Need Help?

Our experts are here to help you find the lithium battery for your needs.

The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (model C24230A) is a 24V marine lithium battery: a 25.6V, 230Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) deep-cycle battery that stores 5,888Wh (5.89kWh) in a single case. It is made by Epoch Batteries, and Lithium Battery Supply sells it as an authorized Epoch dealer with Epoch's 11-year limited manufacturer warranty.

On the water, it is built for two jobs: running 24V trolling motors and powering 24V house banks on center consoles, bay boats, cruisers, sportfishers and liveaboard yachts. One battery replaces the two 12V batteries a 24V system normally needs, so there is no series jumper to corrode, one battery management system (BMS) to monitor, and fewer connections to inspect in a damp compartment.

For boat owners, three features matter most: native CAN communication with Victron GX devices on Victron-equipped vessels, Bluetooth monitoring through an included gauge you can mount at the helm, and self-heating for charging boats stored or launched in freezing weather. The same battery also suits 24V RV and off-grid systems. It is a deep-cycle battery, not a starting battery.

Check fit before ordering: 20.86 in L × 8.65 in W × 12.06 in H (height includes terminal posts), 97 lb. If you are replacing a Group 8D battery, compare these dimensions with your tray, hold-down and lid clearance. It does not fit Group 27 or Group 31 trays. Mounting bracket sold separately; plan for a two-person lift.

Features

5.89kWh in one 24V case

230Ah at 25.6V nominal works out to 5,888Wh of stored energy. On a boat, building the same energy from smaller batteries means more cases, more interconnects and more lugs exposed to salt air. A single C24230A keeps the bank simple, and you can still add batteries in parallel later as your electronics and house loads grow.

Capacity vs. current: what 230Ah and 110A mean

These two numbers describe different things. 230Ah is capacity, how much charge the battery holds. 110A is the maximum continuous current, how fast it can safely deliver or accept that charge. At 25.6V, 110A continuous is about 2,816W DC before inverter losses. The battery can supply up to 300A peak discharge for a short duration and accept up to 200A charge for a short duration; Epoch does not publish a fixed time for the 300A peak, so size your system around the 110A continuous rating.

Self-heating for cold-weather charging

Useful for boats stored, launched or fished in freezing weather: LiFePO4 cells should not be charged below 0°C (32°F). When a charge source is connected and the cells are too cold, the BMS holds off charging and uses power from that charge source to run an internal heater. Charging resumes automatically once the cells reach 5°C (41°F). With self-heating, Epoch rates charging from an ambient temperature of -30°C (-22°F). Discharge is rated from -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F). The heater works during charging only, so expect a short delay before charge current flows on a cold morning.

Bluetooth monitoring through the included gauge

Bluetooth runs through the external battery gauge that ships with the battery. Pair it with the Epoch Li-Ion app (iOS and Android) to see state of charge, voltage, current, individual cell voltages, temperatures, history and warnings, and to install firmware updates. Mount the gauge at the helm, console or cabin for at-a-glance state of charge without a phone.

Native CAN communication with Victron GX

The battery communicates over CAN bus at 500 kbit/s with compatible Victron GX devices such as the Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX and Cerbo GX Mk2. With DVCC enabled, the battery reports its status and sets the charge voltage and current limits that Victron chargers follow. A Victron GX device is required for this integration; inverters, chargers and solar controllers connect through the GX device, not directly to the battery. See the Victron & Charging tab for setup.

IP67 enclosure

The case is rated IP67: dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. That rating covers accidental exposure. It does not cover pressure washing, water jets or continuous submersion, so on a boat, mount it upright and secured in a compartment that stays dry in normal use, above bilge water and away from spray, with all harness connectors fully seated.

Smart BMS and internal fuse

The BMS protects against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short circuit and out-of-range temperature. A 270A internal fuse (UL 60691) adds a further layer of protection. The internal fuse does not replace system protection: install a DC-rated fuse or breaker near the battery positive, sized for your system.

