Product Overview
The Red Pole Energy RP24V280Ah-SLE is a 25.6V 280Ah LiFePO4 starter battery for long-haul trucks, large diesel vehicles and heavy trucks requiring between 1000A and 2000A cold cranking amps (CCA). Its large energy-storage capacity is suited to commercial vehicles that place substantial electrical loads on the battery while stationary, including peripheral equipment that would otherwise encourage extended engine idling.
Key Features
- 2000A maximum CCA for suitable high-demand 24V commercial starting applications.
- 280Ah nominal capacity to support vehicle starting and substantial stationary electrical loads.
- Automotive-grade BMS supports 100% depth of discharge and helps protect against over-charging, over-discharging, short circuits and improper charge voltages.
- Supplier-stated reserve-capacity feature retains 10% capacity for reactivation and vehicle starting after the usable capacity has been depleted.
- Bluetooth communication module monitors state of charge, voltage, temperature, battery health, current draw or charge, and number of starts.
- IP66-rated enclosure, with a supplier-specified flame-resistant PC/ABS (PC-540) casing, helps protect the battery against water, dust and demanding commercial conditions.
- Maintenance-free design with supplier-stated self-discharge of less than 3% per month.
Applications
- Long-haul trucks, large diesel vehicles and heavy trucks requiring a 24V starter battery with 1000A to 2000A CCA.
- Commercial vehicles with peripheral electrical equipment used while the vehicle is stationary.
- Replacement for compatible 687, 688, 695 and 696 lead-acid battery formats where the required CCA and physical dimensions match.
Why Choose This Product?
This battery combines high cranking capability with 280Ah of nominal capacity for demanding commercial vehicle applications. The high-discharge LiFePO4 cells, automotive-grade BMS, reserve-capacity function and Bluetooth monitoring provide practical information and protection features for suitable 24V installations.
Important Notes
- Confirm the vehicle's 24V electrical requirement, required CCA, battery dimensions, terminal type and terminal orientation before ordering.
- Use within the specified 20V to 29.2V operating voltage range and -20°C to 70°C operating temperature range.
- Use the Red Pole battery selection tool to confirm a suitable battery for your vehicle.
- Bluetooth monitoring data can assist with monitoring battery condition, current flow and starting history; confirm any vehicle charging or electrical fault with a qualified technician.
- Warranty: 4 years.
