Victron Lithium NG 12.8V/100Ah — Next Generation Smart LiFePO4 Battery (IP65)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Victron Lithium NG 12.8V/100Ah is the Next Generation Smart LiFePO4 battery — the high-end of the Victron lithium lineup, designed for residential energy storage, premium marine, and commercial off-grid systems. Unlike the drop-in SuperPack series, the NG requires an external Smart BMS but offers cell-level voltage and temperature monitoring, IP65 protection, and full system integration with Cerbo GX and VRM.
NG (Next Generation) vs Lithium Smart vs SuperPack — which one?
| Lithium NG (this product) | Lithium Smart | SuperPack | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMS | External (Smart BMS NG) | External (Smart BMS or VE.Bus BMS) | Built-in |
| Cell-level monitoring | Yes (voltage and temperature) | Yes | No |
| Enclosure rating | IP65 (water-resistant) | IP21 | IP21 |
| VRM integration | Yes (full) | Yes | Limited |
| Max single bank | 385kWh | ~80kWh | Limited by parallel count |
| Bracket / strap mount | Yes | Standard | Standard |
| Best for | Residential ESS, marine commercial, large off-grid | Off-grid systems, multi-bank setups | Drop-in retrofit, simple installs |
Why the Lithium NG series
- Next-generation cell technology — improved cycle life and energy density
- Cell-level voltage and temperature monitoring — spot weak cells before they cause issues
- IP65 enclosure — water-spray resistant, dust-tight
- Single bank up to 385kWh — substantially larger banks than previous generations
- Modular 12V/24V/48V — build banks at any system voltage
- Bracket and strap mounting — flexible installation options
- VRM Portal integration — full remote monitoring of cell-level data
- 5-year warranty
What this requires
Important: Unlike the SuperPack, the NG series requires an external Smart BMS NG and proper system integration. It's not a drop-in replacement. Typical NG installations include:
- Smart BMS NG (sold separately)
- Cerbo GX or Cerbo GX MK2 for system integration
- Compatible Victron inverter/charger (MultiPlus-II, Quattro-II, etc.)
- System design consultation strongly recommended