Scalable banks

Connect up to 16 batteries in parallel for 3,680Ah at 24V, or 2 in series for a 51.2V nominal (48V-class) system. Use matched C24230A batteries of the same age and state of charge.

Long rated life, low upkeep

Epoch rates the C24230A for 3,500+ cycles. There is no watering or equalizing; periodic inspection and terminal torque checks (8–12 N·m) are all the routine care it needs. Self-discharge is rated at 3% per month or less.

Marine Systems

24V trolling motors

A single C24230A replaces the two 12V batteries a 24V trolling motor normally runs on. Connect the motor's positive lead to the battery positive and its negative lead to the battery negative; no series jumper is needed. Check your motor's maximum current draw in its manual and confirm it stays within 110A continuous. At 230Ah, one battery gives a long day on the water with reserve for multi-day trips or electronics on the same bank. Plan for the 8D-class footprint and 97 lb weight compared with Group 27 or Group 31 batteries.

24V house banks

On center consoles, bay boats, cruisers, sportfishers and liveaboard vessels, the C24230A powers house loads such as chartplotters, sonar, radar, livewell and bilge pumps, refrigeration, lighting and inverter circuits. Each battery adds 5.89kWh, and up to 16 can run in parallel. Larger inverter loads, such as galley appliances or air conditioning, may need two or more batteries so each stays within its 110A continuous rating.

Victron-equipped yachts and cruisers

On boats with a Victron GX device (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX Mk2), the battery reports its state of charge and charge limits over CAN bus. With DVCC on, the MultiPlus or Quattro, MPPT solar controllers and other Victron chargers follow the battery's limits, and bank data appears on the GX display. See the Victron & Charging tab for setup.

Charging on board

Shore power chargers, inverter-chargers and solar controllers must be programmed to Epoch's LiFePO4 settings. For engine charging from an outboard or inboard alternator, use a DC-DC charger or an alternator regulator set up for lithium, and follow the engine or alternator manufacturer's guidance.

Marine installation notes
  • Mount upright and secure the battery against vibration and wave impact.
  • Choose a dry, ventilated compartment above bilge water and away from spray. IP67 covers temporary immersion, not continuous submersion or washdown.
  • Follow ABYC E-11 for conductor sizing and place a DC-rated fuse or breaker close to the battery positive.
  • Use marine-grade tinned copper cable and keep terminal covers fitted.
Beyond the boat

The same battery also serves 24V RV, overland, off-grid solar and backup systems. See the Applications tab for the full list.

Planning runtime

Epoch's technical data sheet plans runtime on 80% of nominal energy (4,710Wh, or 184Ah), which leaves a reserve for battery life and cold conditions. Estimated runtime for a constant DC load at the battery terminals:

Constant DC load Estimated runtime
100W about 47 hours
250W about 19 hours
500W about 9.4 hours
1,000W about 4.7 hours
1,500W about 3.1 hours
2,000W about 2.4 hours
2,816W (110A continuous) about 1.7 hours
Constant DC current Estimated runtime (184Ah)
5A about 36.8 hours
10A about 18.4 hours
25A about 7.4 hours
50A about 3.7 hours
100A about 1.8 hours
110A about 1.7 hours

These are planning estimates, not guarantees. Inverter losses, cable losses, temperature and changing loads reduce real-world runtime.

Not intended for
  • Engine starting or cranking (this is a deep-cycle battery)
  • 12V systems (this is a 24V battery)
  • Mixing with other battery brands, models or chemistries in the same bank

Do not use lead-acid, AGM or gel profiles, equalization, desulfation or repair modes. The battery's operating voltage range is 20.0V to 29.2V; never charge above 29.2V.

