1. Introduction
1.1. Product description
The SB12V1200Wh-M is a Lithium Iron Phosphate rechargeable battery. The unique
combination of state-of-the art technology and smart software makes this Li-ion battery a
robust, safe and easy to use energy storage solution.
Compared to conventional lead acid batteries, the Super B Epsilon saves up to 70 % in space
and weight. It offers fast charging, is very efficient, has extremely high performance and is
maintenance free.
Moreover, the Super B Epsilon uses exceptionally safe lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)
technology. With its integrated battery management system the Li-ion battery is protected
from deep discharging, overcharging and overheating. Eliminating the need for an external
safety relay means the Li-ion battery is very easy to install.
The Super B Epsilon also has integrated battery monitoring which provides details about its
status such as voltage, current, temperature, state of charge and time remaining. Hands-on
monitoring is possible via Bluetooth, external monitoring devices and LED indicators inform
you about the actual status of your Li-ion battery. The free BeInCharge app provides 24/7
information about the state of charge, time to go and status of the Li-ion battery.
Potential applications of this Li-ion battery include: Recreation vehicles service battery,
marine service battery, energy storage solutions.
In Appendix I, the Declaration of Conformity for the Li-ion battery is given.
