GXO iTechworld iTECH120X PRO 240Ah Lithium Battery Upgrade with REDARC BCDC Classic40 – Fitted

This fitted GXO battery upgrade installs two iTechworld iTECH120X PRO 12V 120Ah LiFePO4 deep-cycle batteries and a REDARC BCDC Classic40 12V 40A DC-DC battery charger.

The two iTECH120X PRO batteries are configured as a 12V auxiliary battery bank, providing a combined usable capacity of 240Ah. Each battery incorporates Bluetooth monitoring, an internal battery-management system and a sealed IP67-rated enclosure.

Charging is managed by the REDARC BCDC1240D, which can accept power from the vehicle charging system and a compatible solar source. Its integrated MPPT solar regulator supports simultaneous alternator and solar charging while applying a dedicated lithium charging profile to the auxiliary battery bank.

The batteries and charger are professionally mounted, electrically connected, configured and tested by AAV4x4 at our Brendale workshop.

240Ah iTECH120X PRO Lithium Battery Bank

The upgrade includes two iTechworld iTECH120X PRO lithium iron phosphate batteries. Each battery provides 120Ah of usable capacity at a nominal voltage of 12.8V.

Configured together as a 12V auxiliary bank, the two batteries provide:

  • 240Ah combined usable capacity
  • 12.8V nominal battery-bank voltage
  • Two independently managed LiFePO4 battery units
  • 26.4kg combined battery weight

The batteries are designed for deep-cycle energy storage and must not be used as engine-cranking batteries.

100% Usable Capacity

Each iTECH120X PRO has a published usable capacity of 120Ah. This allows the complete rated capacity to be used within the operating limits of the battery-management system.

The two-battery configuration therefore provides a combined usable auxiliary capacity of 240Ah.

Bluetooth Battery Monitoring

Each iTECH120X PRO incorporates Bluetooth connectivity and can be monitored through the compatible iTechConnect battery-management app.

Available real-time battery information includes:

  • Battery voltage
  • Current flow
  • Remaining capacity
  • Battery temperature

Bluetooth monitoring allows the condition of each battery to be checked without requiring direct physical access to the battery compartment.

Integrated Battery-Management System

Each battery contains an internal battery-management system designed to monitor battery operation, balance the internal cells and provide electrical protection.

Published BMS functions and operating limits include:

  • Automatic cell balancing
  • Short-circuit protection
  • 15V charging cut-off
  • 10.5V low-voltage cut-off
  • 80°C safety-protection isolation
  • Maximum charge current of 100A per battery

The permitted charging and discharge current of the completed battery bank remains subject to the batteries, cabling, circuit protection and lowest-rated component in the electrical system.

Prismatic Cell Construction

The iTECH120X PRO uses prismatic LiFePO4 cells with vibration-dampening construction. This design is intended to provide stability and vibration resistance for mobile battery installations.

Battery Output Capability

Each iTECH120X PRO has a published continuous discharge rating of 150A and a maximum discharge rating of 430A for five seconds.

The available output from the completed two-battery bank depends on the battery configuration and the ratings of the associated cabling, fuses, isolation equipment, distribution system and connected loads.

Cycle Performance

The manufacturer lists the following cycle performance for each iTECH120X PRO:

  • More than 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge
  • More than 10,000 cycles at 40% depth of discharge

Actual service life depends on charging conditions, depth of discharge, temperature, storage, installation and operating environment.

IP67 Battery Enclosures

Each iTECH120X PRO has an IP67-rated enclosure. This provides protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water within the limits of the rating.

The batteries use ABS cases and M8 electrical terminals.

REDARC BCDC Classic40 DC-DC Charger

The REDARC BCDC1240D Classic40 is a 12V 40A in-vehicle DC-DC battery charger designed to charge an auxiliary battery bank from the vehicle electrical system while driving or from a compatible solar source while parked.

The charger accepts an input voltage between 9V and 32V, allowing it to operate with compatible vehicles using either 12V or 24V charging systems. It provides a regulated 12V output with a maximum rated charging current of 40A.

Alternator and Solar Charging

The BCDC Classic40 provides separate inputs for the vehicle charging system and a compatible solar source. It can use both inputs simultaneously while charging the auxiliary battery bank.

The system can receive available charging power from:

  • The vehicle alternator while the engine is running
  • A compatible connected solar source
  • Alternator and solar inputs at the same time

Integrated MPPT Solar Regulator

The REDARC charger incorporates a Maximum Power Point Tracking solar regulator. MPPT control continually adjusts the operating point of a compatible solar source to obtain the available solar power efficiently.

The charger accepts a solar-input voltage between 9V and 32V. Any connected solar source must remain within the charger’s voltage, current and power limits.

Green Power Priority

Green Power Priority gives available solar energy preference over alternator input. When sufficient solar power is available, the charger uses that energy first, reducing the charging demand placed on the vehicle alternator.

Smart Alternator Compatibility

The BCDC Classic40 is suitable for conventional alternators and variable-voltage smart alternators. Its controlled DC-DC output maintains an appropriate charging supply to the auxiliary battery bank as vehicle-system voltage changes.

Lithium Charging Profile

The REDARC charger includes a dedicated LiFePO4 charging profile. During installation, the charging configuration is selected to suit the installed iTECH120X PRO battery bank.

The batteries have a manufacturer-recommended charging voltage of 14.4V.

Professional Installation

This GXO lithium battery upgrade is professionally fitted by AAV4x4 at our Brendale workshop. Installation includes:

  • Secure mounting of two iTECH120X PRO lithium batteries
  • Configuration of the batteries as a compatible 12V auxiliary bank
  • Secure mounting of the REDARC BCDC Classic40 charger
  • Electrical connection to the vehicle charging system
  • Connection to the compatible solar-input circuit where applicable
  • Selection of the lithium charging profile
  • Polarity and electrical-connection checks
  • Operational testing after installation

Final battery positions, charger location and cable routes depend on the GXO configuration, available mounting space and existing electrical installation.

Important Note

This fitted upgrade provides a combined usable auxiliary battery capacity of 240Ah.

The iTECH120X PRO batteries are deep-cycle storage batteries and must not be used as engine-cranking batteries.

Solar panels are not listed as included with this battery upgrade. The REDARC charger provides a solar input for connection to a compatible solar source where one forms part of the GXO electrical system.

Available auxiliary power and permitted electrical loads depend on the connected equipment, cabling, circuit protection and complete GXO electrical configuration.