Connecting to a Victron GX device
  1. Set the 8 DIP switches on every battery. A single battery uses the standalone setting (switches 1, 2 and 4 ON); banks use the Master, slave and position settings in Epoch's technical data sheet and user manual.
  2. Insert the communication harness (the end with the waterproof plug) into the blue port of the battery set as Master.
  3. For a bank, link batteries with RJ45 cables: Master black port to the next battery's blue port, and so on, up to 16 batteries in parallel. Battery-to-battery RJ45 cables are not listed in the box contents.
  4. Connect the harness's grey RJ45 plug to the GX device: the BMS-CAN port on a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX, or VE.Can 1 or VE.Can 2 on a Cerbo GX Mk2. On a VE.Can port, set the port speed to 500 kbit/s under Settings > Services > VE.Can.
  5. Switch on the batteries.
  6. On the GX device, turn on DVCC and set both the controlling BMS and the battery monitor to Epoch.
  7. Confirm the Epoch battery appears in the device list, the modules-online count matches the number of batteries, and the installed capacity equals 230Ah per battery (e.g., 920Ah for four).
  8. Program the manual fallback settings above into the MultiPlus, Quattro and every other charge source.

While charging, the inverter tile on the GX display shows "External control." That is normal and means the battery is managing the charge limits.

Inverter sizing

DC current from the battery is roughly the AC load divided by (battery voltage × inverter efficiency). For example, assuming 90% efficiency, a 1,500W load draws about 1,500 ÷ (25.6 × 0.90) ≈ 65A, within one battery's rating. A 3,000W load draws about 130A, which exceeds 110A continuous, so it calls for at least two batteries in parallel. Check your inverter's maximum continuous DC input current, and size cables, fusing and disconnects for the full system current.

Bank sizing
Batteries in parallel (24V) Bank capacity Nominal energy
1 230Ah 5.89kWh
2 460Ah 11.78kWh
4 920Ah 23.55kWh
8 1,840Ah 47.10kWh
16 (maximum) 3,680Ah 94.21kWh

Wire parallel banks to positive and negative busbars with equal-length battery cables so current shares evenly between batteries.

Two batteries in series form a 51.2V nominal string (58.4V at full charge); every charger, inverter, fuse and conductor must be rated for that voltage. Epoch's published DIP switch settings do not cover series-parallel arrays, so contact Epoch before designing one.

Compatibility

Will it fit?

The battery measures 20.86 in L × 8.65 in W × 12.06 in H (529.8 × 219.8 × 306.3 mm) and weighs 97 lb. If you are replacing a Group 8D battery, compare these dimensions with your tray, hold-down and lid clearance, and allow extra space above the lid for cable lugs, bend radius and service access (the 12.06 in height includes the terminal posts). Viewed from the top, the negative terminal is on the left and the positive (red) on the right. It will not fit Group 27 or Group 31 trays. Install it upright. The optional Epoch V2 & V2-T Mounting Hardware (8D battery bracket) is sold separately and fastens to threaded inserts on the case. Plan for a two-person lift.

What's in the box
  • C24230A battery
  • Communication harness (for Victron GX connection)
  • Battery gauge with Bluetooth (mountable)
  • Mountable ON/OFF switch

Per Epoch's V02 technical data sheet. The battery also has its own power button. Not included: mounting bracket (optional Epoch V2 & V2-T Mounting Hardware, sold separately), battery cables, battery-to-battery RJ45 cables for banks, fuses and chargers. Epoch notes that supplied hardware may vary by production revision.

Chargers and solar controllers

Any 24V charger, inverter-charger, solar charge controller or DC-DC charger works if it can be programmed to Epoch's values: 28.4V bulk/absorption, 27.0V float, 26.6V re-bulk, equalization off, temperature compensation off, and no more than 110A continuous per battery from all sources combined. If your current charger only offers lead-acid, AGM or gel profiles, it will need to be replaced.

Victron equipment

CAN integration requires a compatible Victron GX device (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX Mk2). Victron inverter-chargers, MPPT controllers and other chargers follow the battery's limits through the GX device under DVCC. Without a GX device, the battery still works with Victron chargers programmed manually to the settings above.

