The Next Evolution: Gen 2 608-CAN 608Ah LiFePO4 Battery

Ultra-Compact Design | 500A High-Output BMS | UN38.3 Certified | Cross-Capacity Parallel Ready | Integrated CAN/RS485 Communications | Australian Engineered

Redefine your power limits with the Generation 2 608-CAN. Stop compromising between limited space and high energy demands. This unit completely rewrites the rules of battery density by packing a monumental 608Ah punch into a streamlined, high-density energy hub engineered specifically for compact standalone or modular off-grid installations. Engineered for the harsh Australian climate, it features a heavy-duty 500A Daly JHB Series Smart BMS, integrated CAN/RS485 communication protocols, independent active cell management, and full UN38.3 transport certification. By consolidating massive capacity into a single stackable unit, we’ve eliminated messy wiring and multi-battery parallel complexity, delivering 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 608Ah 12VS battery gives you a full 608Ah of usable power right down to the low-voltage cutoff without dropping voltage or harming the Grade-A+ 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, removing 10+ cable connections and potential failure points.

Unrivaled 500A Continuous Power

This stackable energy powerhouse delivers a phenomenal 500A continuous output. This massive current capability makes it the definitive, unwavering partner for heavy-duty 6000W inverters, confidently handling massive startup surges from your most demanding appliances simultaneously:

  • Induction Cooktops & Air Fryers: Full-power, chef-grade cooking with ease.
  • Coffee Machines & Kettles: Rapid boiling for your morning ritual, uncompromised.
  • Air Conditioning: True off-grid climate control to stay comfortable in the harsh outback heat.
  • Starlink Mini & Tech: Stable, clean power for high-speed internet coverage Australia-wide.
  • Heavy-Duty Gear: Run air compressors, multi-zone fridges, microwaves, and power tools with total confidence.

The "Victron-Ready" Advantage

Why settle for estimated battery percentages? The 608-CAN features dedicated CANbus and RS485 ports engineered for seamless integration with premium power management ecosystems.

  • Direct Victron Integration: Use a 12VS CAN-bus BMS Cable to link your primary battery directly with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo, Ekrano, or Venus).
  • 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.
  • Closed-Loop Charging: 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 (e.g., connecting this 12V 608Ah battery in parallel with a smaller 12V 105Ah, 163Ah, or 304Ah battery on the same single Busbar), 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.

Infinite Scalability: Series & Parallel Ready

Whether you need a simple 12V setup or a massive off-grid bank, the Gen 2 608-CAN 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 monumental 9728Ah power bank.
  • Total Versatility: Perfect for high-capacity canopy builds, heavy motorhomes, large-scale commercial marine vessels, and residential energy storage systems.

Compact Design, Built for the Elements

Australian conditions are unforgiving. That’s why the Gen 2 608-CAN features an innovative, modular design built to handle the rough vibrations and extreme temperature swings of the Australian Outback.

  • Innovative Stackable Footprint: Measuring 450mm (L) [490mm including terminals] x 440mm (W) x 265mm (H), this 608Ah behemoth is thoughtfully designed to be stackable. This allows for efficient use of space and effortless capacity expansion—if you need more power in the future, simply stack another unit on top.
  • Lightweight & Tough: Premium EVE Grade A+ cells offer maximum energy density with minimal weight, delivering an exceptionally ruggedized form factor.

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.

Premium Engineering & Intelligent Management

Every Gen 2 608-CAN is a testament to quality, featuring top-tier components for maximum safety and a 10+ year service life:

  • Grade A+ EVE Cells: Utilising premium genuine EVE cells, renowned globally for their exceptional energy density, superior safety, and extended cycle life, guaranteeing reliable power for countless adventures.
  • UN38.3 Certified Safety: Fully tested and certified for safe transport and vibration resistance, ensuring the internal cell architecture stands up to corrugated outback tracks and rigorous shipping conditions.
  • 500A Daly JHB Smart BMS: A heavy-duty, commercial-grade Battery Management System that protects against overcharge, heat, and short circuits while effortlessly handling massive current loads.
  • Separate Heltec 5A Active Balancer: This dedicated active balancer meticulously equalizes cell voltages 24/7. Working independently of the BMS, it physically transfers energy from the highest cells to the lowest cells at a high 5A rate, maximizing efficiency, boosting performance, and significantly extending the lifetime of your massive battery pack.
  • 4.3" LCD Touch Screen: Gain instant, comprehensive, and clear access to your battery's vital statistics! This intuitive touch screen built onto the casing provides real-time monitoring and control right where you need it.

Performance Longevity: Not all cycle ratings are created equal. The 608-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+ EVE 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.
