Battery / Batteries

Heavy Duty, Extreme Performance

The MLI series delivers extreme Lithium Ion performance even under the harshest conditions, such as high charge and discharge currents, wet environments, mechanical shocks or vibrations. This is realized by combining our best Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells with a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) inside a sturdy, waterproof housing.

The sophisticated Mastervolt BMS ensures optimal use of each individual cell. Integrated battery monitoring provides you with accurate and up-to-date information on the state of your battery. Integrated NMEA 2000, CZone or MasterBus communication allows complete system integration, to ensure the best possible recharging, while maximizing the lifetime of your battery.

Self-learning balancing algorithm

The MLI Ultra batteries are equipped with a self-learning balancing algorithm that predicts the behavior of each individual battery cell and balances proactively, resulting in a faster and more efficient charge cycle. The self-learning system eliminates unnecessary stress on the cells, resulting in an even longer Battery Cycle Life.

 

  • Safe Operation - The Mastervolt MLI series is equipped with an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) and communication through MasterBus/ CAN. Even in the harshest cycling conditions this guarantees efficient and safe operation of the battery.
  • The MLI series batteries come with an integrated automatic safety switch. Safety always comes first.
  • Weight Reduction - As speed and performance are crucial aspects, a Lithium Ion battery with 70 % less weight  than similar lead acid batteries offers considerable benefits. A vessel or vehicle with a storage capacity of 20 kWh on board, can easily save up to 500 kg and achieve a substantially better performance.
  • Superior Performance - Mastervolt Lithium Ion batteries have a realistic lifespan of over 3500+ cycles at a depth of discharge (DOD) of 80 %. This means five times more energy storage than lead acid batteries thanks to features such as extremely high efficiency, the almost complete absence of self discharge, and the minimal build-up of the infamous ‘memory effect’.
  • Suitable for large battery banks - The MLI series is ideal for electric and hybrid applications, and can be connected in parallel unlimited. The built-in common-rail technology offers an easy series connection of multiple MLI Ultra batteries.

Battery Protection - Remote Battery Switch (Safety Relay)

For additional safety: Mastervolt stipulates the use of a safety relay as mandatory part of the battery installation.

Using a remote battery switch results in increased safety and convenience, and significant reduction in cost, weight, and voltage drop. A remote battery switch is installed as close as possible to the battery bank, and is operated by a low-current control switch in a convenient location.

Remote Battery Switch features:

  • Continuous and intermittent current rating
  • Ability to switch under high current load
  • Manual ON/OFF—added level of safety by allowing control with or without power
  • Safety lockout capability for servicing downstream circuits
  • Water ingress protection—enables operation in harsh environments
  • Only draws current when changing the state of the switch; no current is used to hold the contacts in place
  • G-force resistance—withstands high-shock loading so contacts maintain position in the roughest conditions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inverter / Charging – CombiMaster

MasterBus Network

MasterBus is a network that makes use of CANbus technology, which already has a proven track record in the automotive and maritime markets. MasterBus controls the supply for all connected equipment, including the inverter, battery charger, generator and much more besides. This makes an intelligent system performance possible.

 

MasterBus is unique for the way a wide range of products, recognizable by the MasterBus symbol, are fitted with the same communication port. This results in a mine of information on all connected components. Everything becomes clear and easy to operate via one central touchscreen panel. Operation from multiple locations is also possible, for example via PC/laptop or SMS. Installation is also incredibly simple and the minimal amount of cabling significantly reduces the chance of failures.

 

Terminators ensure interference-free operation of the MasterBus network, prevent reflection of data signals and ensure high communication speeds.

 

 

Suitable for data traffic and powering peripheral equipment in harsh environments, this is the only cable you need for your MasterBus network. MasterBus compatible products come standard with two ports, while other equipment requires an interface.
