in our lithium marine battery collection.
Key features
- High capacity: 25.6 V, 230 Ah, 5.89 kWh (5,888 Wh nominal) in one battery.
- Built-in Class T fuse: user-serviceable Eaton JJN-300 (300 A, 20 kA interrupting rating at 160 V DC) under a protected service cover.
- Victron ready: CAN communication at 500 kbit/s with Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX; with DVCC enabled, the BMS sets the charge limits of Victron chargers. The communication harness is included.
- Strong output: 115 A continuous charge and discharge (about 2,944 W DC before inverter losses), 250 A discharge for 5 seconds.
- IP67 enclosure: dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion to 1 m for 30 minutes with all seals and glands installed.
- Heated: BMS-controlled 153.6 W heater for charging in cold weather.
- Bluetooth monitoring: state of charge, cell voltage, temperature, cycles and alerts in the free Epoch Cloud app (iOS and Android) via the included remote digital gauge.
- Long service life: 3,500+ cycles to 70% end-of-life capacity, maintenance-free, 11-year limited warranty.
- Scalable: up to 16 batteries in parallel (3,680 Ah, about 94.21 kWh) or 2 in series (51.2 V nominal).
Protection built in at the source
The 300A Class T fuse reduces fault energy right at the battery outlet, and the embedded BMS supervises cell voltage, current, temperature and balancing, with protection against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current and short circuits. The cells are listed to UL 1642, UL 9540A and IEC 62619:2022. The built-in fuse does not replace system protection: a DC-rated main fuse or breaker close to the positive terminal, a disconnect and branch protection are still required.
Native Victron integration
Connected to a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX, the battery reports its status and acts as the controlling BMS and battery monitor. Batteries in a bank are daisy-chained, and the GX device sees the whole bank as one battery. An external mountable power button and a remote digital gauge are included for quick local access.
Cold-weather charging
The cells are not charged below 0°C (32°F). While a charger is connected, the heater switches on at 5°C (41°F) and off at 10°C (50°F), using incoming charge energy to warm the cells, so the charge source must supply enough current for both heating and charging. Charging is possible from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and discharging from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F).
Power for demanding 24V loads
One battery supports about 2,944 W of continuous DC output at 25.6 V. Size inverters by their DC input current, which must stay within 115 A. If it can exceed that, add batteries in parallel. Planning runtimes at 80% of nominal energy (about 4,710 Wh) are roughly 47 hours at 100 W, 9.4 hours at 500 W, 4.7 hours at 1,000 W and 1.6 hours at 2,944 W.

Recommended charging settings
Program every charge source, Victron equipment included, to a lithium (LiFePO4) CC/CV profile: bulk/absorption 28.4 V, absorption time 15 minutes per battery in the bank, float 27.0 V, equalization and temperature compensation disabled. Never charge above 29.0 V, and never use lead-acid equalization or desulfation modes. The combined charge current from all sources must stay within 115 A per battery. For alternator charging, use a DC-DC charger or an alternator regulator set up for lithium.
Installation notes
This is a deep-cycle battery for house power and energy storage, not for engine starting. Install it upright on a flat, rigid surface, with service access to the terminals, fuse area, switch and communication ports. Although the enclosure is IP67-rated, it is not designed for water jets, pressure washing or continuous submersion, so choose a location that stays dry in normal use. If you are replacing a Group 8D lead-acid battery, confirm tray fit, hold-down and lid clearance first. Optional Elite Series 8D mounting hardware is available. When building banks, use matched batteries of the same model, age, capacity and state of charge. For marine systems, compliance applies to the complete installation, so have the full design reviewed by a qualified installer.
