Amptron adds BluEdge series to its lithium range

Amptron has gone from strength to strength with its range of LiFePO4 batteries for the 4WD and RV market, delivering products that are reliable, safe and do exactly what they are designed to do.

The Amptron BluEdge series of lithium batteries is its new premium smart battery range that raises the bar in quality and sophistication. Designed using only the highest quality components, and built with robust, tough construction that meets the demand for reliable, long-lasting cycle lithium batteries.

“Our new BluEdge Lithium battery series has been designed to endure the application challenges we have experienced over the years,” said Kevin von Weichardt, business development manager. “The unique robust construction and technology enhancements to this new battery range are a cut above the standard options available in Australia.”

The BluEdge series also has specific functionality that complies with all the requirements of the new AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 standard (connectable electrical installations and supply arrangements). Amptron’s batteries are independently tested to comply with the IEC62619 safety standard and are UN38.3 certified, giving you peace of mind for safe, reliable and compliant performance.

“The new BluEdge series is loaded with a host of new smart technology features specifically targeting the broader interpretation of the new AS/NZS 3001.2-2022 standard as well as the marine AS/NZS 3004.2 -2014 standard,” said Frik Stuart, Technical Director.

The advanced Battery Management System (BMS) provides comprehensive protection to the battery with high precision configurable protection and monitoring features, that protect the battery and carefully manage the safe long-term performance of each cell and the battery pack, or a bank of inter-connected batteries. The system will also report any alarm and protection statuses through its communication interfaces to allow the user to troubleshoot and identify any issues.

The BluEdge BMS also gathers detailed information on the battery, such as the Running State, State of Charge (SOC), Voltage, Current, Temperature, individual cell voltages, Alarm/Protection statuses etc. This information can then be accessed externally via the CANBUS and RS485 communication ports for integrated systems and via Bluetooth with the Android or iOS app.

An optional colour screen display can be added that displays all key battery parameters to the user. The display will also have an audible alarm that will be triggered in the event of a fault/alarm condition.

The cell cycle life has been enhanced by newer prismatic cell designs and improved cell management by the new BMS to maximise battery life. Depending on the model, these batteries offer a very long cycle life of between 4000 to 6000 cycles at 100% Depth of Discharge. The BluEdge series is backed by an Australian-based five-year warranty.

Increased shock and vibration resistance is provided via enhanced framing around the cell packs to prevent internal movement of the cells and/or electronics that may result in failures or metal fatigue over time. This makes these models very suitable for applications in rough offroad conditions.

Amptron ensures that all internal wiring is protected, and high-quality internal connectors and bus bars are used so intermittent failure modes are not introduced in harsh environments. The BluEdge series also has unique triple-layered moisture protection that provides barriers against potential moisture ingress.
