Description

Inside are high-current cylindrical cells and a BMS, with M6 bolt terminals. The IP65 ABS case shrugs off water spray and mud from the wheels of a motorcycle or quad. Continuous 100 A gives 1.28 kW, so it also runs heavy power tools. Internal resistance is 25 mΩ max, and the BMS cuts discharge at 10 V, so a long failed start will not drain it flat. Charging is allowed from 0 °C to +60 °C, with storage at 0 °C to +50 °C. Specific energy is 72.2 Wh/kg.

How to choose

A starter battery is chosen by cranking current and fit, here 600 A for 5 s and the Odyssey 680 footprint. If the engine needs more, packs go in parallel, up to 16. For traction or storage, 15 Ah is too small, so use PowerBrick packs.
