What this video covers

The Epoch V2-T 12V 460Ah lithium iron phosphate battery features marine-rated construction, including an IP-rated waterproof case, stainless steel threaded mounting inserts, and an integrated, replaceable T-Class fuse.1:14 The unit supports a 230-amp continuous discharge and a 30-second 500-amp surge.0:53 Internal heating elements allow for charging in sub-freezing temperatures, drawing power from the terminals to warm the cells before accepting a charge.3:58 The battery integrates with Victron systems via a dedicated CAN port, allowing the BMS to communicate state of charge, cell voltages, and temperature directly to a Cerbo GX device.5:38 While the previous version suffered from software and over-the-air update failures, the V2-T firmware allows for stable Victron integration and parallel daisy-chaining.9:27 The internal build includes welded cell terminals, a large BMS heat sink, and an accessible Bluetooth antenna that can be disconnected to disable smart features.7:04 The battery maintains rated capacity during high-current discharge and cold-weather cycling.4:32
