This package pairs a 12V 400Ah HUSKY2 LiFePO4 battery (INV version, with inverter communications) with the Links2 Node 12 RV Control System and the Links2 Vision 10 Embedded Monitor. It's built for RVs, boats, and small off-grid homes that need both battery capacity and centralized control over lighting, tanks, fuel, LPG, and other 12V systems.
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.
Why This System Matters
LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry is the standard for RV and marine applications where cycle life and weight matter more than upfront cost. The HUSKY2 pack in this bundle stores 5.12kWh, built from Tier 1 LFP cells, with an IP65-rated case and self-heating for cold-weather charging protection. Adding the Links2 Node 12 and Vision 10 monitor gives you a single interface for battery status, tank levels, fuel, LPG, and RV electrical loads — instead of separate gauges and switches scattered around the coach.

Wiring & Configuration Limits (Series/Parallel)
Series/parallel wiring limits for the HUSKY2 battery are not specified in manufacturer data provided for this listing. [NEEDS VERIFICATION] Do not wire batteries of different ages, capacities, or chemistries together in the same bank. Do not exceed the battery's BMS-rated continuous discharge/charge amperage when sizing inverters or chargers. [NEEDS VERIFICATION]
Pro-Installer Tip
Cold-climate installers often see lithium packs go into BMS lockout after a hard freeze, not because the cell chemistry failed, but because charging was attempted below the pack's minimum temperature threshold, damaging cells through lithium plating. This HUSKY2 pack includes self-heating to mitigate that risk, but you should still confirm the heater engages before applying charge current in sub-freezing conditions. Verify state of charge and pack temperature with a shunt-based battery monitor rather than relying on voltage alone — voltage sag under load can mask a cold, partially heated pack. As a professional standard, keep depth of discharge in the 80-100% range typical for LiFePO4, but avoid charging until the heater has stabilized internal temperature.

Compatibility & Fitment
This system is designed for RV, marine, and small off-grid home applications. The HUSKY2 INV variant includes inverter communications, making it suited for pairing with compatible inverter systems. The Links2 Node 12 control system operates at 9-18V, matching standard 12V RV electrical systems, and communicates via RS485 and CAN/RV-C protocols.
This system is NOT a starter battery and is not intended for engine cranking applications. Standard lead-acid chargers are NOT recommended for this LiFePO4 pack — use a charger compatible with LiFePO4 charge profiles. Series/parallel expansion limits for the battery are not specified in the source data; do not assume compatibility with other BigBattery models without confirming configuration limits.
