The 12 Volt Direct Difference

Deep cycle batteries may appear similar on the outside but don't be fooled, there are key differences between low-quality offerings often found on online auction sites and 12 Volt Direct's premium quality offerings.

 

Prismatic Cells

The TVD-LBS100 is four high-quality 3.2 volt 100AH prismatic cells connected in series. Prismatic cells provide superior performance than their cheaper cylindrical cell counterparts as they are more stable and shock-resistant. 

 

Built-in Battery Management System (BMS)

The TVD-LBS100 is equipped with an advanced internal Battery Management System. This monitors and optimizes each Prismatic cell within the battery. It will protect the battery pack from over charge, over discharge, over temperature & short circuit. The BMS helps to ensure safe and accurate operation of the battery.

 

Fits where other batteries cant

Suited for custom installations our TVD-LBS100 can fit where others simply can't. This image shows a custom install behind the rear quarter panel of a 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser. Credit to Authorised Reseller Advanced Installation Service for this awesome install.

 

THE 12 VOLT DIRECT GUARANTEE

All 12 Volt Direct products are manufactured using the highest quality materials. We are so confident that we stand behind this product with a comprehensive 5 Year Australian Warranty.

WHY LITHIUM?

Lithium batteries provide far greater useable amp hours than their lead-acid counterparts. Unlike lead-acid lithium batteries can be deeply discharged without affecting the cycle life. This means you can use the battery for longer before having to recharge. In comparison, AGM batteries are generally recommended to only be discharged to 50% of their capacity to maximize their cycle life whereas lithium can generally be discharged to 80-90% of the capacity.

 

COST

While the initial investment of a lithium battery is more than lead-acid the service/cycle life of lithium is far superior. Typically lead-acid batteries have a service life of 300-900 cycles whereas Lithium has a cycle life of  2000+ cycles at a much higher discharge. That being said you would expect to replace your lead acid battery 2 or 3 times in comparison to replacing 1 Lithium battery.

 

Longer life
Lithium batteries are rated for 2,000 – 5,000 cycles and much more if used carefully, giving you several times the life expectancy of standard lead-acid batteries

 

Powerful
Lithium batteries allow you to pull far more amps out of the same size battery systems

 

Light-weight
Lithium batteries are less than half the weight of the equivalent lead-acid battery.

 

Fast recharge
Lithium batteries charge more efficiently and don’t require as many stages during charging. Therefore, they will charge faster, and hold more of the energy from solar panels and other charging devices.
