The Thumper Lithium batteries are completely serviceable! That's right! We are so confident in our range of Lithium batteries that you can remove the lid and service the battery or even upgrade the BMS capacity at any stage!
Need to run larger loads from just the one battery? No problem. With the ability to upgrade the BMS, the Thumper 100 AH can allow for a 200 Amp Discharge capacity to supports loads up to 2400 watts!
See video here for more information on the BMS:
Thumper Lithium LiFePO4 batteries are fully sealed and are designed to be mounted on any angle for easy application.
Equipped with an internal battery management system (BMS), the Thumper Lithium offers safe charging and discharging with over temperature protection, under and over voltage cut off protection and also internal short circuit protection.
The LiFePO4 range of batteries are less than half the weight of a traditional AGM battery, whilst still offering all of the benefits of a heavy duty deep cycle.
These batteries are designed to hold the terminal voltage higher throughout each cycle, resulting in an increase depth of discharge and a longer overall run time with heavier draw appliances.

The Thumper is a Lithium LiFePO4 Prismatic battery.
Yes! The Thumper Lithium is designed to be continually charged and discharged fr the purposes of running all accessories, such as fridges, lighting, inverters and more.
The Thumper Lithium 160 AH have a continual discharge rate of 160Amps (1920watts).
We offer the ability to upgrade the BMS to a 200 Amp for those looking to run heavier appliances from the one battery. The 200 Amp BMS will supports loads up to 2400 watts.
How many batteries do I need to run my Inverter?
150 watt Inverter ~ 1800 watt Inverter = 1 Battery
1801 watt Inverter ~ 3600 watt Inverter = 2 Batteries
3601 watt Inverter ~ 5,000 watt Inverter = 3 Batteries
What would happen if I run over the 160 Amps discharge rating?The Thumper Lithium is protected internally with a BMS (Battery Management System), meaning that it will protect the battery against overcharge / low voltage and excessive discharge drain.
Example: If you connect a 2000 watt Inverter (166Amp total draw) to the Thumper Lithium battery, then the battery would allow you to run UP TO 1920watts (160Amps) from the Inverter. If the draw exceeded this 160 Amps, then the BMS inside the battery would disconnect and cease providing power to your system.
Once the load has been disconnected from the battery, then you will need to connect a charge to the battery to re-activate the BMS. Once the charge load has been connected, the BMS will reconnect itself within a few seconds and the battery will be ready to use again.
In extreme conditions of overload, the BMS board may suffer damage and may need to be replaced. It is not recommended to run over the rated capacity of the battery.
Yes! The Lithium battery is completely sealed and is designed to allow you to mount on any side.
The Thumper Lithium is designed to charge from any system that is compatible to charge from either a Lithium or AGM setting.
Providing your solar regulator is designed to suit Lithium or AGM chemistry, then it would be perfectly suitable to charge from your portable solar panel.
The Thumper Lithium Battery will not charge from an unregulated panel as the internal BMS will disconnect any input charge that exceeds 15 Volts.
What is the life expectancy of the Thumper Lithium battery?The Thumper Lithium is rated over cycles. A cycle is the process of charging and discharging the battery. The Thumper Lithium is rated to a minimum of 2000 cycles.
Yes! The Thumper 160 AH is designed to be wired in parallel, non-limited.
Yes! The Thumper 160 AH is designed to be wired in series, up to a maximum of 4 cells or 51.2V.
Can I link a Thumper Lithium 160 AH to any other battery size?Yes you can!....
* This does not apply to linking in series. Series linking requires two batteries of the same brand, make and size to allow for even distribution of power.
Can the Thumper Lithium Battery be used for starting purposes?
Thumper do offer a BMS that will allow for cranking ability, select the 'WITH 200A BMS' option in the 'BMS SIZE' drop down menu above.
What voltage is fully charged in a Lithium Battery?Approx 13.2 ~ 13.6 Volts is 100% charged in a Lithium battery. This reading is to be taken when no charge or discharge load is on the batteries.
When charging, you will often see the battery voltage climb up to 14.5-14.8 volts.
The Thumper Lithium 160 AH is built with a comprehensive Bluetooth monitoring APP, which will let you know the remaining percentage of the battery, Amp Hour remaining, estimated time to flat, along with other crucial information.
The Bluetooth App will additionally allow you the ability to remotely disconnect all input and output loads from the battery with just a push of a button.
What voltage is FLAT in the Thumper Lithium BatteryUsing voltage to monitor the state of charge in a lithium battery is unfortunately not accurate.
As the voltage in a lithium battery remains higher throughout the cycle life of the battery, it means that Thumper Lithium will read in the 12's when it is nearing the end of it's capacity. When the remaining capacity of the battery has been exhausted, the battery's BMS will disconnect and the battery will shut down.
Approx 12.0 Volts = approx 10% remaining in the battery.
Can I use a normal Volt meter to monitor my Lithium Battery set up?The short answer to this is Yes, and No.
A voltage meter will provide you an 'indication' on the state of charge on a lithium battery. However, the slightest change in the digital reading of voltage can mean over 50% of your battery's capacity.
The most accurate method to monitor the Thumper Lithium battery would be via the Bluetooth APP. The app is a free download from your iTunes or Googleplay store.
Much the same as how a lead acid battery is configured, The Thumper lithium battery is constructed using a multiple of smaller cells linked internally.
The Thumper Lithium 160 AH Platinum holds a 5 years from date of original purchase
