Lithium Battery 12VDC - 180AH - Smart LifePO4 - Drop Ship Only for $150

Victron Energy Lithium Battery Smart batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). They are available in capacities of 12.8 V or 25.6 V. They can be connected in series, parallel, and series/parallel so that a battery bank can be built for system voltages of 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V. The maximum number of batteries in one system is 20, which results in a maximum energy storage of 84 kWh in a 12 V system and up to 102 kWh in a 24 V1) and 48 V1) system. 

A single LFP cell has a nominal voltage of 3.2 V. A 12.8 V battery consists of 4 cells connected in series and a 25.6 V battery consists of 8 cells connected in series.

Why lithium-iron-phosphate?

Rugged 

A lead-acid battery will fail prematurely due to sulfation: 

  • If it operates in deficit mode during long periods (i.e., if the battery is rarely, or never fully charged). 
  • If it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime). 

A LFP battery: 

  • Does not need to be fully charged. Service life even slightly improves in case of a partial charge instead of a full charge. This is a major advantage of LFP compared to lead acid.
  • Other advantages are the wide operating temperature range, excellent cycling performance, low internal resistance, and high efficiency (see below). 

LFP is therefore the chemistry of choice for demanding applications.

Efficient 

  • In several applications (especially off-grid solar and/or wind), energy efficiency can be of crucial importance. 
  • The round-trip energy efficiency (discharge from 100 % to 0 % and back to 100 % charged) of the average lead-acid battery is 80 %. 
  • The round-trip energy efficiency of a LFP battery is 92 %. 
  • The charge process of lead-acid batteries becomes particularly inefficient when the 80 % state of charge has been reached, resulting in efficiencies of 50 % or even less in solar systems where several days of reserve energy is required (battery operating in 70 % to 100 % charged state). 
  • In contrast, an LFP battery will still achieve 90 % efficiency under shallow discharge conditions.

Size & Weight 

  • Saves up to 70 % in space 
  • Saves up to 70 % in weight 

Expensive? 

  • LFP batteries are expensive when compared to lead-acid. However, in demanding applications, the high initial cost will be more than compensated by longer service life, superior reliability, and excellent efficiency. 

Bluetooth 

  • With Bluetooth cell voltages, temperature and alarm status can be monitored. 
  • Instant readout: The VictronConnect App can display the most important data on the Device list page without the need to connect to the product. 
  • Very useful to localize a (potential) problem, such as cell imbalance. 

Six tailored BMS solutions 

There are 6 different BMS models tailored for various applications available for use with the Lithium Battery Smart. The system design and BMS selection guide in the battery manual provide an overview and explain the differences between them and their typical use.

1) To reduce the required balancing time, Victron recommends using as few different batteries in series as possible for the application. 24 V systems are best built using 24 V batteries. 48 V systems are best built using two 24 V batteries in series. While the alternative, four 12 V batteries in series, will work, it will require more periodic balancing time.

Victron LFP batteries have integrated cell balancing and cell monitoring. The cell balancing/monitoring cables can be daisy-chained and must be connected to a Battery Management System (BMS). 

The BMS will: 

  • Generate a pre-alarm whenever the voltage of a battery cell decreases to less than 3.1 V (adjustable 2.85 V – 3.15 V). 
  • Disconnect or shut down the load whenever the voltage of a battery cell decreases to less than 2.8 V (adjustable 2.6 V – 2.8 V). 
  • Stop the charging process whenever the voltage of a battery cell increases to more than 3.75 V or when the temperature becomes too high or too low.

Customer photo review of Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14-15 HP | For Tractors

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Ranew Outdoor Firminator Rototiller | RT Series | Working Width 4', 6' & 8' | Tiller, Seeder & Cultipacker | Horsepower 24–55 HP | For Tractors

When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.

BEFCO | Baby-Hop Pull-Type Broadcast Spreader | Model 103 & 106 Series | 237–339 lb Capacity | 3′–20′ Spread Width | Horsepower 10 To 20 HP | For Lawn Tractors, ATVs & UTVs

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14HP Kohler Motor | For UTV Side by Sides and Tractors

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!
