THE BMS

DCS LFP Batteries are engineered to perform in the most harsh operating conditions.

Every DCS LFP battery features DCS own custom and proprietary BMS that has been continuously refined and improved up since it was first introduced in 2018. The DCS 3S BMS is paired with our stand-alone DCS 16 channel 59.2A Active Cell Balancing System. Both have been designed to pass MIL-STD-810G (Method 514.6) vibration testing requirements which ensures that these batteries remain reliable even in the most punishing of conditions.

THE APP

All DCS LFP batteries also feature our comprehensive Bluetooth system that in conjunction with the DCS LFP App displays the following:

• Battery pack Voltage.
• State of Charge (SOC) % estimate via impedance tracking.
• Amp meter displaying real time charge and discharge current.
• Time remaining (estimate in real time).
• BMS Mosfet temperature status (for winching or large inverter loads).
• Battery pack cycle count.
• Cell status showing real-time active balancing operation.
• More accurate data compared to external battery monitors (shunts).

THE BATTERY

The 12V 180Ah battery sets a new standard for High Energy Density LFP Batteries. Enclosed in a standard N70Z, flame retardant ABS Deep Cycle battery case, this battery has the most Amps hours per pound of any battery currently available on the US Market. A 2C charge rate means this battery can run up to an 2000W inverter. The battery also includes our recently developed heating system. When the temperature drops below 32F the heater will activate and warm the cells to 41F. The heater is draws 4 Amps when active and will only activate when the battery is connected to a charging source.

Please note that while the majority of our 12V LFP batteries have a maximum charge voltage of 12.6V, this battery model has a maximum charge voltage of 14.2V. Not all chargers on the market are set to a max charge voltage of 14.2V, so make sure you verify that the charger you intend to use will not exceed the max charge rating of 14.2V. Applying a charge voltage above 14.2V may cause damage to the battery.


THE CYCLE PERFORMANCE

This Battery is rated to achieve a minimum of 2500 cycles @ 100% DOD (when ≤ 80% of its original capacity retention has been reached @ 77F). That means that this battery is rated to achieve at least 2500 cycles by the time it has faded 20% from its original capacity, that is, when ≤ 80% of its original capacity retention has been reached.
