DEKA Duration DD300-12H 300Ah 3.6kWh 12V LiFePO4 Heated Monobloc Battery
Why Choose the Deka Duration DD300-12H 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 Heated Battery for Cold-Climate Energy Storage
The Deka Duration DD300-12H is a 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 Heated Monobloc Battery built on Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry with a fully integrated Battery Management System (BMS) and built-in self-heating capability. Rated at 300Ah with 3.6kWh of usable energy, it is engineered for high-capacity applications in cold climates that demand deep, repeated cycling — including off-grid solar storage, large RV and marine house loads, golf carts, and home backup power systems — all in a sealed, IP67-rated, fire-resistant package that charges reliably down to -4°F (-20°C).

Built-in Heating for Cold-Climate Charging
Standard LiFePO4 batteries cannot be safely charged below freezing — a critical limitation in cold-weather installations. The DD300-12H solves this with an integrated self-heating system that brings the cells to a safe operating temperature before and during charging, enabling full charge capability down to -4°F (-20°C). Whether installed in a northern off-grid cabin, a winter RV build, or an outdoor backup system, this battery charges reliably where standard lithium batteries would shut down or sustain cell damage.
