Description

What it's good for.

The smallest and lightest 12.8 V battery pack we offer — for installations where weight and size are what matter.

The compact BAKOM 12.8 V / 105 Ah / 1.31 kWh battery pack in a plastic AkuBox is the smallest and lightest battery in our 12V range. It is built from four EVE LF105K grade A prismatic LiFePO₄ (lithium iron phosphate) cells in a 4S1P configuration. Its low weight (approx. 9.3 kg) and small dimensions make it well suited to backup power, smaller mobile installations, caravans and motorhomes, as well as PV and off-grid applications where space is limited.

The closed plastic AkuBox protects the cells and electronics and makes the battery safe even in spaces that other people can access. The connection terminals (positive + with a red cover, negative − with a black cover) are on the top lid together with an ON/OFF switch with LED status indicator. Activation is simple — press the switch, wait for three beeps and the battery supplies power.

Safety and correct operation are handled by an advanced JK BMS control unit, which continuously monitors cell voltage, current and temperature and protects the battery against overvoltage, undervoltage (deep discharge), overcurrent, short circuits and temperature extremes. An active balancer with up to 2 A continuously equalises the voltage between the cells and extends service life. All operating data is available wirelessly via Bluetooth in the BAKOM BMS mobile app.

LiFePO₄ chemistry gives home and mobile storage high safety and resistance to thermal runaway, a long service life of thousands of cycles and the ability to be deeply discharged. The battery is supplied in a basic Bluetooth version and with an additional CAN connector for communication with inverters, optionally with an external LCD display. The 105 Ah pack is made only in this single AkuBox version — there are no variants with top-mounted terminals (T) or heating (HEAT).

Installation should be carried out by a qualified person; the battery must be properly anchored, protected against short circuits and fitted with appropriate fusing and correctly sized cabling.

This variant (BK131A-L): Communication: Bluetooth; external LCD display.

Warranty
4 years on the cells

Energy = capacity × average discharge voltage (3.125 V per cell), i.e. the energy the battery delivers between the BMS limits. Cycle life is stated by the cell manufacturer for 25 °C; actual life depends on operating conditions. The 4-year warranty applies to the cells; the BMS and other electronics are covered as set out in the warranty certificate.

What you get

Ready to connect.

Each battery leaves the workshop with its BMS set up and after a final test. Every battery comes with a report of the measured cell capacity and a warranty certificate.

  • Cell capacity reportMeasured capacity and internal resistance of each cell, and the result of the final test.
  • Manual and warranty certificateWiring procedure, recommended inverter settings and warranty terms.
  • Inverter cableIncluded with 48 and 51.2 V batteries with BMS+ according to the ordered configuration; for other batteries at extra cost.
  • BAKOM BMS app and BAKOM CloudBattery status and cell voltages on your phone via Bluetooth, history and settings on the web. Free for BAKOM batteries.
Frequently asked questions

What you ask us.

Didn't find your answer? Call or write to us — we'll help you choose and connect it.

When will I receive the battery?

We build batteries by hand to order and do not keep them in stock. After your inquiry we confirm the current lead time and put you in the order queue — the reservation is free and non-binding. We contact you before production starts.

Do I pay a deposit?

No. We build and test the battery, then send the invoice and dispatch the battery once payment has arrived. Smaller batteries go by PPL, heavier ones on a pallet; the shipping cost is stated in the quote. Collection in person is possible by arrangement near Klatovy or near Ostrava.

Will the battery communicate with my inverter?

CAN variants communicate with Victron, Deye, Growatt, GoodWe, MUST, Luxpower and other inverters, and via RS485 with, for example, Voltronic inverters. With a Victron system (Cerbo GX), it is the CAN variants that communicate. Our batteries are low-voltage — they do not work with high-voltage (HV) hybrid inverters. Send us your inverter type and we will check.

Can I charge the battery in winter?

Below +1 °C the BMS blocks charging to protect the cells and allows it again above +4 °C. Discharging is possible down to −22 °C. For unheated spaces there are variants with HEAT heating (suffix H), which warm the cells before charging.

What charging voltage should I set?

12.8 V: absorption 14.1 V, float 13.8 V · 25.6 V: 27.9 / 27.4 V · 51.2 V: 55.8 / 54.7 V · 48 V (15 cells): 52.3 / 51.3 V. The BMS protection voltage (3.56 V per cell) is not a charging target. For 15-cell batteries, do not use profiles for 51.2 V or for lead-acid batteries.

Is the inverter communication cable included?

For 48 V and 51.2 V batteries with BMS+ (RC variants), yes, depending on the configuration ordered. For 12.8 V and 25.6 V packs we supply it at extra cost or make one to measure.

Can I add another battery later?

Variants with BMS+ (BK8K-RC and the 48/51.2 V RC series) can be connected in parallel; up to 16 batteries with the same BMS version can be addressed. Each battery is connected separately to the DC busbar with cables of the same length and cross-section — daisy-chaining power cables from battery to battery is not permitted. For more than two batteries we go through the set-up with you in advance.

What is the difference between the AkuBox and a compression box?

The compression box keeps the cells clamped, which benefits their life especially under high load; it can stand horizontally or vertically. It is an open design, so it belongs in a lockable technical room. The AkuBox is a closed enclosure that protects the battery from damage and unauthorised tampering — made of plastic for 12.8 and 25.6 V. The metal AkuBox BK16A-RC also has a built-in display and an isolator switch.

How many cycles will the battery last?

Packs built from EVE LF280K and MB31 cells last 8,000 cycles until capacity drops to 70 %, 105 Ah packs 4,000 cycles to 80 % (cell manufacturer's data at 25 °C). Actual life depends on temperature, currents and depth of discharge.

How should I store the battery over winter?

If the battery will be out of use for more than a week, switch it off. Store it in a dry place, charged to roughly 40–80 %, and top it up every three months. Never leave it fully discharged.

How can I monitor the battery remotely?

The BAKOM BMS app connects to the battery via Bluetooth. The BAKOM Cloud web portal then keeps your batteries, measurement history and settings in one place — you add a battery to your account with the QR code on its label. More on the App page.

Am I allowed to change the BMS settings?

We set the protection parameters in the workshop according to the battery type. Normal user functions in the BAKOM BMS app do not void the warranty; changing the protection configuration, changing the administrator password or modifying the wiring does.
