LP24-100 24 V 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery pack

The 24 V entry point — same cells as the 12 V platform, half the current for the same power, and an enclosure that fits the standard 24 V group size.

Category: Battery Packs

Why 24 V, and when to stop considering 12 V

Current, not voltage, is what damages packs and cabling. A 2,000 W load draws about 160 A from a 12 V system and about 80 A from a 24 V system. The 24 V version halves the I²R loss in the busbar, halves the heat inside the enclosure, and allows a thinner cable.

The practical rule: once a 12 V application needs more than roughly 1,500 W continuous, move to 24 V rather than specifying a larger 12 V BMS.

Matching the BMS to the machine

Most failures in this class come from the peak current, not the continuous. A motor that draws 70 A steadily on the flat can pull 250 A for three seconds when starting on a gradient.

Give us the start-up current and its duration. If it exceeds the 200 A / 10 s peak on this pack, we will specify a higher-rated BMS rather than let the machine trip — the cost difference is small and the alternative is a warranty claim plus a customer who has lost confidence in the equipment.

Key Features

25.6 V nominal, 100 Ah rated, 2,560 Wh rated energy
100 A continuous discharge, 200 A peak for 10 seconds
2,560 W continuous output — enough for a 2,000 W 24 V inverter with headroom
Half the discharge current of a 12 V pack at the same power, so less heat in the busbar
Around 22 kg, roughly one third of the equivalent lead-acid capacity
3,000–6,000 cycle rating depending on depth of discharge

Applications

Mobility and accessibility equipment

Powers scooters, wheelchairs and stair lifts where the drive pulls a sustained 60–90 A on gradients and needs a peak that does not trip the BMS.

24 V inverter bank

Runs a 2,000–2,500 W 24 V inverter for tools, lighting and small appliances.

Light industrial machinery

Floor machines, lifts and cleaning equipment where the pack is charged daily on a shift pattern.

FAQ

Should I use two 12 V packs in series or one 24 V pack?

One 24 V pack, in almost every case. Two 12 V packs in series means two BMS units that must stay synchronised, and if one decides to disconnect for protection the other is left carrying a load it was not sized for. A single 8S BMS manages the whole string and keeps the cells balanced as one set.

What continuous current can the drive actually pull?

The pack will deliver 100 A continuously. Size the drive so its continuous draw stays at or below that, and check that its start-up surge is covered by the 200 A peak for up to ten seconds. Motor start-up above that duration needs a higher-rated BMS — tell us the profile and we will specify it.

Is the BMS configurable for a specific machine?

Yes. Current limits, temperature thresholds, communication protocol and alarm behaviour can all be set at the factory. Send the machine's specification and we will confirm what can be adjusted without affecting certification.
