MV-072 LiFePO4 Racing Battery

The Megalife MV-072 is a high-performance LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery engineered for racing vehicles, including kart, bike, tarmac, and off-road applications. This advanced chemistry provides significant advantages over traditional lead-acid batteries, offering up to 10x the charge/discharge rate, full depth of discharge capability, approximately one-third the weight, and five times the cycle life. The MV-072 incorporates an integrated Battery Management System (IBMS) that ensures superior performance and safety. The IBMS includes protection circuits for cell balancing, overcharge voltage, short circuit, over-discharge, and over-temperature. This model also features an emergency start function, adding to its versatility and reliability for demanding motorsport environments. With a 12.8V rated voltage and a substantial 1200 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) from its main cell (1500 CCA combined with the backup cell), this battery is built to deliver robust starting power. It measures 280mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height, with the negative terminal positioned on the left. The battery is compliant with EU RoHS Directive, CE certified, and adheres to UN38.3 safety and transport requirements, making it suitable for motorsport use and travel. Megalife backs this product with a 3-year manufacturer's full replacement warranty, reflecting confidence in its durability and performance. Note that conventional car battery chargers are not recommended; a dedicated Lithium Ion charger, such as the Optimize 5.0A 14.4V, is required. Special attention should be paid to preventing the battery from going completely flat, as this can cause damage. In some cases, a flat LiFe battery may require 'jump starting' by disconnecting and reconnecting the charger.
