5.89kWh in one heated battery that talks directly to your Victron system. The Epoch 12V 460Ah V2 Elite stores 5,888Wh in a single IP67 case, the energy of more than four 100Ah batteries under one BMS. Native CAN communication lets a Victron GX device read its state of charge and set your Victron chargers' limits automatically. Internal self-heating, Bluetooth monitoring through the included gauge and an 11-year warranty make it a strong fit for large RV, marine and off-grid systems built around Victron gear.
🔧 Will It Fit & Work for You?
A large 8D-class battery (Epoch sells an optional 8D mounting bracket). Popular uses include:
- Victron RV & motorhome systems
- Fifth wheels & large travel trailers
- Marine house power & yachts
- Off-grid solar & cabins
- Home backup & inverter systems
- Large 12V banks (up to 16 in parallel)
- 24V–48V systems (up to 4 in series)
- Your space fits 20.86" L × 8.65" W × 12.06" H (height includes terminal posts; the case body is 11.54" tall). It may be taller than some older 8D AGM batteries.
- You can handle about 97 lb (44 kg). Plan on two people for installation. Mount it upright.
- Your inverter's DC input stays within 230A continuous per battery (about 2,944W at 12.8V before inverter losses).
- For Victron integration you have a compatible GX device (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX Mk2). Without one, the battery still works with any charger set to Epoch's LiFePO4 settings.
- It's a deep-cycle battery, not for starting engines. Add a DC-rated fuse or breaker near the positive terminal.
Why Choose the 460Ah V2 Elite
Over Four Batteries in One
460Ah and 5,888Wh in one case. Fewer interconnect cables, terminals and balance points than a bank of 100Ah batteries.
Native Victron Communication
CAN at 500 kbit/s to a Victron GX device. The battery reports its status and charge limits, and with DVCC on it sets the charge voltage and current limits of your Victron chargers.
Winter-Ready Charging
Below 0°C (32°F) the BMS holds off charging while an internal heater, powered by the charge source, warms the cells. Charging is supported from -30°C (-22°F) ambient.
Bluetooth Gauge Included
The included battery gauge adds Bluetooth for the Epoch Li-Ion app: state of charge, voltage, current, cell voltages, temperatures, history, warnings and over-the-air firmware updates.
IP67 Sealed Case
Rated for temporary immersion to 1 m for 30 minutes. ABS/PC case with a UL94 V-0 flame rating.
Smart BMS + Internal Fuse
Overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and temperature protection, plus a 400A internal fuse (UL 60691).
⏱️ How Long Will It Run?
| Constant load | Estimated runtime |
|---|---|
| 100W | About 47 hours |
| 500W | About 9.4 hours |
| 1,000W | About 4.7 hours |
| 2,944W (230A max continuous) | About 1.6 hours |
Epoch estimates for a single battery based on about 4,710Wh usable (80% of rated energy). Real runtime varies with load, inverter efficiency, temperature and battery condition.

Lithium vs. a Lead-Acid Bank
| Epoch 12V 460Ah V2 Elite | Typical Lead-Acid | |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries for ~5.9 kWh | 1 | Several |
| Weight | 97 lb | Many times heavier |
| Usable capacity | Most of the rated 460Ah | About half, to protect battery life |
| Victron GX integration | Native CAN with DVCC | No |
| Cold-weather charging | Built-in heater | Slow & inefficient |
| Warranty | 11-year limited | Usually 1–2 years |
🔌 Charging Made Simple
Recommended: 230A
Charge at up to 230A per battery (0.5C). Absorption 14.2V for 15 minutes per battery, float 13.5V, re-bulk 13.3V.
Victron Does It for You
With DVCC on and the controlling BMS set to Epoch, the battery sets your Victron chargers' limits. Epoch still recommends programming the same settings into each charger as a fallback.
No Lead-Acid Modes
Use a LiFePO4 CC/CV profile. Turn off equalization and temperature compensation. The BMS cuts off at 14.6V.
Charging From an Alternator?
Epoch recommends a DC-to-DC charger or a lithium-configured alternator regulator.
