The Next Evolution: Gen 2 163-24CAN 24V 163Ah LiFePO4 Battery

Ultra-Compact Design | 200A High-Output BMS | UN38.3 Certified | UL1642 & IEC 62619 Certified Cells | Cross-Capacity Parallel Ready | Compact Profile Layout | Australian In-House Engineered

Redefine your power limits with the Generation 2 163-24CAN. This unit completely rewrites the rules of battery geometry by packing a massive 24-volt, 163Ah capacity into a compact frame that effortlessly slides into tight canopy corners, caravan lockers, or marine compartments. 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 Daly JHB Series 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 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 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.

Unrivalled 200A Continuous Power Output

The 163-24CAN shatters expectations, boasting an astonishing 200A continuous output. This immense power capability makes it the perfect, unwavering partner for your 5000W inverter, allowing you to run virtually any electrical appliance with confidence, no matter how demanding:

• Induction Cooker: Cook up a storm with ease.
• Kettle & Coffee Machine: Enjoy your morning brew, no matter where you are.
• Microwave: Quick and convenient meals on the go.
• Air Fryers: Prepare delicious, crispy meals on the go.
• Fridge: Keep your food and drinks perfectly chilled.
• Air Con: Stay cool and comfortable even in the outback heat.
• Lights: Illuminate your campsite with reliable power.
• Air Compressor: Inflate tires or gear with confidence.
• Computer & Camera Gear: Stay connected and creative.
• Starlink Mini: Stable, clean coverage Australia wide.

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

Take full control of your power ecosystem with the system's advanced communication suite. The 163-24CAN 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.

Infinite Scalability: Series or Parallel Ready

Whether you need a high-voltage 24V setup or a massive off-grid bank, the Gen 2 163-24CAN is built to grow with your exact power demands.

• Series Flexibility: Connect up to 4 units in series for higher-voltage arrays as needed. (Note: Batteries configured in series must match in capacity and age).
• Parallel Scalability: Connect up to 16 units in parallel to create a total 2,608Ah power bank, utilizing our cross-capacity paralleling technology.
• 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 high-capacity 24V canopy builds, heavy motorhomes, large-scale commercial marine vessels, and residential energy storage systems.

Massive Capacity in an Ultra-Compact Form Factor

Prepare to be astonished by the 163-24CAN's incredibly efficient, space-saving layout. Measuring just 345mm Long x 190mm Wide x 272mm High (285mm with terminals) and weighing a manageable 28.5kg, this 24V 163Ah battery is dramatically smaller than other standard 24V options on the market. This means more usable power in less space, freeing up valuable room in your caravan, RV, canopy build, boat, or tight marine compartment without sacrificing high-voltage capability.

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.
