Epoch Essential Series LiFePO4 Batteries (Bluetooth, Heated)

The Epoch Essential Series is a clean, no-fuss LiFePO4 battery line built for everyday house power on boats, RVs, vans, and off-grid cabins. Most models add an integrated self-heating system for safe charging in the cold and built-in Bluetooth so you can keep an eye on state of charge, voltage, and current right from your phone. It's a straightforward, maintenance-free way to drop lithium into a system without overcomplicating things.

Available from a compact 12V 50Ah all the way up to a 12V 460Ah house bank, plus a native 24V 230Ah for 24-volt boats and rigs, a 36V 50Ah option, and a Group 31 dual-purpose model that adds engine-cranking muscle. The 12V 334Ah comes two ways: the standard Group 31 version, and the MC (metal case) version with a 300 A BMS and Victron CAN communication.

Key Features

• Self-heating on most models — the battery warms its own cells so it can charge safely down to −20°C (−4°F). (The 12V 50Ah is a non-heated Bluetooth model.)
• Built-in Bluetooth monitoring — check capacity, voltage, current, and battery health from the Epoch app on iOS or Android.
• Smart BMS — protects against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, and temperature extremes.
• Expandable — connect in series and parallel (per model) to build the voltage and capacity your system needs.
• Dual-purpose option — the Group 31 172Ah model delivers 1,000 A cranking for outboards and starting loads alongside deep-cycle house duty.
• Maintenance-free with a long LiFePO4 service life (3,500–4,000+ cycles depending on model).
