Built for High-Demand 12V Systems

The Drift Gen2 12V 230Ah is well suited to electrical systems running larger inverters, refrigeration, lighting, pumps, communications equipment and other demanding DC or AC loads. Its 300A Smart BMS supports high continuous discharge capability while protecting the battery against unsuitable operating conditions.

With 2,944Wh of usable battery capacity, it provides significantly more stored energy than a conventional lead-acid leisure battery of similar physical size, while LiFePO4 chemistry offers lower weight, deeper usable capacity and a much longer cycle life.

Accurate Monitoring and Active Balancing

The Gen2 platform incorporates a 0.2A-accuracy shunt for improved current measurement and state-of-charge reporting. This provides more useful battery data when monitoring energy consumption, charging performance and remaining capacity.

An integrated active cell balancer helps keep individual cells closely matched during operation, supporting consistent battery performance and long-term cell health across repeated charge and discharge cycles.

Bluetooth Monitoring

Built-in Bluetooth allows battery data to be viewed through the Fogstar Drift App on compatible iOS and Android devices. Users can monitor key operating information including voltage, current, state of charge and battery temperature without requiring an additional battery monitor.

Technical Specifications

Cold-Weather Charging Protection

Integrated low-temperature heating allows the battery to protect itself when charging conditions are too cold for safe LiFePO4 operation. The internal heater warms the cells before charging, making the battery better suited to winter campervan use, marine installations, outdoor lockers and off-grid systems exposed to low ambient temperatures.

IP67 Protection for Marine and Mobile Installations

An IP67-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, giving the battery greater flexibility in demanding installations. This is particularly useful in boats, campervans, motorhomes and off-grid applications where batteries may be installed in damp lockers or areas exposed to harsher environmental conditions.

Series and Parallel Configuration

Parallel operation allows total storage capacity to be expanded for larger off-grid or leisure electrical systems. Series capability also provides a route to higher-voltage installations where the appropriate series-compatible configuration and communication support are used.

Victron System Integration

The Drift Gen2 range supports integration with compatible Victron electrical systems, making it suitable for campervan, marine and off-grid installations built around Victron inverter/chargers, monitoring equipment and solar charge controllers. This can provide cleaner system communication and more accurate battery information within a properly configured installation.

Typical Applications

• Campervan and van conversion electrical systems
• Motorhome lithium leisure battery upgrades
• Marine and boat electrical systems
• Off-grid solar battery storage
• Cabins and remote buildings
• High-power inverter systems
• Backup power systems
• DIY solar systems
• 12V renewable energy installations
• Expandable 24V and 48V battery banks using supported configurations

Why Choose This Product?

The Fogstar Drift 12V 230Ah Gen2 combines substantial energy storage with a high-current 300A BMS, making it suitable for systems where both runtime and power delivery matter. Premium EVE cells, active balancing, accurate shunt monitoring and Bluetooth connectivity give users greater visibility and control than a basic lithium leisure battery.

Integrated heating, IP67 protection and Victron compatibility make it particularly attractive for campervan, motorhome, marine and off-grid solar installations where the battery may need to operate reliably across changing environments. A 10-year warranty provides additional confidence for long-term use.
