This is a high-performance, deep-cycle LiFePO4 battery designed for energy storage in 4WDs, caravans, and off-grid setups. Its key feature is its standard N70 case size, making it an ideal drop-in replacement for traditional lead-acid batteries. It’s built with A-grade prismatic cells and an internal Battery Management System (BMS) for safety and a long lifespan.

No. The 160Ah Lithium Battery is designed as a robust, high-value power source. It does not include built-in Bluetooth connectivity or support for the KA Lithium App.

No. The 160Ah Lithium Battery does not feature the required communication ports to connect to a KickAss remote display unit.

To monitor information like State of Charge (SOC), current draw, and time remaining, of the 160Ah Lithium Battery you will need to install an external battery shunt. We recommend the KickAss 600A Smart Shunt with Battery and Tank Monitor for accurate, real-time system monitoring.

The 160Ah XB Lithium Battery is an N70 style/size battery measuring 338mm (L) × 185mm (W) × 217mm (H) (without terminals) and weighs 16.5kg.

Yes, you can connect up to four 160Ah Lithium Batteries in parallel to increase capacity, or up to four in series to increase voltage. You cannot mix parallel and series connections in the same bank.

Important: Only connect batteries of the same model, capacity, and production batch for optimal performance.

No. This is a deep-cycle 12V battery specifically designed for energy storage and powering accessories. It is not suitable for cranking or starting applications.

Yes, as the 160Ah Lithium Battery is an N70 style size, you can use the KickAss Universal N70 Battery Tray for a secure and professional installation.

You must use a battery charger with a specific LiFePO4 (Lithium) charging profile. The charger should have a maximum charge voltage of approximately 14.6V and must not exceed the battery's maximum continuous charge current of 80A. All KickAss ACDC and DCDC chargers are compatible.

The internal Battery Management System (BMS) may have activated Under Voltage Protection (UVP) because the voltage dropped below 10V. This is a safety feature to protect the battery from damage. To recover it, you need to use a compatible charger with a lithium activation or recovery mode.

1. Method 1 (Recommended): Use a KickAss AC charger with a dedicated "Lithium Recovery Mode".
2. Method 2: Connect the battery to a KickAss DCDC Charger. Our DCDC chargers have an automatic lithium recovery function that will wake the battery once it detects a charging source from the vehicle's alternator.

Note: Always disconnect all loads from the battery before attempting recovery.

If storing for an extended period, fully charge the battery first. To maintain its health and service life, it is recommended to recharge it every three months. Store it in a cool, dry location between -20°C and 45°C.

Poor performance can occur when batteries have different States of Charge (SOC) before being connected. The weakest or most imbalanced battery may trigger BMS protection and affect the entire battery bank.

Solution: Before connecting batteries in series or parallel, disconnect and individually charge each battery to 100% using a compatible LiFePO₄ charger. Allow the batteries to rest for at least 30 minutes, then connect them once they are fully charged and balanced.
