Epoch 12V 460Ah V2 Elite Series C12460A | LiFePO4 Battery (5.89kWh) | Heated, Bluetooth, IP67, Victron Can

The Epoch 12V 460Ah V2 Elite Series (C12460A) is a 12.8V LiFePO4 battery with 460Ah and 5,888Wh (5.89kWh) of nominal stored energy in one managed case with one BMS, so a large house bank needs fewer interconnects and cleaner routing than a bank of smaller batteries. It is a deep-cycle battery for house power and energy storage, not engine starting.

Native Victron CAN communication, an IP67 dust-tight and immersion-rated case, internal self-heating, Bluetooth monitoring and 230A continuous output make it a single-case alternative to wiring several smaller batteries together for serious RV, marine and off-grid solar systems. It is backed by an 11-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Key Features

• 12V 460Ah, 5.89kWh: 12.8V nominal, 460Ah and 5,888Wh of nominal stored energy in one managed case with one BMS. A deep-cycle battery for house power and energy storage, not engine starting.
• Dimensions and fit: 20.86 in L x 8.65 in W x 12.06 in H (529.8 x 219.8 x 306.3 mm; the height includes the terminal posts), 97 lb (approx. 44 kg). Install it upright. Replacing a Group 8D lead-acid battery? Confirm tray fit, hold-down and lid clearance first; the optional Epoch V2 & V2-T Mounting Hardware (8D battery bracket, sold separately) fastens to the six M8 nuts on the case.
• Native Victron communications: CAN bus at 500 kbit/s to a compatible Victron GX device (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX Mk2). The battery reports its status and charge limits, and with DVCC on it sets the charge voltage and current limits of Victron chargers. The communication harness is included; set the DIP switches and GX settings per the manual.
• Elite performance: 230A continuous discharge and 230A continuous charge (0.5C, also the recommended rate), about 2,944W DC at 12.8V before inverter losses. Peak discharge of 500A for 30 seconds and 1,300A for 1 second for inverter surge; up to 400A charge for 5 seconds.
• Bluetooth battery intelligence: Bluetooth 4.0 through the included battery gauge. The Epoch Li-Ion app (iOS and Android) shows state of charge, voltage, current, cell voltages, temperatures, history and warnings, and installs firmware updates over the air. External power button and battery gauge included.
• Heated for extreme climates: LiFePO4 cells must not be charged below 0°C (32°F). When a charger is connected and the cells are too cold, the BMS holds off charging while the internal heater, powered by the charge source, warms them; charging resumes at 5°C (41°F). With self-heating, charging is supported from -30°C (-22°F) ambient. Discharge works down to -20°C (-4°F).
• IP67 rated enclosure: Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in up to 1 m of water for 30 minutes. Not rated for water jets, pressure washing or continuous submersion: install it where it stays dry in normal use, with all harness connectors fully seated.
• Scalable banks: Up to 16 batteries in parallel (7,360Ah, 94.21kWh) or up to 4 in series (51.2V nominal), using matched C12460A batteries of the same age, capacity and state of charge. Series-parallel arrays are not covered by the published DIP switch settings; contact Epoch before designing one.
• Advanced smart BMS and certifications: Over/under-voltage, overcurrent, short-circuit and high/low temperature protection, and a 400A internal fuse (UL 60691). UL 1642, UL 9540A and IEC 62619:2022 cells; CE and RoHS. The internal fuse does not replace system protection: install a DC-rated fuse or breaker close to the battery positive.
• 3,500+ cycles and 11-year warranty: 3,500+ cycles to 70% remaining capacity at 25°C. Maintenance-free: no watering or equalizing, though regular inspection and 8-12 N·m terminal torque checks keep the system safe. Backed by an 11-year limited manufacturer warranty; register within 90 days of purchase.

Seamless Victron CANbus Communication

A premium 12V battery for Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX and compatible Victron-based power systems.

For advanced RV, marine and off-grid installers, Victron integration is one of the biggest reasons to choose the V2 Elite. The battery's BMS CAN communication connects with compatible Victron GX devices, so your system sees battery status, alarms and BMS-managed charging behavior from the Victron ecosystem.

Configured with the proper cable, DIP switch settings and DVCC setup, it reduces guesswork in complex power systems while still giving you app-based Bluetooth monitoring as a secondary battery dashboard.

• Massive 5.89kWh in a single case: Instead of building a bank from four or more smaller 100Ah-class batteries, you get 5,888Wh / 5.89kWh of nominal stored energy in one 20.86 x 8.65 x 12.06 in case with one BMS. Fewer batteries means fewer interconnect cables, fewer resistance points, cleaner routing and more usable cargo space in an RV, boat, van or off-grid enclosure.
• Built-in heating for sub-zero environments: LiFePO4 cells must not be charged below 0°C (32°F). When shore power, solar, an alternator charger or an inverter/charger starts charging and the cells are too cold, the BMS holds off normal charging while the internal heater, powered by the charge source, warms the cells; charging resumes once they reach 5°C (41°F). With self-heating, charging is supported from -30°C (-22°F) ambient, and discharge is available down to -20°C (-4°F) without heating.
• IP67 enclosure and Bluetooth monitoring: The sealed IP67 case is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in up to 1 m of water for 30 minutes. It is not rated for water jets, pressure washing or continuous submersion, so install it where it stays dry in normal use, with all harness connectors fully seated. Bluetooth 4.0 monitoring through the included battery gauge shows state of charge, voltage, current, cell voltages, temperatures and warnings in the Epoch Li-Ion app, which also installs firmware updates over the air.

Built for High-Intent Technical Installations

Native Victron CANbus comms, Bluetooth visibility and one large-format BMS-managed pack.

The V2 Elite is not just a high-capacity battery. It is a system component for premium power builds where communication, monitoring, IP67 sealing, cold-weather charging, safety components and clean installation matter. Use it as the center of a serious 12V RV battery upgrade, 12V marine lithium bank or off-grid 12V solar battery system.

Fitment, Charging and Victron Setup Note

Verify the full electrical system before installation.

Always confirm tray fit, hold-down and lid clearance (especially when replacing a Group 8D lead-acid battery), cable clearance, terminal torque (8-12 N·m), inverter size, overcurrent protection (a DC-rated fuse or breaker close to the battery positive; the internal 400A fuse does not replace it), busbar ratings, charger compatibility, alternator charging strategy and communication setup before installation. For Victron-integrated systems, follow Epoch's communication harness, DIP switch, DVCC and GX device setup instructions. For series or parallel banks, use matched batteries of the same model, age, capacity and state of charge.

What Can It Run?

Planning estimates for a single 5.89kWh battery, using 80% of nominal energy (about 4,710 Wh).

Estimates are for a constant DC load at the battery terminals and use 80% of nominal energy, a planning figure that leaves reserve for battery life and cold conditions. Inverter losses, cable losses and temperature reduce runtime.
