PowerStart 12V LiFePO4 starter batteries
Country: France
Built on high-power cylindrical lithium iron phosphate cells, the PowerStart 12V starter battery is rated 12.8 V and 15 Ah (192 Wh) and weighs 2.66 kg. It delivers 600 A for 5 s and 300 A for 90 s. The manufacturer rates it for engines of up to 6,500 cm³, including the aircraft engines of Van’s RV6/RV7/RV8 airplanes. A built-in BMS fully controls voltage, balancing, current and temperature, and the cell heater is switched on via Bluetooth. At 180 × 78 × 170 mm it matches the Odyssey 680, so it drops straight into the place of a lead-acid starter battery. It goes into motorcycles, quads, jet skis, snowmobiles, light aircraft and heavy-duty power tools.

FAQ
Will PowerStart charge from a standard vehicle alternator?
Yes. Alternators usually put out 14.2–14.8 V. The built-in BMS does not stop charging at maximum voltage, and above 14.4 V it limits current by PWM until the battery is fully charged and balanced, even with a poorly regulated alternator.
What engine size can PowerStart crank?
According to the manufacturer, up to 6,500 cm³ (400 cubic inches), including the aircraft engines of Van’s RV6/RV7/RV8 airplanes.
How many PowerStart batteries can run in parallel?
Up to 16, according to the datasheet.
