    Questions & Answers:

    Q. Why would I would i need to install the isolator under the bonnet with this system when the BCDC1225D will act as an isolator anyway?

    It is true that the BCDC1225D will act as an isolator itself. When operating as normal, the BCDC1225D will engage and disengage according to the voltage of the main start battery, which is ultimately determined by the alternator output. This DC charger will work fine as the isolator providing that the vehicle has a voltage output that is constantly > 13.3 Volts. 


    There is reason why we provide and recommend to install the isolator under the bonnet of the vehicle with this deluxe box. 
    The reason for this is if you choose to use the 'OVERRIDE SWITCH' on the deluxe box. 

    The override switch is designed for vehicles that produce < 13.3 Volts. Sometimes this low voltage output is apparent immediately from the starting the vehicle. Other times, it can take 10 - 15 minutes before the vehicle alternator falls below this point. IF the vehicle output falls below 13.3 volts, then the BCDC1225D will 'think' that you have switched off the ignition and it will act to isolate from the vehicle, meaning you will no longer be charging. 

    By turning ON the override switch, this will OVERRIDE the voltage activation of the DC charger. It basically means that with the SWITCH ON, the DC charger will charge immediately from the vehicle alternator (regardless of the voltage output of the vehicle alternator). However, when the OVERRIDE switch is on, the ISOLATOR within the DC charger will not operate. 

    This is the reason why we provide an additional isolator to install under the bonnet. This under bonnet isolator will then protect you from the possibility of flattening your vehicle starter battery IF you are using the override switch for low output vehicles.

    Common Questions & Answers:

    What type of Lithium battery is the Thumper?

    The Thumper is a Lithium LiFePO4 Prismatic battery.

    Is the Thumper Lithium a Deep cycle? 

    Yes! The Thumper Lithium is designed to be continually charged and discharged fr the purposes of running all accessories, such as fridges, lighting, inverters and more.

    What size Inverter can I run from the 100 AH / 120 AH Lithium?

    Both the Thumper Lithium 100 AH & 120 AH have a continual discharge rate of 100Amps (1200watts). The batteries also have a MAX peak discharge of 300 Amps for 1-3 seconds (surge capacity).

    This means that if you are using only one battery, then the maximum Inverter size that would successfully run on the Thumper 100 AH / 120 AH would be a 1200watt.

    What size Inverter can I run from the 100 AH / 120 AH Lithium?

    The Thumper Lithium 120 AH has a continual discharge rate of 120Amps (1440watts) as standard. The batteries also have a MAX peak discharge of 300 Amps for 1-3 seconds (surge capacity).

    This means that if you are using only one battery, then the maximum Inverter size that would successfully run on the Thumper 120 AH would be 1440 watts.

    Need a bigger BMS? We can upgrade our BMS boards to higher capacity, so you can run larger appliances from the one battery! See our drop down link for upgrade options on the BMS. 

    How many batteries do I need to run my Inverter?

      150 watt Inverter ~ 1200 watt Inverter = 1 Battery with a 120 Amp BMS

    1201 watt Inverter ~ 2400 watt Inverter = 1 Battery with 200 Amp BMS or 2 x Batteries with 100 Amp / 120 Amp BMS 

    2401 watt Inverter ~ 4800 watt Inverter = 2 x Batteries with 200 AMP BMS or 3 x Batteries with 120 Amp BMS 

    What would happen if I run over the discharge rating?

    The Thumper Lithium is protected internally with a BMS (Battery Management System), meaning that it will protect the battery against overcharge / low voltage and excessive discharge drain.

    Example: If you connect a 2000 watt Inverter (166Amp total draw) to the Thumper Lithium battery, then the battery would allow you to run UP TO 1200watts (100Amps) from the Inverter. If the draw exceeded this 100 Amps, then the BMS inside the battery would disconnect and cease providing power to your system.

    Once the load has been disconnected from the battery, the BMS will reconnect itself within a few seconds and the battery will be ready to use again.

    Can I mount the Lithium battery on its side?

    Yes! The Lithium battery is completely sealed and is designed to allow you to mount on any side.

    Do I need Lithium charger (240 Volt / DC charger)?

    As with any Lithium battery, it is recommended (when possible) to use a lithium battery charger. Lithium Battery charger chargers charge the battery at a slightly higher voltage and run through compatible charging stages to suit the Lithium's chemistry. Charging your battery with a Lithium compatible charger will help to prolong the life of your Lithium battery by ensuring it is receiving a full rate of charge.

