Ask any full-time tourer to tell you about some of the biggest challenges while travelling the country and you’ll likely find their answer has something to do with 12V power and space. Our 105Ah Slimline Lithium Batteries look to solve both these problems.

Built into a narrow 50mm heavy-duty aluminium case, the batteries are ideally suited to being mounted behind the rear seats in a 4×4 cab, or up on the wall of a canopy, allowing you plenty of extra space to pack the rest of your gear. The batteries can be mounted in any orientation and come with eight brackets, giving you plenty of flexibility in how you decide to mount the unit.

Engineered using high-quality aluminium-encased prismatic cells, our 105Ah battery weighs just 14kg and has excellent vibration resistance qualities making it ideal for those looking to set out on a cross-country trip. The battery has a full 105Ah of usable power – ideal for running 12V fridges, lighting, and pumps – but also has the capacity to run even larger items.

Equipped with an advanced internal Battery Management System (BMS), the battery is capable of discharging at 200A continuous which means that it’s able to run a 2000W inverter. This enables the battery to run, through an inverter, your favourite 240V appliances like coffee machines, toasters, and induction cooktops, without skipping a beat – a feat that hasn’t previously been possible with batteries at this size. Additionally, the BMS allows the batteries to be able to be either linked in parallel or series with up to four other batteries to create larger battery banks of up to 420Ah or systems at up to 48V.

The batteries are certified in accordance with some of the country’s most stringent safety and performance standards, have been fully tested and certified by an internationally renowned lab, and are backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

  • UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
  • IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
  • IEC 62619:2022: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:
  • ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
  • ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

More usable power, longer life

When comparing batteries it is vitally important to understand the difference between nominal and C20 capacity. To reduce confusion and help to standardise the measurement of battery capacity, most reputable battery manufacturers will quote the capacity of their battery in amp-hours at C20 (also written as C/20), which means the number of amps the battery can deliver if discharged at a constant rate over a period of 20 hours. Using this standard, a fully-charged battery with a capacity of 100Ah could deliver 5A of current per hour for a period of 20 hours before becoming fully discharged (5A x 20h).

Some disreputable manufacturers, however, will advertise the nominal capacity of their batteries and bury the C20 rating in the fine print. Nominal capacity has no practical application and can be up to 20% higher than the C20 rating, so a battery that is advertised as a 100Ah battery might only be able to deliver 80Ah or even less.

We value our good reputation, and will always quote the C20 rating (or even higher) as the battery’s capacity. This means you can be confident that the power we say our batteries can deliver is not inflated to mislead, create confusion or invite unfair comparisons.

Why upgrade to lithium?

  • Long cycle life: lasts up to 10x longer than Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries
  • More usable capacity: safely use up to 80% of usable capacity and 99% in an emergency (vs 50%/70% for SLA)
  • Fast charging: charges up to four times faster than an equivalent AGM battery
  • Light weight: About half the weight of an equivalent SLA battery
  • Environmentally friendly: Non-toxic, contains no acid, can be installed in any direction

Handy remote reset switch

The Battery Management System (BMS) inside all lithium batteries contains a protection circuit which trips if the voltage drops below a certain setpoint. In the case of Hardkorr batteries, it is set at 10.0V. This circuit prevents damage to the battery by putting it into a ‘sleep’ mode until it is reset.

In the past, resetting the battery after the over-discharge protection was activated was not easy. Whilst some battery chargers do contain a “wake-up” function, most people had to resort to applying a constant voltage above 12V across the terminals using jumper leads or home-made wires. This was fraught with danger; damage to appliances or the battery were not uncommon.

Our batteries provide an easy solution to this problem; simply connect our included remote reset switch to the socket on the top face of the battery and hold down the button for 5 seconds, and the over-discharge circuit will reset itself. The button can also be flush-mounted into your 12v setup if desired.

IP64 WATERPROOF & DUSTPROOF
AUTO-RESETTING SLEEP MODE

Our latest 200Ah lithium (LiFePO4) deep-cycle batteries are the most reliable, long-lasting batteries we have ever manufactured. With outstanding performance characteristics and full international certification, you’ll never be caught short of 12v power on your 4wding and camping adventures again!

These batteries are made using best-in-class robotic manufacturing processes with rigorous quality assurance (including serialised tracking) and pre-shipment cycle testing. We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That’s why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

Top-quality cells

Our 200Ah deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Wait… aren’t prismatic cells better?

Prismatic and cylindrical cells both have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Batteries which use prismatic cells are somewhat lighter than those with cylindrical cells, and are easier to manufacture due to having fewer connections between cells. Cylindrical cells, on the other hand, are usually more efficient in their energy usage, produce somewhat less heat and tend to be more reliable than their prismatic counterparts.

