Optimized Square Profile | 200A High-Output BMS | UN38.3 Certified | UL1642 & IEC 62619 Certified Cells | Cross-Capacity Parallel Ready | Integrated CAN/RS485 Communications | Australian In-House Engineered

Redefine your power limits with the Generation 2 SuperSlim 160. This unit completely rewrites the rules of battery geometry by packing a massive 163Ah capacity into an optimized square, ultra-slim frame that effortlessly slides into tight canopy corners, behind rear seats, or into narrow cargo false-floors. Engineered in-house at our workshop in Welshpool, Western Australia specifically for the brutal extremes of the Australian environment, it features a heavy-duty 200A Smart BMS, integrated CAN/RS485 communication protocols, independent active cell management, UL1642 and IEC 62619 certified cells, and full UN38.3 transport certification. This powerhouse doesn't just store energy—it integrates directly with your premium electronics to deliver a professional-grade, closed-loop energy system.


100% Usable Capacity — Power Every Last Amp

Unlike traditional AGM or lead-acid batteries that damage themselves if discharged past 50%, 12VS Gen 2 Lithium batteries deliver 100% usable capacity.

  • Get What You Pay For: A 163Ah 12VS battery gives you a full 163Ah of usable power right down to the low-voltage cutoff without dropping voltage or harming the cells.
  • Half the Size, Twice the Power: Because you can use every single amp-hour, this single powerhouse effectively replaces a massive AGM bank more than double its physical size and weight, keeping your vehicle's setup incredibly compact and lightweight.

Unrivalled 200A Continuous Power Output

Don't let the ultra-slender profile fool you. The SuperSlim 160 Gen 2 redefines compact energy storage. Boasting an astonishing 200A continuous output, it is engineered to effortlessly run a 2400W inverter and power all your essential gear simultaneously:

  • High-Draw Cooking: Run induction cookers, air fryers, and microwaves for quick, convenient meals on the go.
  • Morning Brew: Enjoy your domestic camping kettle and coffee machine, no matter how remote your campsite is.
  • Living Comforts: Continuous, clean 12V power for chest/upright fridges, cooling fans, and bright LED layouts.
  • Field Utility: Effortlessly run heavy-duty 12V air compressors for recovery gear and tires.
  • Remote Tech & Communication: Stable, continuous power coverage for high-speed internet via Starlink Mini, plus rapid charging for laptops and camera gear.

Advanced Communication: Seamless Victron Integration via CAN-bus & RS485

Take full control of your power ecosystem with the system's advanced communication suite. The SuperSlim 160 Gen 2 is built to talk seamlessly with your high-end off-grid hardware:

  • Direct GX Device Integration: Use a 12VS CAN-bus BMS Cable to link your primary battery directly with your Victron GX device (such as the Cerbo, Ekrano, or Venus). This establishes the master data link for the entire installation.
  • Full System Visibility: View your precise State of Charge (SoC), live current draw, cell voltages, and battery health through your Victron touchscreen or remotely via the global online VRM Portal.
  • True Closed-Loop Control: Your battery establishes a continuous digital handshake with the GX device. The GX device then automatically coordinates and commands your MultiPlus, Quattro, or SmartSolar MPPT controllers. This system-wide loop allows the BMS to dynamically dictate real-time charging limits, preventing over-voltage and maximizing cell longevity.
  • Smart Parallel Networking: Seamlessly link multiple internal BMS units together using standard RJ45 UTP cables to sync data across the entire bank, ensuring balanced performance and unified system communication.

Revolutionary Cross-Capacity Paralleling Permitted

Traditional engineering rules say you can never mix lithium battery sizes in parallel—the Gen 2 JHB Series completely shatters that rule.

  • Integrated JHB Parallel Current-Limiting Modules: Your integrated Daly JHB Smart BMS is manufactured with an onboard intelligent parallel current-limiting module. When multiple 12VS batteries are connected to form a common bank, the JHB hardware automatically detects any state-of-charge or voltage differences between the packs. If a voltage delta exists, the BMS instantly engages its inline current-throttling circuitry, safely capping the cross-pack current transfer to a pre-set internal limit while the batteries smoothly align themselves automatically.
  • Mix & Match Capacities: You can safely mix and match different battery capacities within the 12VS parallel lineup, provided they share the same series BMS architecture.
  • How it Works: The internal parallel modules dynamically throttle and balance current distribution based on each battery’s individual capability. The larger pack safely shoulders a proportionally larger share of the system load, while smaller packs are fully protected from over-stress.

Zero-Footprint Expansion: Dual-Stack Parallel Mounting Brackets

Need more Amp-hours without sacrificing precious floor space or canopy wall real estate? Our innovative optional parallel mounting bracket solves the ultimate space puzzle:

  • Double the Capacity, Same Surface Area: Instead of expanding your setup outwards across your vehicle's layout, the dual-stack bracket allows you to mount a second SuperSlim 160 directly behind the first.
  • Zero Increase in Length or Width: Your footprint footprint remains entirely unchanged—you only double the depth/thickness of the assembly, effectively doubling your total system capacity (326Ah total) in the exact same tight cavity.
  • Secure Back-to-Back Architecture: Engineered specifically to lock two SuperSlim units rigidly together under severe off-road vibration, ensuring a clean, factory-finish installation behind rear seats or against narrow canopy walls.

Infinite Scalability: Series or Parallel Ready

Whether you need a higher-voltage system or a massive off-grid bank, the Gen 2 SuperSlim 160 is built to grow with your exact power demands.

  • Series Flexibility: Connect up to 4 units in series to build 24V, 36V, or 48V systems. (Note: Batteries configured in series must match in capacity and age).
  • Parallel Scalability: Connect up to 16 units in parallel to create a massive low-voltage power bank, utilizing our cross-capacity and dual-stack mounting options.
  • Configuration Rule: Batteries can be set up in series or in parallel to expand your system, but standard drop-in units cannot be wired into a hybrid series-parallel matrix.
  • Total Versatility: Perfect for custom 4WD canopy builds, slim marine bulkheads, and narrow caravan storage cavities where maintaining a low profile is critical.

Optimized Slimline Design — Built for Australian Adventures

Forget compromise. The SuperSlim 160 Gen 2 features an incredible optimized square profile, allowing it to mount completely out of sight and maximize your functional cargo space.

  • Integrated Mounting Brackets: Built with robust mounting brackets designed for secure, flush installation against flat surfaces, and engineered to support optional dual-stack parallel configurations without increasing your surface area.
  • Precision Dimensions: The standalone battery body measures a compact 490mm (H) x 490mm (W) x 65.5mm (D). Overall dimensions including mounting brackets and terminals are a sleek 530mm (H) x 570mm (W) x 65.5mm (H). When dual-stacked using the optional parallel brackets, the width and height remain completely unchanged at 530mm (H) x 570mm (W), with the total thickness doubling to just 131mm (D).
  • Vibration Protection: Designed with rugged durability in mind to protect internal architectures from brutal, corrugated outback tracks.

AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 Ready (Installer Compliant)

Our batteries are engineered to meet the strict structural, terminal security, and cell isolation benchmarks required by the latest Australian/New Zealand standards for habitable vehicles and marine craft.

Important Installation Note: To fully comply with AS/NZS 3001.2:2022, if this lithium battery is installed within a habitable location of a caravan, motorhome, or camper, it must still be housed within a sealed enclosure that vents directly to the outside of the vehicle.

Performance Longevity: Not all cycle ratings are created equal. The 163SSL-CAN 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.
