4.28 kWh, Victron CAN-bus and internal heating in one steel-cased 12V battery. The Epoch 12V 334Ah MC Essential Series stores 4.28kWh in a powder-coated steel case built for dry, protected indoor installs. It talks to a Victron Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX over CAN-bus, reports to your phone over Bluetooth, and warms itself before charging in the cold. It's built for off-grid solar, home backup, cabin and RV owners running a Victron-based system who want a lot of 12V energy from one battery.

🔧 Will It Fit & Work for You?

A large-format steel case, not a BCI group size. Popular uses include:

  • Off-grid solar & inverter systems
  • Victron GX-based systems
  • Home backup & cabins
  • RV & van builds (inside, dry compartments)
  • Tiny homes & workshops
  • Large 12V parallel banks
📏 Quick check before you order:
  • Your space fits 15.35" L × 8.07" W × 11.02" H (390 × 205 × 280 mm), plus room for terminal hardware and cables, and can hold 75 lb.
  • It's installed indoors, upright and out of the weather. The case is IP21: drip resistant only, not dust-tight or waterproof.
  • Your inverter's DC input stays within 300A continuous (about 3,840W), with 150A recommended for daily use.
  • Your system is 12V. This model is not approved for series wiring (24V/48V). Expand in parallel instead.
  • Your charger has a LiFePO4 profile. It's a deep-cycle battery, not for starting engines.

Why Choose the 334Ah MC

🔗

Victron CAN-Bus Built In

Connects to a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX over CAN-bus with DVCC support, so your Victron system can follow the battery's charge limits.

⚡

High-Output Power

300A continuous (about 3,840W at 12.8V) and 600A peaks for up to 10 seconds, with 150A recommended for daily use.

🔥

Winter-Ready Charging

An internal heating film runs only when a charger is connected and the cells are below 0°C. Charging resumes above 5°C (41°F).

📱

Bluetooth Monitoring

The free Epoch Li-Ion app shows state of charge, cell voltages, temperatures, heater status and BMS history.

⚖️

2A Active Balancing

Active cell balancing works across the full state-of-charge range to keep the four cells matched over time.

🧠

Smart BMS Protection

Overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and high/low temperature protection. Rated for 4,500+ cycles.

⏱️ How Long Will It Run?

Constant load Estimated runtime
100W About 34.2 hours
500W About 6.8 hours
1,000W About 3.4 hours
3,000W About 1.1 hours

Epoch estimates based on 3,420Wh usable (80% of stored energy). Real runtime varies with load, inverter efficiency, temperature and battery condition.

Lithium vs. a Lead-Acid Bank

Epoch 12V 334Ah MC Typical Lead-Acid
Batteries for ~4.3 kWh 1 Several
Weight 75 lb Many times heavier
Usable capacity Most of the rated 334Ah About half, to protect battery life
Cold-weather charging Built-in heater Slow & inefficient
Talks to your Victron GX Yes, over CAN-bus No
Warranty 11-year limited Usually 1–2 years

🔌 Charging Made Simple

🔋

Recommended: Up to 167A

Charge at up to 167A (0.5C) per battery for best results, with 300A max.

🚫

No Lead-Acid Modes

Use a charger with a LiFePO4 profile. Turn off equalization, desulfation and "repair" modes, and set temperature compensation to 0.

🔥

Cold-Weather Charging

Below 0°C (32°F), the connected charger powers the heater. Charging resumes above 5°C (41°F), which can take up to 60 minutes in deep cold.

🔗

Victron Setup

On your GX device, select the CAN-bus BMS profile (500 kbit/s) and enable DVCC. Link batteries in a bank with straight-through RJ45 patch cables.

🛡️ 11-Year Limited Warranty

Years 1–3Free replacement of a defective battery

❓ Common Questions

Does it work with my Victron system?
Yes. It connects to a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX over CAN-bus. Select the CAN-bus BMS profile (500 kbit/s) and enable DVCC so your Victron chargers follow the battery's limits.
Can I wire them for 24V or 48V?
No. Series wiring is not approved for this model unless Epoch provides written guidance. You can build a larger 12V bank in parallel: 4 batteries are validated (17.10kWh), and up to 16 with Epoch design support.
Can I install it outdoors or in a boat?
Epoch rates it IP21 for dry, protected indoor installs only. It's drip resistant but not dust-tight or waterproof.
What size inverter can it run?
300A at 12.8V is about 3,840W before inverter losses, which commonly suits 3,000W 12V inverters with proper cabling and fusing. 150A is recommended for daily use.
How does the heater work?
Charging is blocked below 0°C (32°F). With a charger connected, an internal heating film warms the cells, and charging resumes above 5°C (41°F). Warming can take up to 60 minutes in deep cold.
Does it have Bluetooth?
Yes. The free Epoch Li-Ion app shows state of charge, cell voltages, temperatures, heater status and BMS history.
Does it fit a Group 31 battery box?
No. It's a larger 15.35" × 8.07" × 11.02" steel-cased battery weighing 75 lb. Measure your space before ordering.
Can it start my engine?
No. It's a deep-cycle battery. Use a cranking or dual-purpose battery for starting.