Trolling motors

Compatible with 24V trolling motors whose maximum current draw stays within 110A continuous. Not for 12V or 36V motors without a separate voltage solution.

Installation and safety
  • Install a DC-rated fuse or breaker as close to the battery positive as practical, sized for your system's maximum current; on boats, follow ABYC E-11 for conductor sizing and overcurrent protection.
  • Size cables, busbars and disconnects for the full system current: up to 110A continuous per battery, more in parallel banks.
  • Torque the M8 terminals to 8–12 N·m (71–106 lbf·in), keep terminal covers fitted, and recheck periodically.
  • In parallel banks, use busbars and equal-length battery cables.
  • Design the system so the BMS does not trip in normal use; protection thresholds are safety limits, not operating targets.
  • Secure the battery against movement and vibration, upright, in a dry location away from standing water and spray.
  • Use marine-grade tinned copper cable in saltwater environments.
  • Secure the battery against wave impact as well as vibration on boats.
  • For fire, Epoch specifies a Class D extinguisher, sand or dry powder.
  • Read Epoch's user manual and safety data sheet before installation, or have a qualified installer complete the work.

FAQ

Yes, if your tray can take it. Two 12V batteries in series make 24V; this is a single 25.6V nominal battery, so you connect the motor's positive lead to the battery positive and the negative lead to the battery negative, with no jumper between batteries. Confirm the 20.86 × 8.65 × 12.06 in footprint and 97 lb weight suit your boat, and check that your motor's maximum current draw is within 110A continuous.

Divide usable amp-hours by your motor's average current draw. Using 80% of capacity as a planning figure gives about 184Ah. Epoch's data sheet estimates about 7.4 hours at a constant 25A and 3.7 hours at 50A; a motor averaging 30A would run roughly 184 ÷ 30 ≈ 6 hours. Your motor's manual lists its current draw by speed; wind, current, hull weight and speed setting all change real-world results.

For many day trips, yes, and that reserve is the point for anglers who fish multiple days without shore power or run electronics off the same bank. The trade-offs are the 8D-class footprint and 97 lb weight. If space or weight is the priority, call us and we will help you size a smaller 24V option.

Often, but measure first. Compare 20.86 in L × 8.65 in W × 12.06 in H (529.8 × 219.8 × 306.3 mm) with your tray, hold-down and lid clearance, and allow room for cables above the terminals. It will not fit Group 27 or Group 31 trays. Epoch's V2 & V2-T Mounting Hardware (8D bracket) is sold separately.

It carries an IP67 rating: dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion to 1 meter for 30 minutes. That covers accidental exposure, not pressure washing, water jets or continuous submersion. Mount it upright and secured, in a dry, ventilated compartment away from standing water and spray, with harness connectors fully seated.

Yes, through the right equipment. Epoch specifies a DC-DC charger, or an alternator regulator set up for lithium, rather than connecting the alternator directly. Follow the engine or alternator manufacturer's guidance, and keep total charge current within 110A continuous per battery.

Set the DIP switches on each battery per Epoch's manual, plug the communication harness into the Master battery's blue port, and connect the harness's grey RJ45 plug to the GX device's BMS-CAN port (on a Cerbo GX Mk2, use VE.Can 1 or 2 at 500 kbit/s). For a bank, chain batteries from black port to the next battery's blue port, up to 16. Then turn on DVCC and set the controlling BMS and battery monitor to Epoch. Also program the fallback charge settings into every charge source.

For a 24V off-grid cabin, yes. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) stores 5.89kWh per battery and scales to 16 batteries in parallel (3,680Ah, about 94.21kWh). Self-heating lets it accept solar or generator charging in freezing weather, down to -30°C (-22°F) ambient, as long as a charge source is connected. One battery supplies up to 110A continuous, about 2,816W DC, so larger inverters need two or more batteries in parallel. As a planning example, a 500W average load runs about 9.4 hours from one battery. Pair it with a 24V inverter-charger and solar charge controller programmed to Epoch's LiFePO4 settings.

