KickAss 12V 160Ah Lithium Essentials Dual Battery Kit with DCDC Charger, Wiring Kit & Fuse Holder

Ready to upgrade to lithium, but don’t want the hassle of reconfiguring your setup? The KickAss 12V 160Ah Lithium Deep Cycle Battery LiFePO4 is built to standard N70 dimensions, making it an easy drop-in replacement for anyone swapping out an existing battery or wanting to upgrade their setup. No custom trays, no rewiring, no compromises – just slot it in and upgrade to 160Ah of lithium power in your caravan, 4WD, boat, or off-grid solar setup.

Inside is a set of high-quality, A-grade prismatic LiFePO4 cells, delivering 160Ah of usable capacity along with 80A continuous charging and 150A continuous discharge current. Enough power to run fridges, lighting, 1000W inverters, and other high-powered 12V accessories without missing a beat, while still charging efficiently whenever you're back near shore power.

Rated for 4000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, this deep cycle lithium battery is built to significantly outlast traditional lead-acid and AGM batteries, making it a smart long-term investment for camping, caravan, marine, and solar battery setups.

Safety and reliability are built in from the ground up. An intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) continuously monitors the battery, helping protect against overheating, overcharging, overdischarging, short circuits, and voltage irregularities. Paired with an IP65-rated housing for dust and water protection, this battery is designed to handle harsh Australian conditions, whether that's a dusty outback track or a salty marine environment.

Low self-discharge means this battery holds its charge well in storage, so it's ready to go when your next trip comes around, even after sitting idle for weeks. A wide operating temperature range – charging from -10°C to 65°C and discharging from -5°C to 65°C – ensures dependable performance no matter the season, from frosty mornings to scorching summer days.

Compact enough to fit where it needs to, yet powerful enough to run your whole setup, the KickAss 12V 160Ah Lithium Deep Cycle Battery is the easy way to go lithium without changing a thing about your existing installation.

Powerful 40A Dual Battery Charging

With a high 40A output, this charger is perfect for keeping larger lithium and lead acid battery systems topped up and ready for action. It ensures fast, safe charging for demanding off-road or touring applications.

Bluetooth Monitoring & App Control

Connect your charger to your smartphone via Bluetooth to monitor performance in real time. The KickAss App gives you complete visibility over charging status, voltages, current flow, and system alerts – all from your pocket.

Simple Plug & Play Installation

Thanks to Anderson-style connectors, installation is quick and hassle-free with no complex wiring required. It’s designed for DIY setups and easy integration into your existing system.

Dual Input: Alternator & Solar Charging

Charge from your vehicle’s alternator while driving or connect a solar panel when stationary – this charger handles both. Its built-in MPPT solar regulator ensures maximum efficiency when using solar input.

Built for Aussie Conditions

Rated IP66, the KickAss 40A DCDC Charger is waterproof, dustproof, and rugged enough to handle corrugated tracks, extreme heat, and remote adventures. It’s built tough for Australian conditions.

Compatible with 12V & 24V Alternators

Highly versatile, this charger is compatible with both 12V and 24V alternators, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicle types including trucks, commercial vehicles, and 4WDs.

Adjustable Max Input Current – Hybrid Compatible

The maximum input current can be configured via the Bluetooth app, allowing the charger to limit the draw from your vehicle’s alternator, without reducing the maximum charge current when charging from solar. This makes it ideal for some hybrid vehicles or those with low-output alternators, helping prevent overload and ensuring stable, efficient charging without placing strain on your electrical system.

Smart Alternator Ready

Modern vehicles with smart alternators are no problem. The unit supports both smart and fixed-voltage alternators and includes an ignition trigger wire to start or stop charging based on engine status.

Lithium Battery Compatible

Fully lithium-ready, this charger includes an automatic lithium wakeup function that can safely restore LiFePO4 batteries from low voltage protection or sleep mode – no manual intervention needed.

Advanced Multi-Stage Charging

Precision charging algorithms help extend the life of your auxiliary battery. The charger delivers multi-stage charging tailored to the battery type, helping maintain peak performance over the long haul.

Starter Battery Isolation

To protect your starting battery, the charger only delivers current to your auxiliary battery when the engine is running, and automatically disconnects when the vehicle is off – eliminating unwanted drain.

Supports Multiple Battery Chemistries

Whether you’re using lithium, AGM, wet, gel, or calcium batteries, this charger has you covered. It’s a versatile solution designed to support a wide range of battery types.

Perfect for 4WDs, caravans, camper trailers, and off-grid touring setups, the KickAss 40A DCDC Charger with Solar MPPT and Bluetooth delivers intelligent charging for serious adventurers.
