Lion Safari UT 1300BT by Lion Energy

The Lion Energy - Lion Safari UT 1300 BT is the latest in Lithium battery technology, now with Bluetooth compatibility! It replaces traditional deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with the safest Lithium – Iron Phosphate. It is a “plug and play”– simply remove the deep cycle lead-acid battery from your RV or boat and replace it with this superior performing battery.

Lion Energy UT1300BT

  • The life of this Lithium battery is 14 times that of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries—this is literally a lifetime battery--thus a Life Time Warranty.

 

  • The Safari UT 1300 is a great energy storage unit for solar power from panels on homes, cabins, and businesses, and RVs.

 

  • The Safari UT 1300 is virtually maintenance-free, meaning you don’t have to use it or even trickle charge it every 3-4 months, deal with fluids since it doesn’t have any, or remove it from your vehicle and store it for the next season. It can hold its charge for up to 2 years and can be recharged after that time too.

 

  • It will maintain a charge for up to 2 years without having to charge it. This is known as shelf life or storage life. We recommend using it more frequently than every 2 years, though.

 

  • The Safari UT 1300 performs better than lead-acid batteries in most weather conditions. It can charge between temps of 32° to 113° and can discharge between -4° to 131° at 100% rate. Outside these ranges, it can discharge at a lower rate.

 

  • It weighs in at just over 20 pounds and is the same 24 Group Size as other batteries. The dimensions are 10.2” L x 6.6” W x 8.8”

 

  • It is commonly referred to as a 12.8V, 105Ah (how much energy is stored in it), 1344Wh (12.8V x 105Ah). Technically, it is called Nominal Voltage at 12.8V and 105Ah. It can do 900A for a millisecond (a spike) then approximately 250A for one minute and 150A continuous (how much power it puts out) capacity.

 

  • Yes. You can increase the voltage from 12V on a UT up to 48V total by connecting them in series (4 batteries connected together via + to - posts). You can increase the Amps (A) and Amp Hours (Ah) up to 1500A and 1000Ah by connecting them in parallel (+ to + and - to -).
  • We recommend setting all voltages to 14.6 per UT in series or at least close to where it does not exceed 14.6V.

 

  • End amps or tail amps need to be set as low as possible and inverter low voltage needs to be set to 11.5V.

 

  • Victron inverters charger and charge controllers should be set to 13.9 volts for a 12-volt inverter and 27.8 for 24-volt inverters.

 

  • The Safari UT already has an internal Battery Management System (BMS) that acts as a safety net to shut down the battery if it is out of parameters, this prevents the battery from overcharging or discharging as well as operating outside of the temperature range.

 

  • You could use a standard battery charger and it will charge the batteries. However, since most chargers are designed for a lead-acid battery they are made to go up to a certain voltage, and on a lead-acid battery, their "full" is about 13.8V - where our batteries go up to 14.6V. Most chargers would get the batteries to 13.8V (which is about 50%-70% on our batteries) and then trickle charge from 70%-100% so ideally, you will need to look for a charger that will be able to be customized to go up to 14.6V or that is designed for a lithium battery.

 

  • Safari UT will take too much current so you must limit it with the wire you use to charge it if you need 10-12 feet of wire around 10-12 gauge will work to limit the current but always double-check the actual current with a current meter and size the fuses appropriately. You will need to add fuses and other protective equipment to protect the system. To prevent possible damage to your alternator, we recommend using the Redarc (Model #BCDC1225D), which is a DC-DC charger that will safely charge your batteries while you are driving.

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:

  1. Verify Eligibility: Speak with your tax advisor to confirm your eligibility and to understand how to make the most of the credit.

  2. Fill Out IRS Form 5695: This form, available online, is specifically for claiming renewable energy credits. Guidelines for completing the form are provided.

  3. Apply Credits on Your 1040: Use the total credit amount from Form 5695 to lessen your tax liability on your Form 1040.