Yes. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) works with any 24V MPPT solar charge controller or inverter-charger that can be programmed to Epoch's values: 28.4V bulk/absorption, 27.0V float, 26.6V re-bulk, equalization and temperature compensation disabled, and no more than 110A continuous charge per battery from all sources combined. In Victron systems with a GX device, Victron MPPT controllers follow the battery's charge limits automatically through DVCC.

Yes, for 24V RV house systems in Class A and Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) provides 5.89kWh in one case, Bluetooth monitoring through an included gauge, and native Victron CAN communication. Charge from the vehicle alternator through a DC-DC charger or a lithium-configured alternator regulator. Check that your battery bay fits 20.86 × 8.65 × 12.06 in and 97 lb, and plan two or more batteries in parallel for inverter loads above about 2,800W DC.

It can, if your build uses a 24V electrical system and has room for it. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) measures 20.86 × 8.65 × 12.06 in, weighs 97 lb and must be installed upright and secured against vibration. Its self-heating helps when charging in cold camps, and the Bluetooth gauge shows state of charge, cell voltages and temperatures in the Epoch Li-Ion app. Vans built on 12V systems need a 12V battery instead.

For 24V backup systems, it is a strong fit. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) stores 5.89kWh per battery, about 4.7 hours at a steady 1,000W load using Epoch's 80% planning figure, and banks scale to 16 batteries. Its cells are tested to UL 1642, UL 9540A and IEC 62619:2022, and the pack to UL 1973. Residential stationary installations can be subject to local electrical and fire codes, so confirm requirements with your installer or authority having jurisdiction before installing.

Yes, as a 24V house battery. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) powers house loads, electronics and inverter circuits, and integrates with Victron GX systems common on cruising boats. It must be installed upright and secured against vibration and wave impact, in a dry, ventilated compartment. Its IP67 enclosure covers temporary immersion (1 m for 30 minutes), not continuous submersion or washdown. Follow ABYC E-11 for cabling and overcurrent protection.

Yes. The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) has internal self-heating: when a charge source is connected and the cells are below 0°C (32°F), the heater warms them and charging resumes at 5°C (41°F). Epoch rates charging from -30°C (-22°F) ambient and discharge down to -20°C (-4°F). The heater runs on charge-source power, not during storage. For storage, Epoch specifies 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F) for up to a year, or -20 to 45°C (-4 to 113°F) for up to a month.

Yes. Epoch lists communications backup and remote power among the applications for The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A). Low self-consumption (20mA powered on, 200µA powered off) and self-discharge of 3% per month or less suit standby use. As a planning example, a steady 100W load runs about 47 hours from one battery.

Choose by your system voltage. Epoch's V2 Elite line offers the 12V 460Ah and 24V 230Ah, both 5.89kWh and 97 lb, and the 48V 100Ah at 5.12kWh. All three have Bluetooth, self-heating and Victron communication. Use the 24V 230Ah for 24V trolling motors, 24V boats, RVs and 24V off-grid systems; a 12V system needs the 12V model and a 48V system the 48V model.

The Epoch 24V 230Ah V2 Elite (C24230A) is not the right fit for engine starting (it is a deep-cycle battery), for 12V or 36V systems, for trays smaller than about 21 × 9 × 12 in such as Group 27 or Group 31, or where 97 lb is too heavy, such as small boats and kayaks. A single battery is also limited to 110A continuous, so loads above that need two or more in parallel. Call Lithium Battery Supply for help choosing a smaller 24V option.

230Ah is capacity: how much charge the battery stores (5,888Wh at 25.6V). 110A is the maximum continuous current the battery can deliver or accept. The battery can supply 300A peak discharge and accept 200A charge for short durations, but your system should be designed around 110A continuous per battery.

