This package pairs two BigBattery 12V HUSKY2 LiFePO4 batteries with a Links2 Node 12 RV control system and a Links2 Vision 10 embedded monitor. It's built for RVs, boats, and small off-grid setups that need both battery capacity and a way to manage tanks, lighting, and other 12V circuits from one screen.
Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
Field-Tested Perspective
Two HUSKY2 batteries wired together give you 10.24 kWh of usable LiFePO4 capacity feeding a 12V RV or off-grid electrical system. That's a meaningful jump over lead-acid banks of similar physical footprint, and the Links2 control system is what turns that capacity into something you can actually monitor and manage — tank levels, LPG sensors, fused outputs, all from a 10.1-inch touchscreen instead of a wall of manual switches. This is a system for someone rebuilding or upgrading an RV/van electrical bay who wants centralized control, not just more amp-hours.
Battery Characteristics
Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate). Each HUSKY2 battery is rated at 5.12 kWh and built with Tier 1 LFP cells. The case carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and the battery includes self-heating for cold-weather charging. An onboard BMS manages cell balancing and protection. This "INV" variant includes inverter communications for compatible inverter systems.
Wiring & Configuration Limits
This package includes two HUSKY2 batteries intended for parallel connection to build a 12V bank at combined 10.24 kWh capacity. [NEEDS VERIFICATION: maximum parallel unit count and series wiring limits for HUSKY2 are not stated in the provided data.]
Do not wire HUSKY2 batteries in series to raise system voltage unless BigBattery documentation explicitly confirms this configuration is supported — that confirmation is not present in this data set. Do not mix HUSKY2 batteries with lead-acid, AGM, or other lithium battery types in the same bank.
Pro-Installer Tip
Mixing battery ages or brands within a parallel bank is a common way to end up with a BMS lockout months down the road. Slight differences in internal resistance between an older and newer LiFePO4 battery cause current to split unevenly during charge and discharge, and one unit works harder than the others until its BMS trips on a protection fault. Prevent this by installing both HUSKY2 units at the same time, from the same batch if possible, and verifying balanced voltage across both before first charge with a shunt-based battery monitor. As a professional standard, size your daily discharge around 80-100% DoD for LiFePO4 rather than the 50% DoD ceiling used for lead-acid — that's a large part of why this chemistry gets chosen for RV upgrades in the first place.

Compatibility & Fitment
This system is designed for 12V RV, marine, and small off-grid applications. The Links2 Node 12 operates at 9-18V input, so it is compatible with standard 12V house battery banks. It is NOT designed for 24V or 48V systems.
The Links2 Vision 10 monitor connects via RS485 and RVC interfaces and supports OTG firmware upgrades and USB device connections. It is NOT a standalone battery monitor for non-Links2 control hardware — [NEEDS VERIFICATION: compatibility with third-party RV control systems outside the Links2/LinksWell ecosystem].
Standard lead-acid chargers are NOT recommended for the HUSKY2 batteries; use a charger rated for LiFePO4. Do not mix these batteries with lead-acid, AGM, or Gel batteries in the same bank.

FAQ
What is the total capacity of this system?
The package includes two HUSKY2 12V LiFePO4 batteries, each rated at 5.12 kWh, for a combined 10.24 kWh when wired in parallel.
Does this system include cold-weather protection?
Yes. The HUSKY2 batteries include self-heating for charging support in cold conditions.
Can these batteries be wired in series for a higher-voltage system?
Series wiring is not confirmed in the available manufacturer data for this configuration. Do not wire these batteries in series unless BigBattery documentation specifically confirms support for that setup.
What does the Links2 Node 12 control?
It manages four 30A output channels (including two H-Bridge sets) and eight 10A dimmable PWM channels, along with 12 override switches, 12 digital inputs, and sensor inputs for tanks, fuel, LPG, temperature, and voltage.
Can I use a standard lead-acid charger with the HUSKY2 batteries?
No. These are LiFePO4 batteries and require a charger designed for that chemistry.
