5.89kWh of heated, Victron-ready lithium with the Class T fuse built in. The Epoch 12V 460Ah V2-T Elite Series stores 5,888Wh in one sealed IP67 battery, with CANbus communication to Victron GX devices, an internal heater for cold-weather charging, and Bluetooth monitoring through the included State of Charge meter. The "T" stands for its integrated, user-serviceable 400A Eaton Bussmann Class T fuse. It's built for marine, RV, solar and off-grid installers who want a large, integrated 12V bank in a single box.
🔧 Will It Fit & Work for You?
A large 8D-class battery (Epoch sells a matching 8D bracket separately). Popular uses include:
- Marine house power & yachts
- RV, fifth wheel & motorhome house power
- Expedition vehicles & overlanding
- Victron GX & DVCC systems
- Off-grid solar & inverter banks
- Cabins & home backup
- 24V–48V systems (up to 4 in series)
- Your space fits 20.86" L × 8.65" W × 12.06" H (529.8 × 219.8 × 306.3 mm) and can support 97.55 lb.
- Your inverter's DC input stays within 230A continuous (about 2,944W, which commonly suits 2,500–3,000W inverters), with 500A for up to 10 seconds.
- For closed-loop control you have a Victron Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX MK2. Without one, program every charger with Epoch's LiFePO4 settings.
- You still add a main fuse or DC-rated breaker near the positive terminal. The internal Class T fuse doesn't replace downstream protection.
- It's a deep-cycle battery, not for starting engines.
What Makes the V2-T Different
Class T Fuse Built In
The "T" in V2-T is an integrated 400A Eaton Bussmann JJN-400 Class T fuse (20kA interrupting at 160V DC). It reduces fault energy at the battery outlet and can be replaced by the user after a fault.
Talks to Victron
CANbus at 500 kbit/s to Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX MK2. With DVCC on and Epoch set as the controlling BMS, the battery shares charge limits, state of charge and status. Victron is the only CAN integration Epoch lists.
IP67 Sealed
Dust-tight and rated for temporary immersion to 1 m for 30 minutes, with all seals, glands and port plugs installed. Not rated for water jets or pressure washing.
Charges in the Cold
Below 5°C the internal heater (about 180W) runs on charger power, never stored energy. Charging pauses at 0°C and resumes automatically at 5°C.
Monitoring Included
The included State of Charge meter shows SoC, voltage and current, and its Bluetooth 4.0 module connects to the free Epoch Cloud app for cell voltages, temperature, cycles and alerts.
Scales to 94kWh
Up to 16 in parallel (7,360Ah) or up to 4 in series for a 48V-class string, with one Master battery set by DIP switches. Series-parallel isn't supported.
⏱️ How Long Will It Run?
| Constant load | Estimated runtime |
|---|---|
| 100W | About 47.1 hours |
| 10A DC load (128W) | About 36.8 hours |
| 250W | About 18.8 hours |
| 500W | About 9.4 hours |
Epoch planning estimates for DC loads, based on 80% of 5.89kWh (about 4,710Wh or 368Ah at 12.8V). Inverter efficiency, temperature, battery age and duty cycle affect real results.

Lithium vs. a Lead-Acid Bank
| Epoch 12V 460Ah V2-T | Typical Lead-Acid | |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries for ~5.9 kWh | 1 | Several |
| Weight | 97.55 lb | Many times heavier |
| Usable capacity | Most of the rated 460Ah | About half, to protect battery life |
| Cold-weather charging | Built-in heater | Slow & inefficient |
| Inverter/charger communication | Victron CANbus + DVCC | No |
| Warranty | 11-year limited | Usually 1–2 years |
🔌 Charging Made Simple
Up to 210A
210A continuous charge from all sources combined (300A for up to 5 seconds). Absorption at 14.2V for 15 minutes per battery, float at 13.5V.
No Lead-Acid Modes
Use a LiFePO4 profile. Turn off equalization and set temperature compensation to 0. Program every charge source with these settings as a fallback if CAN drops.
Cold-Weather Charging
Charging pauses at 0°C (32°F). Charger power runs the heater below 5°C, and charging resumes automatically at 5°C (41°F). Low charge current during warm-up is normal.
Charging From an Alternator?
Epoch strongly recommends a DC-to-DC charger programmed for LiFePO4 between your alternator and the battery.
