A 200Ah lithium battery built for NZ conditions
If you're shopping for a 200Ah lithium battery, this is the one most of our customers end up with. The SOK 12V 206Ah gives you about 2,600 watt-hours of usable power, enough to run a compressor fridge, lights and a water pump and keep your phones charged for a couple of days off grid in most vans and boats.
It replaces a pair of 100Ah AGMs at well under half the weight, and you can use nearly all of its capacity instead of stopping at half like you should with lead acid.
Heated for South Island winters
LiFePO4 batteries can't be charged below 0°C without damage. This one has a built-in heater that warms the cells first, so your solar and DC to DC charger keep working on frosty mornings. If you're in Central Otago, the Mackenzie or anywhere it freezes, the heated version is the one to get.
Built to last
SOK make their own BMS and use LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,000 to 8,000 cycles. That's 10 years or more of daily use for most people. The IP65 sealed case handles dust, damp lockers and boat bilges, and it's backed by a 7 year warranty from us here in NZ.
Who it suits
- Campervans and motorhomes with a 12V compressor fridge and a small inverter
- Boats wanting a house battery that won't mind the damp
- Baches, sheds and small off grid cabins on 12V
- Anyone replacing two 100Ah AGM or gel batteries

FAQ
Is this a 200Ah lithium battery?
Yes. It's SOK's 200Ah class battery, rated at 206Ah, so you get a little more than a standard 200Ah.
Will it fit where my old batteries were?
Check the dimensions above against your battery box. It usually replaces two 100Ah AGMs in less space.
Can I charge it from my alternator?
Yes, through a DC to DC charger such as the Victron Orion XS. Don't connect lithium straight to an alternator.
Can I run two in parallel?
Yes, for 412Ah at 12V. Use equal length cables and a busbar.
What charger settings do I use?
Charge to 14.4 to 14.6V. Give us a call on 022 502 2377 if you'd like a hand setting up your charger.
