The 12.8V 314Ah LiFePO4 battery — 4.02kWh from a 4S1P pack — is the largest standard-format 12V lithium battery on the market. Built from the same 314Ah prismatic cells used in home storage systems, it brings 16kWh-class cell technology into a drop-in 12V replacement. This page covers the specification, cell options, BMS choices, and wholesale/OEM sourcing.

For distributors & importers: 12.8V 314Ah (4.02kWh)
LJY Energy is a China-based LiFePO4 battery supplier and OEM/ODM coordinator. Production is carried out by partner manufacturers; we match the build to your market, confirm the specification in writing and coordinate quality checks and export.
What we coordinate for each order
- Configuration: cell option, BMS rating and communication (Bluetooth / CAN / RS485 where the system needs it), enclosure and terminals, confirmed in the datasheet issued with your quotation.
- Private label: logo, case colour, rating labels, manuals and carton print for your brand.
- Quality control: pre-shipment inspection items (visual, voltage/IR consistency, BMS function, labelling) agreed per order; third-party inspection can be arranged at the buyer's request.
- Export documents: UN38.3 test summary, SDS/MSDS and dangerous-goods (UN3480, Class 9) shipping paperwork for the exact model shipped, coordinated per order.
Commercial terms and certificates
- MOQ, price, lead time and warranty: confirmed per order in the quotation. No public list price.
- How orders usually run: sample or trial order → pilot order with your labels and documents → repeat orders on a locked specification.
- Market certificates (which ones depends on the destination market and application): available/arranged per project; certification and testing fees are borne by the buyer. We tell you which source holds each report before you order.
Before the first order, read the wholesale & distributor program, the MOQ & sample order guide and our supplier verification checklist. Related: 12.8V private-label program, 12V series (100Ah–314Ah).
Request a distributor quote for the 12.8V 314Ah (4.02kWh). Send your market, quantity band, private-label needs and the inverter/charger or application.
Distributor FAQ
Is LJY Energy a 12.8V 314Ah battery manufacturer or a supplier?
A supplier and OEM/ODM coordinator. 12.8V 314Ah packs are produced by partner manufacturers on 314Ah-class prismatic cells; LJY Energy confirms the specification, arranges inspection and export documents, and quotes per order. If you need the producing factory named for your audit, ask in the RFQ.
Can I buy 12.8V 314Ah battery packs wholesale under my own brand?
Yes. Distributors and importers can order the 12.8V 314Ah as a private-label pack: logo, case colour, labels, manuals and packaging, with the BMS rating (100A, 200A or 250A options) and Bluetooth/heating options fixed in the project datasheet.
What sets the price and lead time of a 12.8V 314Ah bulk order?
Cell brand and grade, BMS current and communication options, enclosure, heating, labelling and packaging, quantity, and the Incoterm. There is no public list price: MOQ, price, lead time and warranty are confirmed per order in the quotation.
Cell Options
The 314Ah-class prismatic cell generation is the source of this model’s capacity class (exact cell brand and lot confirmed per quotation — not a standing multi-brand inventory claim)’s capacity. A 4S1P arrangement yields 4,019Wh in a single case, roughly triple the energy of a classic 12V 100Ah battery. LJY Energy verifies cell model, grade, and batch documentation per project; UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS are supplied. Specifications, pricing, MOQ, and lead times are confirmed per project.
Applications
- RV and camper vans: 4kWh in one battery reduces wiring complexity versus three or four 100Ah units in parallel.
- Marine and trolling: high reserve capacity for house loads and trolling motors. IP65/IP67 enclosures available.
- Off-grid cabins: a single 4kWh unit pairs with 1–2kW of solar and a 2–3kW inverter.
- Truck auxiliary power: for sleeper cabs and work vehicles.
Need the same cell generation at 24V or 48V? See the 25.6V 314Ah (8.0kWh) and 51.2V 314Ah (16.1kWh) pages. For cell-level sourcing, see LiFePO4 battery cells wholesale.
BMS and Customization Options
- High-current BMS: 200A–250A continuous options support inverter surge loads — match BMS current to your inverter.
- Bluetooth BMS: mobile app monitoring — see our BMS selection guide.
- Low-temperature protection: charging cut-off below 0°C; self-heating pads optional.
- Series/parallel: 12V units can be series-connected for 24V/36V/48V banks or paralleled for larger capacity.
- OEM branding: private-label cases and custom specification sheets.
Wholesale and OEM/ODM
Distributor, wholesale and private-label terms for this model are in For distributors & importers.
Cold-Weather Operation
- Low-temperature charging cut-off: the BMS blocks charging below 0°C automatically.
- Self-heating option: heating pads warm the cells to safe charging temperature — essential for winter RVing.
- Installation tips: mount inside the heated envelope when possible; insulate the battery compartment.
Shipping, Documentation & Project Terms
Lithium batteries ship as Class 9 dangerous goods with UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS. Specifications, pricing, MOQ, and lead times are confirmed per project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much energy does a 12V 314Ah battery hold?
12.8V × 314Ah = 4,019Wh (4.02kWh) — roughly three times a standard 12V 100Ah battery (1.28kWh).
Can it replace my RV’s lead-acid batteries?
Yes. It is a drop-in 12V replacement with far deeper usable capacity and 3,000–6,000+ cycle life (per the cell datasheet; the figure depends on depth of discharge, temperature, C-rate and end-of-life capacity, so confirm it for your model).
What BMS current do I need?
Match the BMS to your largest load. A 200A BMS supports roughly 2.5kW continuous at 12V; 250A supports ~3kW.
Can I connect multiple units in series or parallel?
Yes, within the BMS manufacturer’s limits. For native 24V or 48V systems, consider the 25.6V 314Ah or 51.2V 314Ah models instead.
