Large-Capacity 12V Lithium Power

The Drift Gen2 12V 460Ah provides 5.888kWh of stored energy from a single 12V battery, making it well suited to larger campervan, motorhome, marine and off-grid electrical systems. Its high capacity can reduce the need to install multiple smaller batteries, helping simplify system design where installation space allows.

A maximum continuous discharge rating of 300A provides the current required for powerful inverter systems and demanding DC loads. This makes the battery suitable for installations running equipment such as refrigeration, cooking appliances through an inverter, pumps, lighting, communications equipment and other high-consumption devices.

300A Smart BMS and Active Cell Balancing

The integrated 300A Smart Battery Management System monitors and protects the battery while allowing substantial continuous power delivery. It incorporates a 0.2A-accuracy shunt for more precise current measurement and improved state-of-charge reporting.

Active cell balancing helps keep individual cell voltages closely matched throughout the battery pack. This supports consistent performance, improved charging efficiency and long-term battery health across repeated cycling.

Bluetooth Battery Monitoring

Built-in Bluetooth allows users to monitor the battery through the Fogstar Drift App on compatible iOS and Android devices. Important information including voltage, current, state of charge and temperature can be viewed directly from a phone or tablet, providing useful visibility of battery performance without requiring a separate basic battery monitor.

Technical Specifications

Automatic Low-Temperature Heating

LiFePO4 cells should not be charged below their safe operating temperature. The Drift Gen2 addresses this with integrated low-temperature heating, automatically warming the battery before charging when required.

This makes the battery particularly useful for campervans, motorhomes, boats and off-grid installations that may remain exposed to cold UK winter temperatures or be installed in external and unheated battery compartments.

IP67 Protection for Mobile and Marine Systems

The IP67-rated enclosure provides strong protection against dust and water ingress. This gives installers greater flexibility when selecting a suitable battery location and makes the Drift Gen2 particularly well suited to marine systems, campervan electrical installations, motorhomes and rugged off-grid applications.

Series and Parallel Configuration

The ability to connect multiple batteries in parallel allows total storage capacity to be increased significantly for larger solar battery systems. Supported series operation also provides a route to 24V, 36V and 48V battery systems when the batteries and communications are correctly configured for series operation.

Victron System Integration

The Fogstar Drift Gen2 range supports integration with compatible Victron systems, making the 460Ah model particularly attractive for larger campervan, marine and off-grid installations using Victron inverter/chargers, MPPT solar charge controllers and system monitoring equipment.

Compatible communication can provide cleaner integration and more accurate battery information within a properly configured Victron electrical system, helping the inverter, chargers and battery management system operate together effectively.

Typical Applications

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

Why Choose This Product?
