Description
The Safari UT™ 250 replaces lead acid batteries for energy storage and for auxiliary power. It’s great for smaller power needs than the Safari UT™ 700 or 1300.
- Last Longer – 7 year warranty
- Maintenance Free – Retains charge up to 1 year, no trickle charging or fluids needed
- Fast Charging and Lightweight – 15% faster charging with smart Battery Management System (BMS) and only 5 lbs
- Longer Run Time – Uses all the stored energy instead of 50% like lead acid batteries do

BENEFITS
Weighs Less
At only 5.2 lbs, it super light weight.
Safety
Made from Lithium Iron Phosphate, it’s the safest lithium battery on the market. You can use it indoors or outdoors.
Lasts Longer
Long lasting life cycles at 2,500+ using full depth of discharge (DOD). It can hold a charge for up to 1 year.
Renewable Solar Batteries
Use the power of the sun to fully recharge the UT 250 in as little as 2.5 hrs.
2X the Energy
You can use all the stored energy (20Ah) of the UT 250 instead of only half, like lead acid batteries do.
Expandable for More Power
If 20A continuously and a 35A peak, isn’t quite enough, connect two in parallel or in series for more power and capacity.
Zero Maintenance
No fluids. No trickle charging. No mess. The Safari UT 250 just works – day in and day out.
7 Year Warranty
Using Lithium Iron Phosphate technology it can be drained and recharged over 2,500 times – much longer than Lead Acid batteries. That is why it’s backed by a 7 year warranty.
Environmentally Friendly
Produces zero emissions or carbon footprint during use, no greenhouse gases, and does not damage the environment. It’s good for you and the planet.
SMART BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS)
Our UT battery series comes with our own proprietary BMS that will protect your battery from harm. It’s like having its own bodyguard.
The Safari UT series all have an internal Battery Management System (BMS) that acts as a safety net to shut down the battery if it goes outside of set parameters. This prevents the battery from overcharging or discharging as well as operating outside of specified temperature range.
WHY WE USE LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE
Lithium Iron Phosphate, or LiFePO4, batteries are one of the most durable and reliable energy sources on the market and a drastic improvement over lead acid in safety, weight, capacity and shelf life.
Safety
Lithium Iron Phosphate is the safest lithium on the market. It will not explode or catch on fire. It is absent of potentially volatile chemicals that are found in other lithium cells.
Long Lifespan
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries have up to 6,000+ life cycles without significantly decreasing performance. That means they last for years and years. By comparison, the average lifetime of lead-acid batteries is just two years.
High Efficiency
Lithium Iron Phosphate has 100% of its capacity available for use. It can be quickly charged, discharged, and recharged again, reducing any downtime, which increases efficiency. This makes it a great fit for a variety of applications.
No Active Maintenance
It does not require active maintenance to extend its service life. The batteries show no memory effects and can be stored for long periods of time because of the extremely low self-discharge rate (<3% per month). No need to trickle charge.
Flexible Use
Because they emit no fumes or require little air flow, you can use them inside or outside. They can be stacked on top of each other or can be used in any position and a variety of uses like in RVs, Trailers, Outbuildings, Boats, and DIY projects.
Peaks and Valleys Energy Use
Using Lithium Iron Phosphate for energy storage, you can optimize usages and help solve the peaks and valleys that occurs during high and low energy demand usages. This also can help to stabilize the grid from intense demand cycles by allowing you to use the stored energy when you need it.
Renewable Power
For the first time, green energy can not only be generated but effectively stored and used as needed. You can harness the power of the sun and use it over and over again, when you need it.
Lightweight and Portable
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are relatively small and light weight. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium provides great energy density at about half the mass and weight.
Energy Independence
Energy storage allows you to be independent of the grid so you can have energy where and when you want it. So, no worries about black outs, brown outs, or when the grid goes down. And you don’t have to be tethered to the wall or wiring.
