Victron Energy LiFePO4 Battery 25.6V 200Ah Smart-a
Lithium (LiFePO4) 25.6V 200Ah Smart-a Battery
Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) is one of the safest and most efficient types of lithium-ion batteries. Below are key reasons why LFP is the preferred choice for various applications.
Safety
LFP batteries are the safest among the mainstream lithium-ion battery types, with a nominal voltage of 3.2V per cell (compared to 2V per cell for lead-acid batteries).
- A 12.8V LFP battery is composed of 4 cells connected in series.
- A 25.6V LFP battery consists of 8 cells connected in series.
Ruggedness and Durability
LFP batteries are more durable and less prone to failure compared to lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries fail prematurely due to sulfation, especially under these conditions:
- Operating in deficit mode (rarely or never fully charged).
- Being left partially charged or fully discharged for extended periods (e.g., during winter storage in yachts or mobile homes).
Unlike lead-acid batteries, LFP batteries:
- Do not require full charge cycles to maintain health.
- Experience better service life even when kept partially charged.
- Offer advantages like a wide operating temperature range, excellent cycling performance, low internal resistance, and high efficiency.
These traits make LFP batteries ideal for demanding applications.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is crucial in many applications, such as off-grid solar or wind systems. Here's how LFP compares to lead-acid batteries:
- Lead-acid batteries have a round-trip energy efficiency of 80% (from 100% to 0% and back to 100%).
- LFP batteries achieve a round-trip efficiency of 92%.
Lead-acid batteries become especially inefficient once they reach 80% charge, with efficiencies dropping to 50% or less in systems that require extended reserve energy. In contrast, LFP batteries maintain around 90% efficiency even under shallow discharge conditions (operating between 70% to 100% charge).
Cost
While LFP batteries are more expensive upfront than lead-acid batteries, their long service life, reliability, and energy efficiency offset the initial cost. Over time, LFP batteries provide better value, especially in demanding applications.
Bluetooth Monitoring
LFP batteries can be equipped with Bluetooth technology, enabling remote monitoring of:
- Cell voltages
- Temperature
- Alarm status
This feature is valuable for detecting potential issues, such as cell imbalance.
Required Battery Management Systems (BMS)
For optimal performance and safety, LFP batteries require a compatible Battery Management System (BMS). Recommended BMS options include:
- VE.Bus BMS – Ideal for systems with inverter/chargers.
- smallBMS (formerly MiniBMS) – Best for small systems.
- Battery Management System BMS 12/200 – Suitable for automotive and marine systems with DC loads and alternators.
- Smart BMS CL 12/100 – Ideal for automotive and marine systems with DC loads and alternators.
- Lynx Smart BMS – Recommended for large systems.
By selecting the appropriate BMS, you ensure efficient and reliable operation of your LFP battery system.

Order Shipment
If your order is received and is available for immediate shipment (within 5 business days), we usually ship the item(s) within 2-3 business days. Tracking information will be provided to the customer within 24 hours of the order being dispatched from the warehouse. Tracking information will be sent to the email provided by the customer when they checked out.
Delivery Time
Once the tracking information is sent to your email, it usually takes about 5-10 business days for your item(s) to arrive. Delivery times may vary depending on location and brand so please contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Once your order is confirmed, your order is automatically placed in a batch of orders for the day that our team processes. The processing time of these orders is the duration in which it takes for your submitted order to leave our warehouses across the country. Usually, our processing time takes 2-3 business days, which means it takes 2-3 days for our product(s) to leave the warehouses after receiving your order confirmation.
Refunds and Returns.
If you need to exchange your product, you may do so. You as the customer, are responsible for any shipping costs throughout any returns and exchange processes.
Not all orders are available for return once they have shipped. We order our products directly from the manufacturer. Therefore, if the manufacturer will not permit us to return a product, we cannot offer you a return. This often varies on a case-by-case basis; please reach out to us if you would like specific information on your brand and/or product.
Due to drastically increasing LTL/freight shipping costs, any outright returns will incur a 25% cancellation fee + return shipping costs. If you are replacing the product with something else, we may be able to help you cover some of the costs depending on the product.
Customers have 30 days from the date they received the item to initiate a return, however, please check the specific return policy for the brand of product you are purchasing as the brand specific return policy on the product page overrides this general return policy of 30 days.