The improved cell reliability and efficiency of cylindrical cells are what made us decide, like Tesla and Rivian, to manufacture these batteries from cylindrical cells.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

  • UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
  • IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
  • IEC 62619:2022: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
  • CE: The batteries meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements
In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:
  • ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
  • ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

These batteries are made using best-in-class robotic manufacturing processes with rigorous quality assurance (including serialised tracking) and pre-shipment cycle testing. We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That’s why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

Top-quality cells

Our 100Ah deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Wait… aren’t prismatic cells better?

Prismatic and cylindrical cells both have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Batteries which use prismatic cells are somewhat lighter than those with cylindrical cells, and are easier to manufacture due to having fewer connections between cells. Cylindrical cells, on the other hand, are usually more efficient in their energy usage, produce somewhat less heat and tend to be more reliable than their prismatic counterparts.

The improved cell reliability and efficiency of cylindrical cells are what made us decide, like Tesla and Rivian, to manufacture these batteries from cylindrical cells.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

  • UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
  • IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
  • IEC 62619:2022: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
  • CE: The batteries meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements
In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:
  • ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
  • ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

More usable power, longer life

When comparing batteries it is vitally important to understand the difference between nominal and C20 capacity. To reduce confusion and help to standardise the measurement of battery capacity, most reputable battery manufacturers will quote the capacity of their battery in amp-hours at C20 (also written as C/20), which means the number of amps the battery can deliver if discharged at a constant rate over a period of 20 hours. Using this standard, a fully-charged battery with a capacity of 100Ah could deliver 5A of current per hour for a period of 20 hours before becoming fully discharged (5A x 20h).

Some disreputable manufacturers, however, will advertise the nominal capacity of their batteries and bury the C20 rating in the fine print. Nominal capacity has no practical application and can be up to 20% higher than the C20 rating, so a battery that is advertised as a 100Ah battery might only be able to deliver 80Ah or even less.

We value our good reputation, and will always quote the C20 rating (or even higher) as the battery’s capacity. This means you can be confident that the power we say our batteries can deliver is not inflated to mislead, create confusion or invite unfair comparisons.

Why upgrade to lithium?

  • Long cycle life: lasts up to 10x longer than Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries
  • More usable capacity: safely use up to 80% of usable capacity and 99% in an emergency (vs 50%/70% for SLA)
  • Fast charging: charges up to four times faster than an equivalent AGM battery
  • Light weight: About half the weight of an equivalent SLA battery
  • Environmentally friendly: Non-toxic, contains no acid, can be installed in any direction

Handy remote reset switch

The Battery Management System (BMS) inside all lithium batteries contains a protection circuit which trips if the voltage drops below a certain setpoint. In the case of Hardkorr batteries, it is set at 10.0V. This circuit prevents damage to the battery by putting it into a ‘sleep’ mode until it is reset.

In the past, resetting the battery after the over-discharge protection was activated was not easy. Whilst some battery chargers do contain a “wake-up” function, most people had to resort to applying a constant voltage above 12V across the terminals using jumper leads or home-made wires. This was fraught with danger; damage to appliances or the battery were not uncommon.

Our batteries provide an easy solution to this problem; simply connect our included remote reset switch to the socket on the top face of the battery and hold down the button for 5 seconds, and the over-discharge circuit will reset itself. The button can also be flush-mounted into your 12v setup if desired.

Our latest range of 135Ah lithium (LiFePO4) deep-cycle batteries are the most reliable, technologically-advanced batteries we have ever manufactured. With Bluetooth® monitoring, outstanding performance characteristics and full international certification, you’ll never be caught short of 12v power on your 4wding and camping adventures again! Best of all, we’ve packed 135Ah of usable power into a standard Group 27 (N70) size case, meaning they are compatible with standard-sized battery boxes and trays.

This model includes our latest innovation: the cells are wrapped in heating film, which is automatically switched on by the BMS when it detects the ambient temperature has dropped under 0°C. This means that, unlike other batteries on the market, you can continue to charge your battery even in freezing weather!

We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That’s why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

What makes these “cold climate” batteries?

In the past, people who went camping or 4wding in very cold weather knew to avoid charging their deep-cycle batteries if possible, and if they really needed to charge them, to do so at a much lower rate than normal.

All that has now changed with the introduction of our Cold Climate Lithium Batteries. These batteries contain a BMS-controlled heating film which will gently heat the cells when the battery detects the ambient temperature has dropped below 0°C, ensuring that the cells remain in the optimum charge temperature range. This means you can charge them as normal at ambient temperatures as low as -20°C.

The process is fully automatic, meaning you don’t have to think about turning on and off the cell heating and can focus on having a good time instead!