    In stating the above, the Thumper Lithium range of batteries are designed to be able to charge from an AGM battery setting.

    Can I use my portable solar panel on the Thumper Lithium Battery?

    The Thumper Lithium is designed to charge from any system that is compatible to charge from either a Lithium or AGM setting.

    Providing your solar regulator is designed to suit Lithium or AGM chemistry, then it would be perfectly suitable to charge from your portable solar panel.

    The Thumper Lithium Battery will not charge from an unregulated panel as the internal BMS will disconnect any input charge that exceeds 15 Volts.

    What is the life expectancy of the Thumper Lithium battery?

    The Thumper Lithium is rated over cycles. A cycle is the process of charging and discharging the battery. The Thumper Lithium is rated to a minimum of 2000 cycles.

    Can I wire the Thumper Lithium in Parallel?

    Yes! Both the Thumper 100 AH & 120 AH are designed to be wired in parallel and are non-limited. This means you can build your 12 volt system as large as you desire with use of these batteries!

    Can I link a Thumper Lithium 100 AH to a 120 AH ?

    Yes, as long as they are both Thumper Lithium batteries, then they can be linked in parallel! 

    Can I wire the Thumper Lithium in Series?

    Wiring in series converts a 12 Volt battery into either a 24Volt / 36Volt or 48Volt system (depending on how it is wired)

    The Thumper 120 AH runs a more sophisticated internal BMS, which makes it perfectly suited to run in series UP TO 48 Volts. This battery will allow you to build a 24 Volt / 36 Volt or 48 Volt system.

    Can the Thumper Lithium Battery be used for starting purposes?

    We now offer an upgrade option for a 200 Amp START BMS (only available by Phone inquiry 08 8391 3121) 

    What voltage is fully charged in a Lithium Battery?

    Approx 13.2 ~ 13.4 Volts is 100% charged in a Lithium battery.

    The use of a Lithium compatible gauge, such as the Victron SmartShunt, is recommended in order to accurately monitor the state of charge in a Lithium battery set up.

    What voltage is FLAT in the Thumper Lithium Battery

    Using voltage to monitor the state of charge in a lithium battery is unfortunately not accurate.

    As the voltage in a lithium battery remains higher throughout the cycle life of the battery, it means that Thumper Lithium will read in the 12's when it is nearing the end of it's capacity. When the remaining capacity of the battery has been exhausted, the battery's BMS will disconnect and the battery will shut down.

    Can I use a normal Volt meter to monitor my Lithium Battery set up?

    The short answer to this is Yes, and No.

    A voltage meter will provide you an 'indication' on the state of charge on a lithium battery. However, the slightest change in the digital reading of voltage can mean over 50% of your battery's capacity.

    The most accurate method to monitor this lithium battery is by the use of the free bluetooth app available in your App store.

    What does the 12.8V on the front of the battery represent?
    Much the same as how a lead acid battery is configured, The Thumper lithium battery is constructed using a multiple of smaller cells linked internally.

    The Thumper Lithium is built using a string of 4 x 3.2Volt cells, linked in series, to make up the 12.8Volt.

    What is the warranty of the Thumper Lithium battery?
    Now with 5 year warranty from date of original purchase | as of June 2023

    Good product and service

    Only had it for 2 weeks but really happy with it so far. Had a small issue when initially installing where there was a bad connection on the cable connected to the battery monitoring screen and one of the cables pulled out of the plug. Just a small issue but was causing the screen the constantly go off and on. Not the suppliers fault and did not report it to them but I’m sure they would’ve sorted it out, I was just lucky to notice the issue and rectify it. Would definitely recommend, kit had everything needed to install with ample cable to run from the engine bay to the back of the vehicle.

    Thumper extreme battery box

    I bought this with the 170 lifepo4 lithium battery in a package deal and am so happy with it! Got it to run my large compressor fridge and other 12v stuff. Plug and play not that simple but my nephew set it all up to solar and vehicle charging and it works awesome. Has been full since set up and I live in van. Customer service was excellent and after sales great answered any questions I had. Postage was 5 days after order. Only thing I'd say I'd clips for USB and lighter plugs a little hard to access nephew turned the USB one and heaps better. Would recommend for someone that has no clue and wants a simple set up. Very happy with it.
