Our latest range of 135Ah lithium (LiFePO4) deep-cycle batteries are the most reliable, technologically-advanced batteries we have ever manufactured. With Bluetooth® monitoring, outstanding performance characteristics and full international certification, you’ll never be caught short of 12v power on your 4wding and camping adventures again! Best of all, we’ve packed 135Ah of usable power into a standard Group 27 (N70) size case, meaning they are compatible with standard-sized battery boxes and trays.

These batteries are made using best-in-class robotic manufacturing processes with rigorous quality assurance (including serialised tracking) and pre-shipment cycle testing. We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That’s why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

 

Top-quality cells

Our 135AH deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Wait… aren’t prismatic cells better?

Prismatic and cylindrical cells both have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Batteries which use prismatic cells are somewhat lighter than those with cylindrical cells, and are easier to manufacture due to having fewer connections between cells. Cylindrical cells, on the other hand, are usually more efficient in their energy usage, produce somewhat less heat and tend to be more reliable than their prismatic counterparts.

The improved cell reliability and efficiency of cylindrical cells are what made us decide, like Tesla and Rivian, to manufacture these batteries from cylindrical cells.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

  • UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
  • UL 1642: Performance/quality testing to guard against risk of fire or explosion
  • IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
  • IEC 62619:2017: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
  • CE: The batteries meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements

In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:

  • ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
  • ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

Our heavy duty battery box allows you to turn a regular deep-cycle battery into a convenient portable power station, or create a dual-battery setup using the optional VSR. It is suitable for all deep-cycle batteries up to 324mm (l) x 180mm (w) x 240mm (h) in size.

 

Our heavy duty battery box allows you to turn a regular deep-cycle battery into a convenient portable power station, or create a simple dual battery setup using the optional 50A Voltage-Sensitive Relay (VSR) and Dual Battery Wiring Kit. It is suitable for a range of battery types including AGM, Lithium, Wet, Gel and Calcium, and can handle batteries up to 324mm (l) x 180mm (w) x 240mm (h) in size.

Constructed of durable ABS plastic and meeting the UL 94V-0 standard for flammability of plastic products, this battery box is a high-quality unit that will last for many years. It contains two 12v outlets with 10A fuses, a dual USB outlet, four 50A Anderson-style outlets that can be used as outputs or inputs, and a 175A Anderson-style outlet which can be used as a jump-starter. Unlike most other models on the market, all Anderson-style ports are recessed into the body to minimise the possibility of damage, and the internal cabling uses heavy-gauge wire and quality connectors.

The battery can be charged from a range of sources (including solar panels) by simply plugging into one of the 50A Anderson-style ports. The battery’s charge status and voltage can be easily seen via the large digital display.

More usable power, longer life

When comparing batteries it is vitally important to understand the difference between nominal and C20 capacity. To reduce confusion and help to standardise the measurement of battery capacity, most reputable battery manufacturers will quote the capacity of their battery in amp-hours at C20 (also written as C/20), which means the number of amps the battery can deliver if discharged at a constant rate over a period of 20 hours. Using this standard, a fully-charged battery with a capacity of 100Ah could deliver 5A of current per hour for a period of 20 hours before becoming fully discharged (5A x 20h).

Some disreputable manufacturers, however, will advertise the nominal capacity of their batteries and bury the C20 rating in the fine print. Nominal capacity has no practical application and can be up to 20% higher than the C20 rating, so a battery that is advertised as a 120Ah battery might only be able to deliver 105Ah or even less.

We value our good reputation, and will always quote the C20 rating as the battery’s capacity. This means you can be confident that the power we say our batteries can deliver is not inflated to mislead, create confusion or invite unfair comparisons.

Bluetooth® monitoring app

This battery give you the capability to easily monitor its key data wirelessly, via Bluetooth® connection. You can access this feature by downloading the Hardkorr Battery app which is available for iOS® and Android® devices. With the app you can view:

  • KEY INFORMATION

    State of charge, current voltage, available capacity, status, health.

  • DETAILED INFORMATION

    Current voltage, net current in/out, status, cycle life, temperature.

  • CELL STATUS

    Current voltage of each cell to ensure they are balanced.

  • CONTACT DETAILS

    Our website, address and email in case you have a question or problem.

The app also records a log of any instances where a BMS protection circuit is activated, including over-charge, over-discharge, under-voltage, over-current and over-temperature. You can find it by pressing the shield icon in the top-right corner of any screen.

Why upgrade to lithium?

  • Long cycle life: lasts up to 10x longer than Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries
  • More usable capacity: safely use up to 70% of usable capacity and 99% in an emergency (vs 50%/70% for SLA)
  • Light weight: About half the weight of an equivalent SLA battery
  • Environmentally friendly: Non-toxic, contains no acid, can be installed in any direction

Handy remote reset switch

The Battery Management System (BMS) inside all lithium batteries contains a protection circuit which trips if the voltage drops below a certain setpoint. In the case of Hardkorr batteries, it is set at 10.0V. This circuit prevents damage to the battery by putting it into a ‘sleep’ mode until it is reset.

In the past, resetting the battery after the over-discharge protection was activated was not easy. Whilst some battery chargers do contain a “wake-up” function, most people had to resort to applying a constant voltage above 12V across the terminals using jumper leads or home-made wires. This was fraught with danger; damage to appliances or the battery were not uncommon.

Our batteries provide an easy solution to this problem; simply connect our included remote reset switch to the socket on the top face of the battery and hold down the button for 5 seconds, and the over-discharge circuit will reset itself. The button can also be flush-mounted into your 12v setup if desired.

KEY FEATURES

  • Constructed from UL 94V-0 compliant ABS plastic
  • Multiple port types allows your to connect a range of devices
  • Easily connect a DC/DC charger or solar panel to charge the battery, or use the optional 50A Voltage-Sensitive Relay (VSR) and Dual Battery Wiring Kit to charge directly from crank battery
  • Can be used to jump start vehicles (175A Anderson jumper cable set is an optional extra)
  • All ports are recessed into the body to reduce likelihood of damage
  • Easily see battery status with large digital display

EASY DUAL BATTERY SETUP

Using a battery box combined with a VSR is the easiest way to create a dual battery setup in your vehicle.

The VSR acts as an isolator, allowing the auxiliary battery (inside the box) to charge directly from the crank battery while the car is running. When the ignition is switched off and battery voltage drops below 12.7V, the VSR automatically cuts the link between the auxiliary and crank batteries.
