Victron Energy Lithium NG 12.8V/200Ah (BAT512120620): a 12.8V 200Ah LiFePO4 system battery with 2,560 Wh of energy, an integrated shunt and cell monitoring, designed to run under a Victron NG BMS. Lithium NG batteries are the building blocks of larger Victron systems. Each battery monitors its own cells and temperature and sends voltage, current and temperature data to a Victron NG BMS, which controls charging and loads and shows state of charge over Bluetooth. It delivers 200 A continuous (400 A for 10 seconds), can be wired up to 4 in series, and scales to large banks in parallel. A Victron NG BMS is required and sold separately. Backed by Victron's 3-year lithium battery warranty.

πŸ”‹ Is It Right for Your System?

Built for Victron systems with a Lynx Smart BMS NG, smallBMS NG or VE.Bus BMS NG. Common uses:

  • Off-grid homes & cabins
  • Yachts & workboats
  • Large RVs & expedition trucks
  • ESS & backup systems
  • Industrial DC
πŸ“ Quick check before you order:
  • You'll use a Victron NG BMS: Lynx Smart BMS 500/1000 NG, smallBMS NG or VE.Bus BMS NG. It won't work with the older Lynx Smart BMS, VE.Bus BMS V2 or smallBMS, and the warranty requires an NG BMS.
  • Your system is 12V, or you'll wire up to 4 batteries in series for 24V or 48V. Up to 50 batteries per BMS.
  • Your charge sources can be set to 14.0–14.2 V charge and 13.5 V float, or controlled by the BMS through DVCC on a GX device.
  • You'll charge between +5 and +50Β°C. The BMS stops charging below 5Β°C, and this battery has no heater.
  • Plan for fusing, cabling and the BMS (not included). Mount indoors in a dry place, upright or on its side.
  • Need UL? This battery is certified to UL 2054 (TÜV SÜD, with Lynx BMS NG), and its cells to UL 1973 and UL 9540A.

Why Choose a Victron Lithium NG Battery

🧠

Victron NG BMS Control

The NG BMS manages charge and load disconnects, and shows state of charge, cell voltages and temperatures over Bluetooth and VRM.

πŸ“Š

Integrated Shunt

Each battery measures its own voltage, current and temperature and reports to the BMS for accurate, system-wide monitoring.

πŸ”—

Scales Big

Up to 4 in series and up to 50 batteries per BMS, with up to 5 BMSes in parallel for very large banks.

⚑

High Current

200 A continuous discharge and 200 A charge (1C), with 400 A available for 10 seconds.

πŸ’§

IP65 Housing

Dust-tight and splash-resistant, for engine rooms and battery compartments (indoor, dry locations).

πŸ”

Long Life

2,500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, 5,000 at 50%, and 92% round-trip efficiency.

⏱️ How Long Will It Run?

Constant load Estimated runtime
250 W About 9.2 hours
500 W About 4.6 hours
1,000 W About 2.3 hours
2,000 W About 1.2 hours

Estimates use the battery's 2,560 Wh rating and about 90% system efficiency. Real runtime depends on temperature, inverter efficiency and battery age.

❓ Common Questions

Which BMS do I need?
A Victron NG BMS: the Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG or 1000 NG for most systems, the smallBMS NG for small systems without an inverter/charger, or the VE.Bus BMS NG with a VE.Bus inverter/charger.
Will it work with the Lynx Smart BMS (non-NG) or VE.Bus BMS V2?
No. NG batteries need an NG BMS, and Victron says NG and non-NG batteries and BMSes can't be mixed. Using it without an approved NG BMS voids the warranty.
Does the battery have Bluetooth?
Not by itself. The NG BMS has Bluetooth and shows state of charge, cell voltages and temperatures in VictronConnect; add a GX device for VRM remote monitoring.
Can I wire them in series?
Yes, up to 4 in series per string (24V or 48V), and up to 50 batteries per BMS in total.
Can it charge below freezing?
No. The BMS disables charging below 5Β°C, and this battery has no built-in heater. For cold-weather charging, look at the self-heating Lithium SuperPack NG.
Is it UL listed?
Yes, it's certified to UL 2054 by TÜV SÜD (with the Lynx BMS NG), and its cells to UL 1973 and UL 9540A.
How does the warranty work?
Victron covers lithium batteries for 3 years from the original end user's purchase date, with proof of correct use and an approved NG BMS. Warranty claims go through the place of purchase, so contact us and we'll handle it with Victron.
