12V 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery LiFePO4 Rechargeable Camping RV

These have pouch cells and are usually sold as 'Gentrax' brand. They arrive with Gentrax branding on the batteries and a Gentrax user manual. Comes with bolts for terminals in a secure package brand new with wrapping tape. I believe they're the exact same internally as the Adventure Kings 100Ah but have yet to see someone tear down those for comparison.

Here is a teardown of the Gentrax shown here. https://imgur.com/a/gentrax-100ah-06-2024-8lnWTqM

I have personally tested these in parallel (3 batteries) and pulled 315Ah. Meaning these are 105Ah each.

EDIT: If you need multiple, now's the time. I've just added 3 to cart for a $505 total. $168 each. This is an all time low price.

      The BMS on this won't allow 200A at all, CMIIW

  Any good deals on a dcdc charger?? Need to replace AGM battery but will need a full system upgrade

  Newbie question…Can this be used to power dashcam if I don’t want to hardwire it? And can this battery be charged by 12v socket?

  • 

    OzzyOzbourne on 26/10/2024 - 09:15

    If your dashcam is 12v then yes (via an appropriate fuse). If it's 5v (most typically have 12-5v adapters), then you will need an adapter and fuse.

    No, it can't be charged directly from 12v. You will need a 12v to lifepo4 battery charger.

    Not sure how having an enormous battery on the floor with fuses, adapters and cables going to a dashcam, plus a separate charger, is any better than a wire from the vehicle fuse box. Certainly not safe IMO

      Ok thanks mate, I will go for hardwiring

  I have a garden shed 2.1 x 2.4m I want to charge my mower etc 18V batteries on and maybe power a light. Any suggestions on all the kit I'd need and where I can get it?

  Bought 2 of these at this sale. One charges to 14.2v the other 13.7v I'm having buyers regret as i wanted to put them in parallel in the camper. I should have not been so tight when the voltx ones were on sale. Ill speak to the ebay vendor and see if I can get a return on the 13.7v one. It might just be surface charge although it doesnt appear so after ive drained the top 10% of the batteries

    Ezekiel2320 on 27/10/2024 - 12:50

    Specs say it should charge to 14.2-14.6 so you shouldn't have any trouble arguing a case for replacement. Don't tell them you plan to parallel them because these aren't designed for that, even though it will probably work

      Awesome help mate!!!! I didn't read that and are new to the Lifepo4 world. Yes I was very hesitant to parallel these and read a heap of threads where people said they had without issue. Im now thinking they just did it without any understanding of what they were doing. I can see why they don't want parallel as it seems a bit of a lottery as to what you get and you would be lucky to get two the same Thanks again

        These charge to a 13.4v float. After charging wait 5hrs then test the voltages.

          feisty on 27/10/2024 - 15:25

          @TheNachoman180: Two identical batteries charging to such different voltages though. Ive spent the last hour reading forums wtc and most people seem to get to at least 14.2v. Although those that didnt aeem to get an accurate capacity reading when tested. Ill see what the aeller says.

      • 

        Ezekiel2320 on 27/10/2024 - 14:58

        The reason these aren't designed to be in parallel is that the BMS inside each battery can balance the cells inside each battery, but they have no way of communicating with each other so if there's a major difference in some cells between the two batteries you will get in trouble

        • 

          feisty on 27/10/2024 - 15:28

          @Ezekiel2320: Yes. Hence why I was hoping to get similar spec batteries and then Id be happty to try it. But nearly a volt difference isnt what I'm willing to take a chance on. Ive messafed the seller who has a very high feedback rating. So I am hopeful they will agrree 13.4 is too low.

            TheNachoman180 on 27/10/2024 - 19:43

            @feisty: Mine have no problem charging to 14.4v when on charge at high amps. All 3 after being left 5hrs go back to 13.4 by themselves

              @TheNachoman180: Cheers mate. Thanks for the info. Ive only got 5 amd 1 amp lithium capable chargers. Both Noco. Ive kept charging and then using about 10 amps from each hoping for a change from the 2nd battery. Im now seeing a max charge of 14.4 and 13.4 before the charger goes into float mode. The company have great feedback and sell lots of lithium so I dont see theyll have an issue swapping it fingers crossed. In hindsight I really should have gone the 200 when it came on sale

  Not a fan of pouch cells. Mine all fail by swelling. I prefer cylindrical or prismatic LFP cells instead now.
