Sealed lithium iron sulphate battery (LiFePO4) | Prismatic Smart Cells (PSC) | absolutely maintenance-free

Forster Smart PowerVersatile, powerful and affordable


The Smart Power series offers a LiFePO4 lithium supply battery with innovative frost protection management at an attractive price. It is ideal for motorhomes, vans, caravans, boats, the fishing world and energy storage systems.
Our recommendation if safe use is required even in cold temperatures of up to -30° C.

Features

  • Insensitive to cold thanks to frost protection management

    The SMART Power supply battery has been optimized for cold applications with a cell heater. The newly developed BMS ensures charging and discharging down to minus 30°C. The integrated temperature measurement in the BMS activates the automatic cell heating at cold temperatures (except for CS12-100).
    Your advantage: This battery can be operated well in non-heated, outdoor areas.

  • Very long service life

    Unlike lead-acid batteries, which sulphate at low charge, the LiFePO4 battery is resistant to deep discharge. It can withstand far more charging cycles down to a significantly lower depth.
    Your advantage: You get a particularly long-lasting battery.

  • 100% usable capacity and expandable

    Unlike lead-acid batteries, the entire energy of this extremely compact LiFePO4 can be used. In addition, up to four batteries of the same type can be connected in parallel.
    Your advantage: Significantly increased capacity in a small space.

Characteristics

  • Safe lithium technology (LiFePO4).
  • Highest performance and maximum space utilization thanks to Prismatic Smart Cells (PSC).
  • Power Battery Management System (BMS) The newly developed Power Battery Management System is based on the latest microcontroller technology. It monitors and protects your battery from damage in every application.

Batteries age and fail. Sometimes it happens faster than you planned. If you know the cause of premature aging, you have a chance to make a more appropriate choice now: A battery that fits your technical requirements, intended use, and individual habits …

What is a Supply Battery?

Supply batteries must provide power for as long as possible for consumers that are not connected to the regular power grid or the starter battery. Either in mobile applications, e.g. camping or in island installations such as mountain huts, or in safety applications when the normal power grid fails or to compensate for so-called mains wipers. Depending on the application, they are charged with a charger from the mains or via smaller photovoltaic or wind power systems.

So not only do they have to supply power for a long time and then take it up again well, but they also have to cope well with changing current levels and voltages.

Supply batteries are cyclic batteries, i.e. they are designed to continuously deliver current up to a maximum depth of discharge of 80% when supplying electrical consumers and then to be fully recharged again. In contrast, a starter battery delivers a short, strong current surge for starting the engine and is recharged by the alternator while driving.
