Banshee 12.8V 7Ah LiFePO4 Battery

This 12.8V 7Ah lithium iron phosphate battery delivers 89.6Wh of energy in a compact 151 x 65 x 100 mm case weighing 0.95 kg. It is built as a direct replacement for 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid units such as those used in the APC Back-UPS 550 BE550G. The pack uses F2 terminals and supports up to four units in series or parallel. It is rated for more than 3000 cycles at 1C with 100% depth of discharge.

Outdoor and backup users who need lightweight

Hikers, campers, robotics builders and solar lighting installers gain a battery that weighs 60% less than an equivalent SLA while providing twice the usable capacity. The chemistry operates reliably in extreme temperatures and recharges quickly. Buyers who need more than 7Ah per block, a different terminal type or a voltage other than 12.8V nominal should look at other models.

3000-plus cycles at 1C 100% DOD

The cycle-life rating of over 3000 full charge-discharge cycles at 1C is the single figure that determines whether this cell fits the application. It means the battery can be fully depleted and recharged daily for years without significant capacity loss, a level lead-acid units cannot reach. If the intended use demands fewer cycles or shallower discharges, a lower-cost chemistry may suffice.
