It delivers 5.89 kilowatt-hours of usable energy in a standard Group 8D footprint, the same space a single large AGM occupies, with a verified 4,000-cycle lifespan and an 11-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis battery is designed for boaters, RV owners, and off-grid power users who need reliable, high-capacity energy storage with a straightforward installation. It includes native Victron CAN-bus communication for automatic charge management across your entire Victron system, an internal heater rated to -22°F (-30°C), Bluetooth 4.0 monitoring from your phone, and a factory-integrated Eaton Class T fuse, no external fuse required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-alert\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV2-T vs. V2 - Important distinction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003eC12460A-A (V2-T)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the current production version released in 2026. It is not the same as the older C12460A (V2). The only difference between the two is the internal fuse. The V2-T integrates an Eaton Class T fuse (500A, 20kAIC at 160VDC) inside the IP67-sealed enclosure. No external source-protection fuse is needed. The V2 required one. Price is the same.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"epoch-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Marine Use. Sailboats, Trawlers, and Power Boats\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne V2-T provides the usable energy equivalent of approximately seven to eight Group 31 AGM batteries, at a fraction of the weight and in a fraction of the space. Boaters running Victron Multiplus or Quattro inverter\/chargers can connect the battery directly to the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX via CAN-bus. With DVCC enabled, the battery's BMS automatically manages charge parameters across all connected charge sources, shore power chargers, solar controllers, and DC-to-DC converters respond to the battery without manual voltage programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Eaton Class T fuse meets ABYC E-11 source-protection requirements directly from the factory. Professional installers no longer need to source and mount an external Class T fuse on each install. The fuse is user-serviceable and replaceable with a standard JJN-500 available from marine electrical suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500A peak discharge for 30 seconds handles bow thrusters, windlasses, and generator starting without pulling down navigation electronics. The IP67 rating handles the marine environment spray humidity, and incidental bilge moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"epoch-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFor RV Use. Boondocking and Full-Time Travel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single 460Ah battery replaces the usable capacity of five 100Ah lithium batteries, or a 6-battery AGM bank running at 50% depth of discharge. Full-time boondockers and extended-stay campers report that a single unit handles inverter loads, residential refrigerators, induction cooktops, and overnight draws without watching the state of charge monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluetooth module is mounted in the external gauge panel (not inside the case), which improves Bluetooth range through RV cabinetry. Check voltage, cell balance, temperature, and state of charge from the Epoch Cloud app on any iOS or Android phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-heating system activates automatically at 41°F (5°C) during a charge event, warming the cells to 50°F (10°C) before charge current flows. This allows safe charging in winter camping conditions down to -22°F (-30°C). No manual switches or timers needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf your RV uses a non-Victron converter or charger:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set absorption voltage to 14.2V, absorption time to 15 minutes, float voltage to 13.5V, and disable equalization and temperature compensation. Many older RV converters labeled as \"lithium compatible\" output a constant 14.6V without a proper charge profile, verify your charger uses a true CC\/CV profile before connecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"epoch-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Off-Grid and Solar Storage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe verified continuous charge rating of 210A at 25°C (0.45C) supports high-input solar systems and allows a depleted battery to recover in approximately 2.2 hours at maximum charge current. Up to 16 batteries can be connected in parallel on a single Victron-managed system, providing up to 94.24kWh of storage. The UL1973 certification covers stationary energy storage applications, including residential backup and small commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery can be mounted in any orientation, including on its side, because LiFePO4 chemistry uses a solid-state electrolyte with no liquid to leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ================================================================\n     TAB 2 — FEATURES\n================================================================ --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEaton Class T Fuse - Factory Installed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2-T integrates an Eaton JJN-500 Class T fuse rated at 500A with a 20,000A interrupting capacity at 160VDC, inside the IP67-sealed enclosure. This is the same fuse type that ABYC E-11 recommends for battery source protection in marine DC systems. It eliminates the need for an external source-protection fuse, shortens unfused conductor runs, and simplifies installation for both professional installers and self-installers. The fuse is user-serviceable and replaceable without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNative Victron CAN-Bus Communication - Plug and Play\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery communicates directly with Victron GX devices (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Cerbo MK2) over CAN-bus at 500 kbit\/s. Once connected and DVCC is enabled, the battery's BMS controls charge behavior across all connected Victron devices, inverter\/chargers, MPPT solar controllers, and DC-to-DC chargers all respond automatically. Real-time data visible in the GX device includes state of charge, voltage, current, temperature, and charge\/discharge limits. In most installations this also eliminates the need for a separate battery shunt (SmartShunt or BMV-712).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIP67 Waterproof and Dustproof Enclosure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated IP67, sealed against dust ingress and submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

