UltraMax 12V 100Ah Lifepo4 Battery (New Version) Unbox & Capacity Test

This is one of the latest lifepo4 battery offerings from UK battery manufacturers UltraMax
It is a 12.8V 100Ah lifepo4 that is using prismatic cells and a very nice BMS with Bluetooth and App.
In this video, I tear down the battery and am pleasantly surprised by what I see.

Appreciate your efforts. I love a good battery review and teardown.

[@DCGUY]

Thanks for watching! It's appreciated 😌

[@anaspatel3625]

Great video thanks. I've got the tiny Ultramax 12Ah and 10Ah batteries both can sustain over 18Ah without getting too warm unlike other knockoff brands. Batteries still going strong after 2 years of daily use.

[@DCGUY]

I am very happy with how my own battery has performed and this new offering with the prismatic cells will no doubt work well for many years to come.

[@BritishAnts]

I missed the price nut looks ok! ❤

[@DCGUY]

Retails at £449.09 & includes 10A charger but after 10% discount it drops to £404.18

[@rafflesnh]

What did you use to charge the battery with?

[@DCGUY]

I used a Noco 10A smart charger but I think these batteries include a charger, I just didn't get one with the battery they sent me.

[@rafflesnh]

@@DCGUY Thanks. I was hoping my CTEK MXS5 would work ok as it has 2 settings for a Lead Acid and AGM battery only. I see the Noco 10A specs states that it will charge Lithium Ion too, but the CTEK doesn't mention that, so guess I would need the UltraMax charger too.

[@DCGUY]

The charger that comes with the ultramax is a 10 amp but i see they do have other chargers on their website. You could use the charger you have set for AGM which will still charge the battery it just lacks the lifepo4 charge algorithms. Out of all my chargers i still prefer the Victron 30A

[@rafflesnh]

@@DCGUY Thanks for the Victron tip. I certainly looks more useful with the Bluetooth/Phone App and LiFePo charging capabilities. 👍

[@DCGUY]

Victron make good products 👌

[@daniellang8683]

Very expensive

[@DCGUY]

Depends what you are comparing these with. Cost more than Fogstar 105Ah but less than Ecotree and the Ultramax does include a charger which helps.
