12V 460Ah V2-T Elite Series LiFePO4 Battery (5.89kWh)

The “T” refers to the integrated Class T fuse. This 12V battery includes a user-serviceable 400A Eaton Bussmann JJN-400 Class T fuse that reduces fault energy at the battery outlet. It does not replace downstream protection: a main fuse or DC-rated breaker is still required as close as practical to the battery positive terminal. Always verify final protection requirements with your installer, ABYC guidance, and local standards.

Yes, through compatible Victron GX devices. Using the built-in CAN bus ports and the included communication harness, it connects at 500 kbit/s to a Victron Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX (BMS-CAN port) or a Cerbo GX MK2 (VE.CAN 1 or 2). With DVCC on and the controlling BMS and battery monitor set to Epoch, the BMS publishes its charge limits, state of charge and status to the GX device. Also program every MultiPlus, Quattro and other charge source with Epoch's charging settings as a fallback in case CAN communication is lost.

Yes, in a clean, dry, protected compartment. The V2-T Elite battery has an IP67 enclosure per IEC 60529: dust-tight and rated for temporary immersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes, but only with all seals, glands and port plugs installed. Epoch still calls for a clean, dry, accessible location protected from bilge water, salt spray and direct terminal exposure, with no standing water around the case or terminals. Remove the battery from service after any immersion until it has been evaluated.

A single 12V 460Ah LiFePO4 battery stores 5,888Wh / 5.89kWh of nominal energy and provides 230A continuous discharge with 500A peak output for up to 30 seconds. In a properly engineered 12V system, the 230A continuous rating is about 2,944W of DC output before inverter losses, so a single battery is commonly suited to 2,500W to 3,000W class inverters with proper cabling, fusing, inverter sizing and load management.

Yes. The C12460A-A supports up to 16 batteries in parallel, allowing a system to scale from one 5.89kWh battery up to roughly 94.2kWh (7,360Ah) of 12V storage, or up to 4 batteries in series for a 48V-class string. Series-parallel configuration is not supported, and every battery in a bank must be a matched C12460A-A of similar age, condition and firmware at the same state of charge, with one Master set by DIP switches.

Yes, as long as a LiFePO4 charger is connected and supplying current. At 0°C (32°F) the BMS low-temperature cut-off pauses charging and incoming charge power runs the internal heater, which switches on below 5°C and off at 10°C. Charging resumes automatically once the battery reaches 5°C (41°F). Heating never uses stored battery energy, so little or no charge current during warm-up is normal.

No separate shunt is required for basic battery visibility. The included State of Charge meter shows state of charge, voltage and current, and houses the Bluetooth 4.0 module that connects to the free Epoch Cloud app (iOS and Android) to display state of charge, cell voltage, temperature, charge and discharge cycles, and system health alerts.

ABYC compliance is assessed for the complete vessel installation, not for the battery alone. The battery includes a user-serviceable 400A Eaton Bussmann JJN-400 Class T fuse that reduces fault energy at the battery outlet; downstream protection is still required. Epoch's manual lists ABYC E-11, ABYC E-13 and U.S. Coast Guard requirements, where applicable, as the marine reference set. Final vessel compliance depends on the complete installation, including cable sizing, routing, overcurrent protection, disconnects, and installer practices.
