ReliOn LiFePO4 Lithium Battery 12V 60Ah

ReliOn LiFePO4 Lithium Battery 12V 60Ah: reliability and deep cycle performance

The ReliOn RB60 is a lithium battery with a 12.8V nominal voltage and 60Ah (768Wh), designed for deep cycle applications with much lower weight than an equivalent lead-acid battery. It's a common choice for boats, motorhomes and recreational vehicles.

Use cases: where this 12V 60Ah lithium battery performs best

Motorhomes and campers

A lithium leisure battery like this one can power fridges, LED lighting, inverters and other equipment for longer, making use of practically 100% of its rated capacity thanks to its tolerance for deep discharge.

Solar installations

Paired with solar panels and an MPPT regulator, this battery for solar panels stores generated energy efficiently, with a 99% charge/discharge efficiency.

Marine use

On board, the weight saving compared with an equivalent lead-acid battery is significant (7.2 kg versus over 18 kg), which improves handling on the water and makes installation easier in tight spaces.

Lithium battery vs. AGM/Gel: why choose LiFePO4

Compared with an equivalent AGM or Gel battery, this 12V 60Ah lithium battery offers several advantages: greater real depth of discharge, many more charge and discharge cycles over its service life, much lower weight and an internal BMS that protects against overcharge, over-discharge and short circuit. In exchange for a higher upfront investment, the cost per cycle and per Wh used is usually lower in the medium term.

Installation and compatibility

The RB60 works with standard 12V chargers, solar regulators and inverters. Its internal BMS manages cell protection, so no additional external controller is required for normal domestic use. It's recommended to keep within the charging temperature range stated in the datasheet and to use cabling and terminals rated for its maximum current.

Frequently asked questions about the ReliOn RB60 lithium battery

Can I directly replace my 12V lead-acid battery with this lithium battery?

In most 12V installations, yes, as long as the charger or regulator supports lithium (LiFePO4) charge profiles. If your equipment is older, it's worth checking compatibility or adding a dedicated lithium charger.

How long does a LiFePO4 lithium battery like this last compared with an AGM?

LiFePO4 batteries offer many more charge and discharge cycles than an equivalent AGM or Gel battery, which in typical motorhome or solar use translates into several extra years of service life.

Do I need a special solar regulator or charger?

You need an MPPT regulator compatible with lithium, or with a configurable LiFePO4 charge profile, to get the most out of this battery's charging efficiency.

Is it suitable for use on boats?

Yes, many users choose it for boats due to its low weight compared with lead-acid and its stable behaviour during deep discharges, always in line with the manufacturer's installation conditions.

Do you ship to the Canary Islands?

Yes, we ship this ReliOn lithium battery to the Canary Islands.
