The generation or model series reflects advancements in technology, integration, and features. Newer generations, such as the NG series, offer enhanced communication, improved monitoring, increased ingress protection, and easier integration with smart systems. For example, the Victron Energy BAT512120620 LiFePO4 Battery 12.8V/200Ah NG and Victron Energy BAT524130620 LiFePO4 Battery 25,6V/300Ah NG feature these next-gen improvements, providing reliability and advanced control. Choosing the latest model ensures access to the newest safety and convenience features. Since multiple NG series batteries are available, users can select from a range of new-generation options that best fit their requirements.
The NG batteries permit larger banks, up to 50 individual batteries instead of 20 for the previous generation. They remove Bluetooth from the individual batteries and instead show the battery information on the Bluetooth of the BMS. This means there are less firmware updates to do because a single update can then be automatically applied to all the batteries in the bank. The NG system allows more of the individual battery data to be transmitted to the VRM for remote viewing.