The 230A continuous discharge rating supports sustained inverter loads up to approximately 2,500W at 12V. A typical 15,000 BTU RV air conditioner draws around 1,500W running and 3,000–4,500W at startup. A single 460Ah battery can handle the startup surge (500A peak for 30 seconds) and run the unit once it stabilizes. For sustained AC use over multiple hours, two batteries in parallel (920Ah, 460A continuous) is recommended for comfortable headroom.

Without Victron communication, the battery's internal BMS still provides full overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and temperature protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 8 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq8\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq8\"\u003eCan I mount this battery on its side?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. LiFePO4 batteries use a solid-state electrolyte, there is no liquid to leak or spill regardless of orientation. The V2-T can be installed upright, on either side, or in any orientation required by your installation. Secure the battery to prevent movement, especially in marine and RV applications where vibration and motion are constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 9 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq9\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq9\"\u003eHow many batteries can I run in parallel?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 16 batteries can be connected in parallel on a single managed system using the RJ45 daisy-chain communication harness included with each battery. At 16 units, total capacity is 7,360Ah \/ 94.24kWh at 12.8V. With Victron DVCC, all 16 batteries are managed as a unified bank. You can start with one battery and add more over time, each additional battery is simply daisy-chained into the communication network and recognized automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 10 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq10\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq10\"\u003eCan this battery start a generator or serve as a starter battery?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 1,300A peak discharge for 1 second and 500A for 30 seconds provide sufficient cranking current for most diesel and gas generators as well as marine engines in appropriate configurations. Many boaters and RV owners use the V2-T as a combined house and start battery. If your application requires a dedicated start battery in parallel, confirm that your battery combiner or isolator is rated for LiFePO4 chemistry and the current levels involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 11 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq11\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq11\"\u003eDoes the V2-T replace my Victron SmartShunt or BMV-712?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most installations, yes. The battery's internal shunt reports state of charge, voltage, current, and temperature directly to your Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX via CAN-bus with DVCC active. Many installers omit the external shunt entirely in V2-T builds. However, some experienced Victron users choose to retain an external shunt as an independent cross-reference for SOC accuracy validation, particularly in large banks where precise tracking is critical. This is a matter of preference rather than a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 12 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq12\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq12\"\u003eWhat is the correct continuous charge current — 210A or 230A?

This figure comes from Epoch's official Technical Bulletin for the C12460A-A, which supersedes any earlier manufacturer documents or third-party retailer listings. The 210A rating was established through multi-day thermal equilibrium testing, more than 4 days of continuous cycling, not a brief bench test. The continuous discharge rating remains 230A. If you see 230A listed for continuous charge on other sites, that reflects an outdated specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ 13 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"faq13\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"faq13\"\u003eHow heavy is the battery, and can one person install it?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2-T weighs 97 lbs (44 kg).

Is that safe to use with this battery?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epoch-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily. Many older RV converters with a \"lithium\" preset simply output a constant 14.6V indefinitely, this is not a proper LiFePO4 charge profile. A correct profile applies a timed absorption phase at 14.2V (approximately 15 minutes) followed by a float phase at 13.5V. Holding 14.6V continuously on a LiFePO4 battery can stress the cells over time. Check your converter's documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm it produces a true CC\/CV profile with timed absorption and a lower float voltage before using it with this battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Epoch Batteries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47666071929090,"sku":"C12460A-A","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3660\/5442\/files\/Epoch_12V_460Ah_V2-T_Elite_Battery.png?v=1776308456","url":"https:\/\/www.lithiumbatterysupply.com\/products\/epoch-12v-460ah-v2-t-elite-lifepo4-heated-bluetooth-ip67","provider":"Lithium Battery Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
