The iTechWorld X Range represents the pinnacle of deep cycle lithium battery design. These batteries are equipped with a pre-installed Battery Management System (BMS) that enables compatibility with a wide range of charging systems, making them well-suited for use in boats, caravans, motor-homes, RVs, and more. With an IP67 rating, they are also waterproof and dustproof, making them suitable for under-the-bonnet use.
Key Features
- Australian design and development
- Bluetooth monitoring
- LiFePO4 battery technology
- Compact and lightweight design
- IP67 rated waterproof and dustproof
- Heavy duty ABS casing
- High discharge rate
- Over discharge protection (safe mode)
- Long cycle life with A grade prismatic cells
Installation
The X Range battery can be installed in any orientation, except for upside down (with terminals facing down). For those looking to mount your X Range battery under the bonnet of a vehicle, we recommend using a heat shield to protect the battery from extreme temperatures. The batteries support both parallel and series connections to expand capacity or voltage as needed.
Operation
Your iTechWorld X Range lithium battery features Bluetooth capabilities. To access the Bluetooth user guide and download the iTechworld Connect battery management app, please search for iTechworld Connect in your respective app store. Please note that a lithium battery's discharge curve differs from lead-acid batteries; refer to the provided discharge curve graph to understand performance.
Charging
Embedded within every iTechworld battery lies a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) which sets our batteries apart from conventional lead-acid, calcium, or even other lithium batteries. This BMS enables the battery to accept a broad range of charging profiles, including lead acid, gel, and AGM. However, the battery is not compatible with calcium charging profiles. For optimal performance, if your charger offers a dedicated lithium charging profile, it is advisable to use that profile for the best results.
Maintenance and Safety
To keep your X range performing at its best, it is important to fully charge and discharge the unit once every 3 months. When not in use, it is recommended to completely isolate the battery, charge it to 13.5V, and check the voltage every 3 months. Always follow safety precautions: do not disassemble, modify, or use the battery near fire. Never use the battery in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment.

Common problems
Battery enters safe mode
Follow the specific recovery procedure using a solar panel, jump starter, or charged battery and jumper cables as outlined in the manual.
Battery not charging
Ensure the charger is not set to a calcium profile and that the battery is not in safe mode.
Before use
- Check for any physical damage to the casing or terminals
- Ensure the battery is not in safe mode
- Verify the charging source is compatible (not calcium)
- Download the iTechworld Connect app for monitoring
- Ensure proper ventilation if mounted under the bonnet
- Use a heat shield if mounting in high-temperature areas
Specs in practice
- Nominal Voltage
- The standard operating voltage of the battery, which is 12.8V.
- BMS Low Voltage Cut Off
- The voltage level at 10V where the battery automatically shuts down to prevent damage.
Images and diagrams
