Description
Overview
The VC12100 is Vestwood’s 12V lithium solution — a direct drop-in replacement for traditional 12V lead-acid batteries with 3-5× longer lifespan, 70% less weight, and zero maintenance. At just 11.5kg, it’s lighter than most car batteries while delivering 100Ah of LiFePO4 storage.

IP65 — Outdoor Ready
Unlike the IP20-rated 48V batteries, the VC12100 carries a full IP65 rating — completely dustproof and protected against water jets from any direction. Install it outdoors, on a boat, in an RV, or in exposed environments with confidence.
Drop-In Lead-Acid Replacement
The VC12100 replaces any 12V 100Ah lead-acid battery. Same voltage range (10.8-14.6V), same terminal configuration. Compatible with most 12V solar charge controllers and inverters. If your charger/inverter has adjustable voltage settings, set charge to 14.4-14.6V and cutoff to 10.8V for optimal LiFePO4 performance.
300A Peak — Motor Starting
The 300A peak discharge (3 seconds) means the VC12100 can handle motor startup surges from pumps, compressors, and refrigerators on 12V systems — something many lithium batteries in this class cannot do.
