Model BBGC3
270 Amp Hour
Deep Cycle Efficiency and Performance
This 12V deep cycle 270 Ah battery weighs roughly 80
lbs. Utilizing the same stable LiFePO4 chemical
composition and built-in battery management system
(BMS) technology as our other products, the BBGC3 is
one of the most unique deep cycle batteries on the
market.
The BBGC3 offers a form factor that no other battery on
the market has. With unlimited mounting possibilities and
270 Ah of power this battery is ideal for any application
and maximizing your system's space and power. This
battery is capable of being discharged to a 100% depth
of discharge and charges 5 times faster than lead-acid.
The BBGC3 allows for greater flexibility in what you can
power and how you install it, providing energy
independence that other batteries cannot.
Built to last 10 to 15 years and backed by an industry
leading 10-year warranty, at Battle Born Batteries we're

BBGC3 FAQs
Can LiFePO4 batteries be mounted in any position?
You can mount our batteries in any position. Our batteries use a non-liquid based chemistry
and do not emit any fumes or gases. When mounting, make sure to properly secure and
protect your terminals. The BBGC3 is unique in its form factor and can be placed anywhere in
your build!
How can I check my battery’s voltage?
If you do not have a battery monitor, you can purchase a multimeter to monitor the voltage of
your batteries. Please reference the voltage vs capacity table.
How do I properly store my LiFePO4 batteries?
We recommend bringing the Battle Born Batteries to a 100% state of charge. Then, disconnect
the battery from any loads by removing the negative cable from one battery. On average, the
batteries lose approximately 2-3% capacity per month. This power lose is subject to increase if
placed in extreme environmental conditions while in storage.
What is the maximum amperage I can charge my batteries?
Our batteries allow a charge of 135 amps per 270-amp hour battery bank. For more than one
battery, you can simply take the entire amp hours of the bank and cut it in half (e.g.,a total
of 540-amp hours can be charged at 270 amps).
Is it necessary to charge my batteries out of the box?
Yes, if you are connecting your batteries in series you will need to charge your batteries out of
the box. If you are connecting in parallel,then you do not need to. See the diagram below.
