Baintech BT80A-BTCH10 80Ah Lithium Battery with 10A Charger

Complete weekend power solution—battery, charging ports, and charger in one package, ready to run your camping setup.

Product Overview

The Baintech BT80A-BTCH10 is an 80Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery with an integrated "Power Top" multi-port charging system and includes a 10A lithium charger. This isn't just a battery—it's a complete portable power station combining battery capacity, multiple charging outputs (Anderson plugs, USB-C PD, USB-A QC, cigarette lighter), Bluetooth monitoring, and mains charging capability in one ready-to-use package.

Built around safe LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry with an integrated Battery Management System, this unit delivers reliable power for weekend camping, 4WD touring, caravan auxiliary systems, and portable power applications. The Power Top design eliminates the need for separate distribution panels, USB adaptors, and Anderson outlets—everything is built into the battery housing for a clean, compact installation.

The included 10A lithium charger provides mains charging capability straight out of the box. The Bluetooth-enabled BMS allows smartphone monitoring of voltage, current, state of charge, and temperature in real-time. At 11.5kg and compact dimensions (181 × 136 × 320mm), this battery is portable enough for swapping between vehicles or carrying to remote camp locations. Backed by a 5-year warranty and rated for 3000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, the BT80A-BTCH10 delivers years of reliable service for weekend warriors and regular tourers alike.

Features & Benefits

Complete Power Solution in One Unit: The integrated Power Top eliminates the need for separate distribution panels, USB outlets, and Anderson sockets. Everything you need for powering camping gear is built into the battery housing—two Anderson plugs for high-current devices like fridges, cigarette lighter socket for 12V accessories, and multiple USB ports for phones, tablets, and laptops. No additional wiring harnesses or distribution boxes required.

80Ah Capacity for Weekend Adventures: The 80Ah capacity (approximately 1024Wh) provides ample power for typical weekend camping. Run a 45L fridge for 24–36 hours, charge multiple devices via USB, power LED lighting, and operate 12V water pumps without range anxiety. Sized perfectly for weekend warriors who don't need the bulk and weight of larger 100–120Ah batteries.

Includes 10A Lithium Charger: The package includes a 10A mains charger specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries. Plug into powered caravan sites or home power to recharge between trips. No need to purchase charging equipment separately—everything needed to maintain the battery arrives in the box.

Multi-Port Integrated Charging: The Power Top provides versatile charging options: 50A Anderson plugs for high-current DC-DC charging or connecting large loads, 10A cigarette lighter socket for standard 12V accessories, USB-C PD3.0 ports delivering up to 65W for fast-charging laptops and tablets, USB-A QC3.0 port for quick-charging smartphones, and additional 45W USB-C ports for multiple devices simultaneously. Eliminates the need for separate USB adaptors and cigarette lighter splitters.

Bluetooth BMS with Smartphone App: Monitor battery status in real-time via smartphone app. Check voltage, current draw, state of charge, temperature, and individual cell voltages without opening panels or checking displays. Set low-voltage alerts, track power consumption over time, and diagnose issues remotely. The Bluetooth connectivity puts complete battery management in your pocket.

Safe LiFePO4 Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is the safest lithium chemistry, resistant to thermal runaway and far more stable than lithium-ion alternatives. Combined with the integrated BMS providing over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection, this battery is engineered for safe operation even in harsh Australian touring conditions.

3000 Cycle Longevity: Rated for 3000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, this battery will outlast conventional lead-acid batteries by 5–10 times. For weekend warriors doing 30–40 camping trips per year, that translates to 7–10 years of reliable service. The long cycle life offsets the higher initial cost compared to AGM batteries.

Wide Temperature Operating Range: Operates in extreme conditions from -20°C discharge to 60°C, making it suitable for alpine winter camping through outback summer touring. The BMS monitors temperature and automatically adjusts charging/discharging parameters to protect cells. High-temperature cutoff at 65°C prevents thermal damage in extreme heat.

Compact and Portable at 11.5kg: At less than half the weight of an equivalent 80Ah AGM battery (typically 25–30kg), this lithium battery is easy to handle, install, and swap between vehicles. The compact 181 × 136 × 320mm footprint fits in tight spaces including under-seat locations, canopy battery boxes, and caravan A-frame compartments.

Robust SPCC Steel Housing: The steel housing provides physical protection against impacts, vibration, and the rough treatment common to off-road touring. Unlike plastic-cased batteries that can crack or deform, the SPCC housing maintains structural integrity through corrugated roads, vehicle articulation, and accidental impacts.

5-Year Warranty Confidence: Baintech backs this battery with a comprehensive 5-year warranty, demonstrating confidence in LiFePO4 longevity and BMS protection systems. This warranty coverage is exceptional in the lithium battery market and provides peace of mind for the significant investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices can I charge from the USB ports?

The USB-C PD3.0 65W port handles laptops, tablets, and power-hungry devices. The USB-A QC3.0 65W port provides fast charging for smartphones and smaller electronics. The two additional USB-C 45W ports charge multiple devices simultaneously. You can charge a laptop, two phones, and a tablet all at once without needing separate USB adaptors.

How long does it take to charge with the included 10A charger?

At 10A charging current, the 80Ah battery requires approximately 8–10 hours for a full charge from empty (accounting for charging efficiency and absorption phase). Most camping scenarios involve topping up partially discharged batteries, reducing charge time to 3–5 hours. For faster charging, add DC-DC charging from your vehicle's alternator via the Anderson plugs.

Can I connect this battery in parallel for more capacity?

Parallel connection capability depends on BMS compatibility. Check Baintech documentation for parallel connection guidelines—some BMS systems support parallel configuration with identical batteries, while others do not. If parallel connection is supported, two 80Ah batteries would provide 160Ah total capacity.

What size fridge will this run and for how long?

A typical 45L portable fridge draws 3–5A (40–65W) depending on ambient temperature and insulation. At 4A average draw, the 80Ah battery provides approximately 20 hours runtime at 80% depth of discharge. In cooler conditions or well-insulated fridges, runtime extends to 24–30 hours. Larger 60–70L fridges reduce runtime proportionally.

Does the Bluetooth app work on both iPhone and Android?

Baintech's Bluetooth monitoring apps typically support both iOS and Android platforms. Download the appropriate app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Confirm specific app compatibility and features in the Baintech user documentation or on their website.
