Thumper Lithium LiFePO4 batteries are fully sealed and are designed to be mounted on any angle for easy application.
Equipped with an internal battery management system (BMS), the Thumper Lithium offers safe charging and discharging with over temperature protection, under and over voltage cut off protection and also internal short circuit protection.
The LiFePO4 range of batteries are less than half the weight of a traditional AGM battery, whilst still offering all of the benefits of a heavy duty deep cycle.
These batteries are designed to hold the terminal voltage higher throughout each cycle, resulting in an increase depth of discharge and a longer overall run time with heavier draw appliances.
Features:
• Less than half the weight of a traditional lead acid battery
• Higher voltage maintained for longer run times with appliances
• Proven quality and reliability
• Compatible with chargers with an AGM or lithium setting
• For best results: Use of a lithium charger is recommended
• Increased cycles compared to traditional lead acid
• Parallel connection max 4 cells
• Series connection max 4 cells
• This battery is NOT designed for starting purposes
• This battery is NOT designed for under bonnet application
• 3 Year warranty
• BMS reset switch fitted to battery
BMS Reset switch:
In most circumstances, the BMS will reset when a battery charger is connected, however, if it does not reset, the Thumper Battery is fitted with a BMS reset switch. This feature will allow for a BMS to wake up' a battery that has been excessively discharged, or overloaded.
How to use the BMS reset switch
- Connect the battery to a 240 volt battery charger
- Turn the charger ON
- Press and continuously hold the BMS switch for approx. 30 - 90 seconds
- The charger should then start to charge the battery normally, at this time the switch may be released and the battery will charge normally
Note: Some battery chargers require voltage to activate charging. This type of charger will not be suitable to reset your BMS under normal circumstances. If available, set your charger to power supply mode to activate the BMS via the above steps. Ensure the charger is switched back to battery charger mode after successfully resetting the BMS.
What is a BMS
The BMS (Battery Management System) is the 'brain' board of a Lithium Battery. It is what determines:
- Discharge capacity of the battery (max discharge load the battery can handle)
- The Input charge rate (how much charge input the battery can accept) \
- The operating temperature of the battery
- The low voltage disconnect voltage
- The reset voltage
- Bluetooth capability
- Protection parameters for the battery

The Thumper is a Lithium LiFePO4 Prismatic battery.
Does the TLS-100 have Bluetooth connectivity?
Yes. This battery is fitted with a high-quality BMS, allowing for Bluetooth connectivity via a free downloadable THUMPER APP.
Is the Thumper Lithium a Deep cycle?Yes! The Thumper Lithium is designed to be continually charged and discharged for the purposes of running all accessories, such as fridges, lighting, inverters and more.
The Thumper Lithium 100 AH holds a continual discharge rate of 100Amps (1200watts).
The maximum Inverter size that would successfully run on the Thumper 100 AH = 1200watts.
How many TLS-100 batteries would I need to run my Inverter?
150 watt Inverter ~ 1200 watt Inverter = 1 Battery
1201 watt Inverter ~ 2400 watt Inverter = 2 Batteries
2401 watt Inverter ~ 3600 watt Inverter = 3 Batteries
Note:
The Thumper standard Lithium battery is not designed to allow for an upgrade on the BMS system, whereas, the Thumper Platinum range of batteries, allow for an upgrade of the BMS board in the battery. The Platinum 100 AH may have the BMS board upgraded to 200Amp, resulting in the one battery being capable of running a 2400watt discharge load.
See Platinum option TL100 here
What would happen if I run over the 100 Amps 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.
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 standard model is rated to 3000 cycles.
Yes! The Thumper Lithium Standard 100 AHis designed to be wired in parallel up to 4 x cells (max 400 AH).
Can I wire the Thumper Standard 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 100 AH is designed to run in series UP TO 48volts (max 4 cells)
Can the Thumper Lithium Battery be used for starting purposes?No.
Approx 13.4 Volts is 100% charged
What voltage is FLAT in the Thumper Lithium BatteryUsing voltage to monitor the state of charge in a lithium battery is unfortunately not accurate.
Approx Voltages:
13.4V = 100% | 13.2V = 70% | 13.0V = 30% | 12.0 Volts = 10%
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.
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.