Top-quality cells

Our 135AH deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Wait… aren’t prismatic cells better?

Prismatic and cylindrical cells both have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Batteries which use prismatic cells are somewhat lighter than those with cylindrical cells, and are easier to manufacture due to having fewer connections between cells. Cylindrical cells, on the other hand, are usually more efficient in their energy usage, produce somewhat less heat and tend to be more reliable than their prismatic counterparts.

The improved cell reliability and efficiency of cylindrical cells are what made us decide, like Tesla and Rivian, to manufacture these batteries from cylindrical cells.

Our lithium batteries have been certified as meeting all required and optional international standards for performance and safety, including:

  • UN 38.3: Safety testing of lithium metal / lithium ion batteries in transport
  • IEC 62133-2:2017: Safety testing of portable lithium batteries under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse (including vibration test)
  • IEC 62619:2022: Safety testing of lithium batteries for industrial use
  • CE: The batteries meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements
In addition, our manufacturing facility has been certified in accordance with the following international standards:
  • ISO 9001: Ensures quality management systems have been implemented
  • ISO 14001: Ensures environmental management systems have been implemented

More usable power, longer life

When comparing batteries it is vitally important to understand the difference between nominal and C20 capacity. To reduce confusion and help to standardise the measurement of battery capacity, most reputable battery manufacturers will quote the capacity of their battery in amp-hours at C20 (also written as C/20), which means the number of amps the battery can deliver if discharged at a constant rate over a period of 20 hours. Using this standard, a fully-charged battery with a capacity of 100Ah could deliver 5A of current per hour for a period of 20 hours before becoming fully discharged (5A x 20h).

Some disreputable manufacturers, however, will advertise the nominal capacity of their batteries and bury the C20 rating in the fine print. Nominal capacity has no practical application and can be up to 20% higher than the C20 rating, so a battery that is advertised as a 120Ah battery might only be able to deliver 105Ah or even less.

We value our good reputation, and will always quote the C20 rating as the battery’s capacity. This means you can be confident that the power we say our batteries can deliver is not inflated to mislead, create confusion or invite unfair comparisons.

Why upgrade to lithium?

  • Long cycle life: lasts up to 10x longer than Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries
  • More usable capacity: safely use up to 70% of usable capacity and 99% in an emergency (vs 50%/70% for SLA)
  • Light weight: About half the weight of an equivalent SLA battery
  • Environmentally friendly: Non-toxic, contains no acid, can be installed in any direction

Handy remote reset switch

The Battery Management System (BMS) inside all lithium batteries contains a protection circuit which trips if the voltage drops below a certain setpoint. In the case of Hardkorr batteries, it is set at 10.0V. This circuit prevents damage to the battery by putting it into a ‘sleep’ mode until it is reset.

In the past, resetting the battery after the over-discharge protection was activated was not easy. Whilst some battery chargers do contain a “wake-up” function, most people had to resort to applying a constant voltage above 12V across the terminals using jumper leads or home-made wires. This was fraught with danger; damage to appliances or the battery were not uncommon.

Our batteries provide an easy solution to this problem; simply connect our included remote reset switch to the socket on the top face of the battery and hold down the button for 5 seconds, and the over-discharge circuit will reset itself. The button can also be flush-mounted into your 12v setup if desired.

With Bluetooth® monitoring, outstanding performance characteristics and full international certification, you’ll never be caught short of 12v power on your 4wding and camping adventures again! Best of all, we’ve packed 135Ah of usable power into a standard Group 27 (N70) size case, meaning they are compatible with standard-sized battery boxes and trays.

These batteries are made using best-in-class robotic manufacturing processes with rigorous quality assurance (including serialised tracking) and pre-shipment cycle testing. We even store the test report for each battery for later reference if needed. That’s why we can now confidently offer you a 5-year Australian warranty.

Top-quality cells

Our 135AH deep-cycle lithium batteries are constructed from the highest quality 26700 high-discharge cylindrical cells. The cells are carefully matched to ensure the difference in internal resistance is less than 1mΩ and voltage difference is less than 5mV. They are then ultrasonically welded using automated equipment to ensure a strong connection is made between each cell, and encased in custom-molded ABS plastic cell holders to ensure reliability and consistency even when subjected to shock and vibration.

Wait… aren’t prismatic cells better?

Prismatic and cylindrical cells both have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Batteries which use prismatic cells are somewhat lighter than those with cylindrical cells, and are easier to manufacture due to having fewer connections between cells. Cylindrical cells, on the other hand, are usually more efficient in their energy usage, produce somewhat less heat and tend to be more reliable than their prismatic counterparts.

The improved cell reliability and efficiency of cylindrical cells are what made us decide, like Tesla and Rivian, to manufacture these batteries from cylindrical cells.
