The Epoch 12V 50Ah Essential Series is a compact Bluetooth deep-cycle LiFePO4 battery that stores 640Wh (0.64kWh nominal) in a 14.3 lb BCI Group 22NF case. It is built for kayak anglers, small boaters, small RV and van systems, portable solar and DIY power boxes.
Stable LiFePO4 output, smart BMS protection, an IP54 dust- and splash-resistant enclosure and a 4,000+ cycle rating make it a maintenance-free upgrade from lead-acid. It is backed by an 11-year manufacturer warranty when registered within 90 days of purchase.
Key Features

- Equalization and temperature compensation disabled
- Recommended charge current 25A; maximum 50A from all sources combined
- Charge only between 0°C and 55°C (32°F and 131°F)
- For alternator charging, use a DC-to-DC charger programmed for LiFePO4
Suitable For:
- Kayak trolling motors drawing 50A or less continuous
- Fish finders, sonar, GPS and chartplotters

- 24V, 36V and 48V systems with up to 4 batteries in series
Please Note: Deep-cycle only: not a cranking battery and not for engine starting.
Please Note: No internal heating: the BMS blocks charging below 0°C (32°F); the battery can still discharge down to -20°C (-4°F).
Please Note: Keep continuous loads at or below 50A; 170A is a 3-second peak only.
Please Note: IP54 is not waterproof: do not submerge, pressure-wash or install where standing water can collect.
Please Note: Not a drop-in replacement for every lead-acid installation: check tray fit, terminal clearance, cable size, overcurrent protection and charger profile.
Please Note: Mount upright unless Epoch documentation for this model allows otherwise; install a fuse or DC-rated breaker close to the positive terminal.
