THE BMS

DCS LFP Batteries are engineered to perform in the most harsh operating conditions. Every DCS LFP battery features DCS own custom and proprietary BMS that has been continuously refined and improved up since it was first introduced in 2018. The DCS 3S BMS is paired with our stand-alone DCS 16 channel 59.2A Active Cell Balancing System. Both have been designed to pass MIL-STD-810G (Method 514.6) vibration testing requirements which ensures that these batteries remain reliable even in the most punishing of conditions.

THE APP

All DCS LFP batteries also feature our comprehensive Bluetooth system that in conjunction with the DCS LFP App displays the following:

• Battery pack Voltage.
• State of Charge (SOC) % estimate via impedance tracking.
• Amp meter displaying real time charge and discharge current.
• Time remaining (estimate in real time).
• BMS Mosfet temperature status (for winching or large inverter loads).
• Battery pack cycle count.
• Cell status showing real-time active balancing operation.
• More accurate data compared to external battery monitors (shunts).

THE BATTERY

The 80Ah Extreme battery was specifically developed to start large inboard and outboard marine engines, running bow thrusters and it is the only LFP battery on the market that is capable of providing enough power for winching applications. With a charge temperature of +149F and a discharge temperature of +179F, this battery is designed as a starter engine and well suited for engine bay installations. The battery also includes our recently developed heating system. When the temperature drops below 32F the heater will activate and warm the cells to 41F. The heater is draws 4 Amps when active and will only activate when the battery is connected to a charging source.


THE CYCLE PERFORMANCE

This Battery is rated to achieve a minimum of 2500 cycles @ 100% DOD (when ≤ 80% of its original capacity retention has been reached @ 77F). That means that this battery is rated to achieve at least 2500 cycles by the time it has faded 20% from its original capacity, that is, when ≤ 80% of its original capacity retention has been reached.
