Product Summary
The Epoch 12V 460Ah V2-T Elite packs 5.89kWh of LiFePO4 storage and a 400A Class T fuse into one IP67 case, so the battery's own protection comes already installed. It talks to Victron GX devices over CAN, warms its cells before charging in the cold, and gives an RV, boat or off-grid cabin a house bank that grows to 16 batteries.
Specifications:
- 12.8V nominal and 460Ah, for 5.89kWh of stored energy
- 230A continuous discharge, 210A continuous charge and 500A peak for up to 10 seconds
- Built-in, user-serviceable 400A Class T fuse (JJN-400, 20kAIC at 160Vdc)
- Victron CAN-bus at 500 kbit/s, plus Bluetooth monitoring in the Epoch Cloud app through the included state of charge meter
- Self-heating for charging below freezing, with discharge down to -4°F (-20°C)
- IP67 case, up to 16 in parallel (94.2kWh) or 4 in series
- More than 3,500 cycles to 70% capacity, UL 1973 battery pack and an 11-year limited warranty
- 12.06 × 20.86 × 8.65 in (H×W×D), 97.55 lb (44.25 kg)

About the Epoch 12V 460Ah V2-T Elite Battery
The V2-T is Epoch's V2 Elite with one big addition: a Class T fuse built into the case. Most lithium installs need a separate Class T fuse and holder bolted near the battery to protect it from a dead short. The V2-T carries a 400A, 20kAIC Class T fuse inside its IP67 enclosure. That means the battery is protected from the moment you land the cables.
Behind that fuse sits 5.89kWh of LiFePO4, in one case sized to take the place of a bank of lead-acid batteries. With 230A continuous and 500A for up to 10 seconds, one battery runs an RV or boat house bank, refrigeration, pumps and a mid-size inverter. It also rides through the start-up surge of a compressor or microwave. It's a deep-cycle house battery, not a cranking battery, so the engine keeps its own starting battery.
Epoch V2-T Class T Fuse and the Main Fuse You Still Need
The internal fuse protects the battery itself. Epoch still requires a correctly rated external fuse or DC breaker close to the positive terminal, to protect the cables and everything downstream. Plan on a main fuse at the battery end of the positive run. A Class-T fuse in a holder near the battery covers that job on most 12V systems.
Victron CAN-Bus Communication With a Cerbo GX
The V2-T reports to Victron GX devices over CAN at 500 kbit/s. It shares state of charge, voltage, current, temperature and charge limits. On a Victron Cerbo GX MK2, the included grey RJ45 lead plugs into VE.Can 1 or 2, with the port set to 500 kbit/s. Turn on DVCC and select the Epoch battery as the controlling BMS. Your Victron inverter-chargers and solar chargers then follow the battery's limits instead of fixed setpoints.
Charging a Lithium Battery in the Cold
When a charge arrives below 41°F (5°C), the heater switches on and warms the cells using charger power. It shuts off at 50°F (10°C) so charging can carry on. The BMS stops charging at 32°F (0°C), but the battery keeps discharging down to -4°F (-20°C). That keeps the lights, fans and fridge running in a winter RV or a boat in the shoulder season.
IP67 Lithium Battery for Boats, RVs and Outdoor Enclosures
The IP67 case is dust-tight and rated for temporary immersion. That counts in a damp locker, an RV basement bay or an outdoor cabinet. The included state of charge meter has Bluetooth 4.0 and connects to the Epoch Cloud app on iOS and Android. You'll see cell voltages, current, temperature and state of charge.
To hold the case down in a boat or RV, the Epoch V2 Elite mounting hardware is made for this battery.
Building a 12V, 24V or 48V Epoch V2-T Battery Bank
Up to 16 V2-T batteries run in parallel for 7,360Ah and 94.2kWh at 12V. You can start with one battery and add more as the system grows. Epoch also allows up to four in series for a 48V-class bank, but not series-parallel combinations.
Size the cables to the bank's continuous current. Our custom battery cables are made to order from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both share the 460Ah cells, the IP67 case, Victron CAN-bus and the built-in heater, and both carry a 400A internal fuse. On the V2-T, that fuse is a user-serviceable Class T (JJN-400, 20kAIC at 160Vdc). The battery also uses the Epoch Cloud app through its included state of charge meter. Its ratings differ slightly, too: 210A continuous charge and a 500A peak for up to 10 seconds, against 230A and 30 seconds on the V2 Elite.
Either one still needs an external main fuse or DC breaker near the positive terminal to protect the wiring.
Use a CC/CV LiFePO4 profile with 14.2V absorption for 15 minutes per battery in the bank. Set float to 13.5V and the maximum to 14.52V, with equalization and temperature compensation off. On a Victron system with DVCC and CAN connected, the battery sends its own charge limits to the chargers.
Yes. Any 12V charger, inverter-charger or solar charge controller that can be set to the LiFePO4 profile above will charge it. The CAN link is optional. The BMS protection, heater and Bluetooth monitoring all work on their own.
The fuse is user-serviceable. Replace it only with the same 400A JJN-400 Class T rating. Find and fix the fault that opened it before the battery goes back into service.
One V2-T can take the place of several lead-acid batteries, but Epoch doesn't call it a drop-in for every installation. Before you order, check the tray, hold-down and lid clearance against its 12.06 × 20.86 × 8.65 in (H×W×D) case.
Epoch rates it for more than 3,500 cycles to 70% capacity, tested at 77°F with a 0.5C charge, a 1C discharge and 70% depth of discharge. In a typical RV or off-grid system, that works out to many years of daily cycling. The battery also carries an 11-year limited warranty.
