Generation 2 Unleashed: The 163S-G2

Ultra-Compact | IP67 Waterproof | 200A High-Output BMS

Big Power. Tiny Footprint. Limitless Scalability. The next generation of portable energy has arrived. The 163S-G2 redefines portable energy by packing a massive 163Ah punch into a frame that is smaller than most 105Ah batteries on the market. Engineered in Australia for the rugged conditions of the Outback, it’s the ultimate solution for canopy builds, compact 4x4s, and caravan setups where every millimeter counts. This unit is designed for those who refuse to choose between storage space and power capacity


Standout Features

  • Massive 200A Continuous Output: Engineered for high-demand applications, it is the perfect match for 2500W inverters. Effortlessly run induction cookers, coffee machines, air fryers, and Starlink Mini.
  • The Smallest 160Ah Battery. PERIOD: At just 260mm x 168mm x 210mm, it fits into tight canopy corners and 4x4 compartments where other 160Ah batteries simply can't.
  • IP67 All-Weather Ready: Fully sealed against dust and waterproof (immersion up to 1m for 30 mins). Take your power through river crossings and coastal salt spray with total peace of mind.

Infinite Scalability: Series & Parallel Ready

Whether you need a simple 12V setup or a massive off-grid bank, the Gen 2 105S is built to grow with you.

  • 4S Capability: Connect up to 4 units in series for 24V, 36V, or 48V systems.
  • 16P Capability: Connect up to 16 units in parallel to create a massive 2680Ah power bank.
  • Total Versatility: Perfect for everything from small camping setups to large-scale marine and residential energy storage.

The Smallest 160Ah Battery. PERIOD.

We've pushed the boundaries of battery geometry. The Gen 2 163S measures an astonishingly compact 260mm (L) x 168mm (W) x 210mm (H) (230mm with terminals) and weighs just 14.7kg.

  • It is dramatically smaller than other 160Ah batteries.
  • It is even more compact than the majority of 105Ah batteries on the market.

This provides unparalleled space savings and effortless integration into tight caravan compartments, compact 4x4 builds, or canopy setups.

Performance Longevity: Not all cycle ratings are created equal. The 163S-G2 delivers 3,500 cycles at 100% capacity (100% DOD). While a battery can technically reach 6,000 cycles, it won't do so at its original rated capacity. Our Grade A CALB cells ensure that after 10 years of daily 100% discharge, you still have ~80% of your power left to use. That’s a decade of daily heavy use before you’ll even notice a 20% drop in total capacity. After that, your battery is far from finished—it will keep powering your adventures for thousands more cycles to come.

NOTE: Generation 2 Batteries are not compatible with Generation 1 Batteries so can not be connected together in series or parallel
