36V 100Ah / 100A Continuous Discharge LiFePO4 Battery with Bluetooth + RS485 + CAN bus – NEW BluEdge

The Amptron® BluEdge series batteries are our new premium battery range that raises the bar in quality and sophistication. These batteries are designed using only the highest quality components, with innovative features and a robust, tough and highly waterproof construction that meets the modern demand for reliable long-lasting deep cycle batteries. The design includes exceptionally long-life cells backed with a 5-year warranty, and a smart Battery Management system with integrated communication features including Bluetooth, CAN bus and RS485 interfaces.

The BluEdge series batteries are independently tested to comply with the IEC62619 safety standard and are UN38.3 certified. The batteries also comply with all the requirements of the AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 (“Connectable electrical installations and supply arrangements”) standard for RVs, as well as the marine standard AS/NZS 3004.2:2014 (“Electrical installations—Marinas and boats, Part 2: Boat installations”).Out focus on standards compliance gives you peace of mind for the safe, reliable, and compliant performance of the batteries.

Battery Features

Ultra Safe

The advanced Battery Management Safety System provides comprehensive protection to the battery with high precision configurable protection and monitoring features, that protect the battery and carefully manages the safe long-term performance of each individual cell and the battery pack (or a bank of inter-connected batteries).

THE BMS PROTECTION FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Low Voltage Protection Switch – Automatically disconnects the discharge circuit to prevent damage to the cells if the battery drains below a pre-set voltage.
• Over Voltage Protection Switch – Automatically disconnects the charging circuit to prevent damage to the cells if the battery is being charged above a pre-set voltage.
• Short Circuit and Over Current Protection Switch – Automatically disconnects the discharge circuit if the discharge current exceeds pre-set limits.
• Reverse Polarity Protection Switch – Automatically disconnects the charge and discharge circuits if a reverse polarity condition is detected.
• Thermal protection – Built-in thermal sensors will automatically disconnect the charge and discharge circuits when excessive temperatures are detected.

The system will also report any alarm and protection statuses through its communication interfaces to allow the user to trouble shoot and identify any issues.

The batteries are independently tested to comply with the IEC62619 safety standard, is 3 certified, and also comply with the requirements of the AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 Connectable electrical installations and supply arrangements standard. giving you peace of mind for the safe, reliable, and compliant performance of the batteries.

Really Smart Communication

The sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) not only takes care of the safe performance of the batteries, it also gathers detailed information on the battery, such as the Running State, State of Charge (SOC), Voltage, Current, Temperature, individual cell voltages, Alarm / Protection statuses etc. This information can then be accessed externally via Bluetooth with the Android or iOS app, or via the CANBUS and RS485 communication ports for integrated systems. In addition, several models can also consolidate the information of a bank of batteries through inter-connected links, allowing a single “host” battery to act as the communication gateway to the entire bank.

The CANBUS interface is compatible with various inverters, chargers and communication gateways, such as the Victron Multiplus and GX devices to provide enhanced integration.

Dry contact relay outputs are also available on some models, which can trigger an external signal in the event of an alarm condition in the batteries.

For professional installers requiring more advanced integration, the batteries can be connected to a PC via an RS485 communication port, allowing monitoring from PC based software with the ability to make certain advanced adjustments to the BMS parameters, or to develop customised integration via the RS485 communications protocol. The software and communication adapters are available from Amptron to qualified customers.

 External Colour Display

An optional colour screen display can be added to the battery system to display battery information. The display will connect to the batteries via the RS485 port and will visually display all key battery parameters to the user.

The display will also have an embedded audible alarm, that will be triggered in the event of a fault/alarm condition. This can be also used to comply with the new marine AS/NZS 3004.2:2014 standard for Lithium-Ion batteries.

Long Life and Warranty

The cell cycle life has been enhanced by newer prismatic cell designs and improved cell management by the new BMS to maximise battery life. Depending on the model, these batteries offer a very long cycle life of between 4000 to 6000 cycles at 100% Depth of Discharge.

The BluEdge series is backed by an Australian based 5-year warranty.

Robust tough design

Enhanced shock and vibration protection is provided via enhanced framing around the cell packs to prevent internal movement of the cells and/or electronics that may result in failures or metal fatigue over time. This makes these models very suitable for applications in rough offroad conditions, marine environments, and industrial applications where a robust construction is required. Amptron takes steps to ensure that all internal wiring is protected, and high-quality internal connectors and bus bars are used so intermittent failure modes are not introduced in harsh environments.

Uncompromised Waterproofing

Amptron has designed a unique triple-layered moisture protection on all models with ABS cases. The triple-layered design provides three barriers against potential moisture ingress:

1. A method to inject the sealing adhesives in all seams to minimise the probability of small gaps/air pockets that may allow some moisture or moist air entering the battery case.
2. A second sealed layer is installed inside the battery case above the cells and electronics. Should any moisture find a way to penetrate the seams of the outer casing, then this sealed layer provides a second barrier to prevent moisture reaching the cells and electronics.
3. Additionally, the whole cell pack and electronics are wrapped in a sealed membrane. Even if any moisture finds a way to penetrate the above two barriers, or if any condensation should form internally in the battery case, then the membrane would protect moisture getting in contact with the cells or electronics.
