What Are Redodo 12V 100Ah Lithium Marine Batteries?

Redodo 12V 100Ah Lithium Marine Batteries are high-performance LiFePO4 energy solutions designed for marine, RV, and off-grid applications. Featuring a robust 100A BMS for overcurrent protection and Bluetooth monitoring, these batteries deliver 1280Wh capacity, 10–15,000 cycles, and low-temperature charging down to -4°F. Compact Group 24/31 designs support trolling motors, solar setups, and cold environments, outperforming lead-acid alternatives with faster charging and 80% weight reduction.

What makes Redodo 12V 100Ah batteries marine-ready?

These batteries integrate marine-grade waterproofing, saltwater corrosion resistance, and vibration damping to withstand harsh aquatic environments. Their IP67-rated casings prevent moisture ingress, while shock-resistant terminals maintain stable connections during waves. Pro Tip: Pair with pure sine wave inverters to prevent electromagnetic interference with marine navigation systems. Example: Redodo’s Group 31 variant supports 60V trolling motors for 8+ hours at medium thrust. Warning: Avoid parallel connections without matching internal resistance values—mismatches reduce lifespan.

How does Redodo’s 100A BMS optimize performance?

The 100A battery management system balances cells within ±20mV, ensuring 95% capacity retention after 4,000 cycles. It dynamically limits discharge rates during motor startup surges while enabling passive balancing during charging. Practically speaking, this prevents voltage sag when powering 80lb thrust motors. For comparison: Generic 50A BMS units trip at 70A loads, whereas Redodo’s handles 120A pulses. Pro Tip: Use the Bluetooth app to track cell voltages—imbalances above 50mV signal maintenance needs. Example: A drained 12V 100Ah Redodo battery recharges to 100% in 2.5 hours via 50A chargers.

Can these batteries power 60V marine systems?

Yes, five series-connected Redodo 12V units create a 60V system with 100Ah capacity, delivering 6kWh for extended voyages. The BMS synchronizes balancing across the stack via CAN bus communication. But what happens if one cell fails? Redodo’s modular design allows individual battery replacement without dismantling the entire bank. Pro Tip: Install a system voltage monitor to prevent accidental over-discharge below 48V (80% DoD). Example: A 60V setup pushes 16ft aluminum boats at 6 knots for 6 hours using 800W motors.

How does low-temperature charging work?

Redodo’s optional self-heating pads activate below 32°F, warming cells to 41°F before allowing charging. This bypasses standard LiFePO4 limitations where charging below freezing damages anodes. Energy-wise, the heater draws 50W per battery, adding 5% to recharge times. Pro Tip: Pre-warm batteries stored in sub-zero conditions using built-in heaters before connecting solar panels. Example: At -10°F, a heated Redodo battery achieves full charge in 3 hours versus infinite downtime for unheated units.

Are Redodo batteries compatible with solar systems?

Absolutely. Their wide 10–14.6V input range accepts variable solar yields, and the BMS auto-limits absorption to 14.2V for longevity. With 95% round-trip efficiency, they outperform AGM batteries’ 80% in off-grid setups. But how do you size a solar array? Allocate 200W panels per 100Ah battery for 5–6 hour recharge cycles. Pro Tip: Use MPPT controllers—PWM units waste 20% energy with lithium’s flat voltage curve. Example: A 400W solar setup charges two Redodo 100Ah batteries daily for RV fridge/freezer loads.

What safety certifications do Redodo marine batteries have?

Certifications include UN38.3 for air transport, UL 1642 cell safety, and CE/ROHS compliance. Cells undergo nail penetration tests at 1C discharge, maintaining surface temps below 140°F. Comparatively, uncertified batteries often exceed 212°F in failure scenarios. Pro Tip: Verify certifications via QR codes on battery casings—counterfeits lack verifiable database entries. Example: Redodo’s thermal runaway protection interrupts current within 50ms of detecting internal shorts.