Only if it can be programmed for LiFePO4 to Epoch's settings: 28.4V bulk/absorption (at least 15 minutes per battery in the bank), 27.0V float, 26.6V re-bulk, equalization disabled, temperature compensation disabled, and no more than 110A continuous per battery. Lead-acid, AGM and gel profiles, desulfation and equalization modes should not be used.

Yes, with a charge source connected. Below 0°C (32°F) cell temperature, the BMS holds off charging while an internal heater, powered by the charge source, warms the cells; charging resumes automatically once the cells reach 5°C (41°F). Epoch rates charging with self-heating from -30°C (-22°F) ambient. Expect a delay before charge current flows. The heater does not run on battery power during storage or discharge. Discharge is rated down to -20°C (-4°F).

One battery is rated for 110A continuous, about 2,816W DC at 25.6V before inverter losses. Estimate DC current as AC watts ÷ (25.6 × inverter efficiency). At 90% efficiency, 1,500W draws about 65A (within one battery's rating) and 3,000W draws about 130A (needs at least two batteries in parallel). Check your inverter's maximum continuous DC input current as well.

Yes. Up to 16 in parallel for a 24V bank of up to 3,680Ah (about 94.21kWh), or 2 in series for a 51.2V nominal string. Use matched C24230A batteries of the same age and state of charge, set the DIP switches for the bank, and contact Epoch before designing a series-parallel array.

Size conductors and overcurrent protection for your system's maximum current: up to 110A continuous per battery, and more in parallel banks. On boats, follow ABYC E-11 ampacity tables and place a DC-rated fuse or breaker as close to the battery positive as practical. The battery's 270A internal fuse does not replace system fusing. A qualified marine or RV electrician can confirm sizing for your cable lengths.

LiFePO4 is one of the more thermally stable lithium chemistries, and unlike flooded lead-acid it does not vent hydrogen during normal charging. The BMS protects against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short circuit and temperature, and the case is UL94 V-0 rated material. Install it secured, ventilated and fused per the manual and applicable ABYC or RV standards.

No. The C24230A is a deep-cycle battery designed for house power and energy storage, not a cranking battery. Use a cranking-rated battery for engine starting.

Per Epoch's V02 technical data sheet: the C24230A battery, the communication harness, a mountable Bluetooth battery gauge and a mountable ON/OFF switch. The Epoch V2 & V2-T mounting bracket, battery cables, battery-to-battery RJ45 cables for banks, fuses and chargers are not included.

Bluetooth runs through the included battery gauge and connects to the Epoch Li-Ion app for iOS and Android. It shows state of charge, voltage, current, individual cell voltages, temperatures, history and warnings, and can install firmware updates. With several batteries, it also shows bank totals.

No watering or equalizing. Inspect connections periodically, recheck terminal torque at 8–12 N·m, and keep firmware current through the app. For storage, keep it within 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F) for up to a year, or -20 to 45°C (-4 to 113°F) for up to a month, and follow the storage guidance in Epoch's user manual. Self-discharge is rated at 3% per month or less.

Epoch rates the C24230A for 3,500+ cycles. Actual service life depends on depth of discharge, temperature, charge and discharge rates, and installation.

The C24230A carries Epoch's 11-year limited manufacturer warranty. Coverage terms, exclusions and registration requirements are set by Epoch; see our Warranty tab and Epoch's warranty page for the full terms, and keep your proof of purchase.

The upfront price is higher than a pair of lead-acid batteries. The comparison that matters is cost over time: Epoch rates the C24230A for 3,500+ cycles and backs it with an 11-year limited warranty, while lead-acid deep-cycle batteries generally need replacing much sooner, need watering or equalizing if flooded, and weigh more for the usable energy they provide. Divide each option's price by its expected years of service on your boat to compare.

No. This battery is classified UN 3480, Class 9 dangerous goods. Lithium Battery Supply ships it by ground within the contiguous United States.
