Smart, Lightweight Power for RVs, Boats, and Off-Grid Living
When it’s time to upgrade the power bank in your RV, boat, or off-grid cabin, it's time to ditch the heavy, toxic lead-acid batteries and step into the future of energy storage. The Lion Safari UT™ 1300BT is a premium 12V, 105Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery that delivers significantly more usable power at a fraction of the weight of traditional batteries. Built with smart Bluetooth connectivity, it allows you to monitor your exact energy levels directly from your smartphone. As the ultimate deep-cycle backbone for your Lion Energy Portable Solar Power system, the UT 1300BT provides reliable, maintenance-free energy that you can count on for years of rugged adventures.
Why You Need the Safari UT 1300BT
If you are still using standard lead-acid batteries, you are hauling around unnecessary weight and only getting to use about 50% of your battery's actual capacity before risking permanent damage. The Lion Safari UT 1300BT solves this. It weighs a mere 23 pounds, saving you massive amounts of weight in your RV or boat, and safely allows you to use 100% of its rated capacity. Furthermore, the "BT" stands for Bluetooth. Instead of guessing how much juice you have left or installing expensive external shunts, you simply open the Lion Energy app on your phone to instantly view your voltage, current, and remaining charge. It is a true drop-in replacement that instantly modernizes your entire electrical system.
Key Features and Benefits

- Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing just 23 lbs, it is less than half the weight of a standard lead-acid battery, drastically reducing the payload in your vehicle or vessel.
- Standard Drop-In Replacement: Fits standard Group 24 battery boxes, making it incredibly easy to swap out your old batteries without requiring custom remodeling.
- Massive Lifespan: Built with premium LiFePO4 chemistry, it delivers 3,500+ charge cycles, meaning it will likely outlast the vehicle you put it in.
- Advanced BMS Protection: The internal Battery Management System automatically protects against overcharging, discharging, short circuits, and extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Safari UT 1300BT a drop-in replacement for my RV?
Yes. The battery is a standard Group 24 size, meaning it will fit directly into the battery boxes of most RVs, travel trailers, and marine setups that currently use standard 12V lead-acid batteries.
Can I connect multiple UT 1300BT batteries together?
Absolutely. You can connect these batteries in parallel to increase your total amp-hour capacity (e.g., two batteries for 210Ah) or in series to increase your voltage for 24V, 36V, or 48V systems.
Do I need a special charger for this lithium battery?
To get the absolute best performance and fully charge the battery to 100%, a lithium-compatible charger or converter is recommended. However, standard lead-acid chargers will still charge the battery, though they may only get it to around 80-90% capacity depending on their voltage output.
How does the Bluetooth feature work?
The battery has a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. You simply download the free Lion Energy app on your smartphone, connect to the battery wirelessly, and you can monitor the exact State of Charge (SOC), voltage, and current draw in real time.
Federal Solar Tax Credit
A Brief Overview of the U.S. Home Energy Tax Credit
Discover the financial advantages of the U.S. federal solar tax credit for homeowners considering installing a solar system in their main residence. This incentive provides a 30% discount on the current cost of a solar system. If you've set up a system in 2022, it's advisable to speak with your tax consultant to see if you're eligible for a higher credit rate.
Understanding the U.S. Federal Solar Tax Credit:
This tax credit is tailored for homeowners and applies to solar systems installed in primary homes. The credit covers a percentage of qualifying expenses, and thanks to the recent Inflation Reduction Act, the scope of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) has broadened. Solar systems installed from 2022 to 2032 are eligible for a 30% tax credit, which will drop to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034. There's no cap on the amount you can claim.
What Expenses Are Eligible:
Qualifying expenses include solar photovoltaic panels, attic fan power systems (except for the fan itself), labor costs for installation and setup, balance-of-system components, and applicable sales taxes. Standalone batteries with a capacity of 3 kWh or more may also be eligible! For instance, if the solar system you initially purchase includes a single battery with a capacity of less than 3 kWh, but you also buy extra batteries during the installation process that bring the total capacity to more than 3 kWh, then the entire setup may be eligible for the tax credit.
How to Determine Your Eligibility:
To confirm your eligibility for this federal solar credit, review the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy and consult your tax advisor.
Steps to Claim the U.S. Federal Solar Tax Credit:
Verify Eligibility: Speak with your tax advisor to confirm your eligibility and to understand how to make the most of the credit.
Fill Out IRS Form 5695: This form, available online, is specifically for claiming renewable energy credits. Guidelines for completing the form are provided.
Apply Credits on Your 1040: Use the total credit amount from Form 5695 to lessen your tax liability on your Form 1040.
