New Products

A new battery is an opportunity to rethink how much useful power fits in the space you already have. A crowded RV battery bay, a boat's house compartment or a van's interior cabinet can all limit the number of heavy lead-acid blocks you can carry. Epoch's New Products offer large LiFePO4 capacities, built-in battery management and phone-based monitoring in configurations made for different 12V and 24V systems.

The Epoch New Products collection currently highlights four deep-cycle models: two 12V 334Ah batteries with 4.28kWh each and two 24V 230Ah batteries with 5.89kWh each. All four include Bluetooth and internal heating. Their enclosures, communication features and intended installation locations differ, so the best choice starts with your voltage, loads and available space. These batteries are for house or energy-storage duty; do not assume an engine-starting role without a specifically approved cranking model.

Put More Useful Energy in a Limited Battery Bay

• Use more of the rated capacity: Lead-acid batteries are often cycled conservatively to protect service life. A suitably sized LiFePO4 bank can make more of its stored energy available for regular deep-cycle use within the selected model's limits.
• Consolidate storage: The 12V 334Ah Essential puts 4.28kWh in one Group 31 footprint. The 24V 230Ah Essential and Elite choices each hold 5.89kWh in a Group 8D-sized case.
• Reduce bank complexity: One adequately sized battery can replace several smaller lead-acid cases in a suitable system, leaving fewer interconnect cables and connection points to inspect.
• Carry less weight where it matters: The 12V 334Ah Essential weighs 60 pounds, while the featured 24V Essential weighs 84 pounds. Compare against your existing bank to calculate actual savings.
• Keep voltage steadier: A flatter LiFePO4 discharge curve can help compatible refrigerators, lights, pumps and inverter systems operate more consistently through a trip or overnight stay.

More power for the space is about usable energy and sound system design, not just an amp-hour number. Measure the tray, hatch opening, terminal clearance and cable route. Then compare kilowatt-hours for energy and the exact battery's continuous and short-term output with your inverter or DC loads. A battery that fits physically still needs a compatible charging profile and proper protection.

Compare the Four New Epoch Batteries

The new options share LiFePO4 chemistry, a protective BMS, Bluetooth access and self-heating, but they solve different installation problems. The standard 12V Essential favors a familiar Group 31 tray; the MC version offers additional communication in a dry interior; the two 24V choices serve systems designed for that higher voltage.

The MC and standard 12V Essential store the same energy, but their output, communication features, size and environmental protection differ. Likewise, the two 24V models share a nominal energy figure without being interchangeable in every installation. Check the current model sheet for load current, charging settings and clearances before treating any one case as a drop-in electrical match.

New Choices for RV, Marine and Off-Grid Power

12V House Power Where Space Is Tight

A trailer or camper van may run a compressor fridge around the clock, then add lights, water pumps and charging devices at night. The 12V 334Ah Essential provides substantial deep-cycle storage in a Group 31 footprint for a suitable battery tray. Its IP54 enclosure belongs in a protected location, including an appropriate boat house-battery compartment where splashes are possible but the case is not submerged.

For a van with a dry under-bed or cabinet installation and a demanding inverter plan, the 12V 334Ah MC Essential adds compatible Victron communication and a higher published output rating. Its IP21 case is intended for protected interior placement. Do not mount it on an exposed trailer tongue, in a wet exterior compartment or anywhere that can be sprayed. Match the inverter's normal and startup draw, cabling and fuse plan to the exact model.

Native 24V Storage for Larger Systems

A 24V boat house circuit, larger RV inverter or off-grid solar system needs a battery built for its system voltage. The 24V 230Ah Essential provides 5.89kWh in a Group 8D footprint with Bluetooth visibility and a splash-resistant IP54 enclosure. It can also serve a compatible 24V trolling circuit after checking motor current and the charging arrangement. One native 24V case may simplify an older series-connected lead-acid bank.

The 24V 230Ah V2-T Elite keeps the 5.89kWh energy target while adding a sealed IP67 case, Victron communication and an integrated, serviceable Class T fuse. These features suit a more involved house or solar system, but the internal fuse is only one part of the electrical protection plan. Install the correct disconnects, downstream fuses and appropriately sized conductors for the complete system.

Bluetooth Visibility and Day-to-Day Reliability

Each of these new models can report battery status through a compatible Epoch phone app over Bluetooth. Before leaving a campground, starting a long fishing day or switching to overnight solar reserve, check state of charge and available voltage, current and temperature readings. Trends in charging and load use help you plan rather than relying on a rough voltage estimate. Bluetooth is a local wireless link; remote viewing requires separate compatible connected equipment.

The MC Essential and V2-T Elite have communication features for suitable Victron-based systems, whereas the standard 12V and 24V Essential models do not list native Victron communication. Verify the correct harness, settings and GX equipment if you need that integration. A phone screen is useful for a quick check, but monitor essential loads and alarms through a system designed for their importance.

LiFePO4 avoids flooded-cell watering and acid cleanup. The built-in BMS helps protect against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent and unsuitable temperatures; internal heating can warm cells before charging in cold conditions when charge power is available. No battery eliminates the need for a correctly sized charger, wiring and reserve. A BMS cutoff can interrupt loads, so keep critical equipment on a thoughtfully planned circuit.

Move from Lead Acid in Four Practical Steps

• List your loads: Record the bank voltage, daily watt-hours, inverter surge, recharge windows and any equipment that must stay powered.
• Measure the compartment: Check tray dimensions, height, terminal access, mounting points and exposure to water; use the IP21 MC only in a dry protected interior.
• Match charging and protection: Confirm the shore charger, converter, solar controller and alternator or DC-to-DC path meet the battery's LiFePO4 settings; review cable and fuse ratings.
• Install and verify: Recycle the old bank, secure the new case, protect exposed connections and test charging, app monitoring and real loads before a long trip.

Do not directly combine lead-acid and lithium batteries in the same bank. If the design uses multiple Epoch batteries, follow the specified series or parallel limits and matching instructions for that model. A marine or RV installer can help with high-current inverter wiring, engine-fed charging or a complex multi-bank system.

Find the Right New Product for Your Build

Epoch's New Products give lead-acid users fresh ways to get more routinely usable energy into the available compartment, with less upkeep, steadier voltage and Bluetooth on every featured model. The right choice depends on 12V versus 24V architecture, a dry or splash-prone location, the energy budget and whether Victron communication or integrated Class T source protection belongs in the design.
