XS Power Batteries Unveils Titan 8 at CES 2020

January 10, 2020 -- CES marks the official full release of the new Titan 8 Series Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery lineup designed with the most demanding enthusiasts in mind.  The unique modular design allows users from nearly any market segment to benefit from the many well thought out features it brings. With 2V, 12V, 14V, and 16V modules available in either high power or high reserve capacity configurations, this series will find itself right at home in Mobile Audio, Commercial, Leisure, Marine, Powersports, Racing and many other applications. 

The built in 2/0 bussing allows up to 4 Positive and 4 Negative hidden direct connections to each module without the need for any external exposed bussing, while still leaving two easily accessible top terminals and four series or parallel expansion terminals to easily build a bank of nearly any configuration from 12V, 14V, 16V, 24V, 28V, 36V, 48V, or any configuration imaginable. With the unique design, single 2.4V individual modules can be made for even further installation flexibility.  Each module comes packed with all the required accessories including two XS Logo cable covers, expansion bussing with rubberized insulating covers, mounting hardware, and all the terminal set screws and bolts required.

Each module comes standard with built in balancing system and can be upgraded to include Bluetooth connectivity that allows remote cell monitoring, internal temperature sensing, battery health monitoring and can be configured to send notifications to any tablet or smartphone when any user preset limit is met, including low voltage, over temp, over charge, etc.  Usage data is stored in the app to assist with trouble shooting and allows the user to enjoy an extended warranty up to 4 years. Multiple Titan 8 batteries can be monitored from one app from a single installation, or multiple different vehicle installations. 

The initial release includes the modules listed below with their voltage, power, capacity and price listed. Many more options will be available soon including BCI direct fit models that are fully insulated with temperature monitoring built in that are suitable for use in the factory under hood position.

Power Modules - Designed for Peak Power

This series uses a very high power lithium cell that is designed for very high burst output (up to 100 times its capacity) as well as very high charge current (30-60 times its capacity).  This translates to a single 10Ah module that can support burst current up to 1,000A, and can accept 300A of continuous charge current.

PWR-S5: $599.99
12V, 10Ah, 5,000W - 8,000W

PWR-S6: $699.99
14V, 10Ah, 6,000W - 9,000W

PWR-S7: $799.99
16V, 10Ah, 7,000W - 10,000W

Reserve Modules - Designed for Peak Capacity

This series uses a cell that is designed to maximize capacity and deep cycling abilities. Although it is physically the same size as the power series, it has double the amount of storage energy but only half of the instant discharge energy. This gives it double the capacity rating, but half of the wattage rating. In some installations, it may be desirable to use one or more modules from each series to get the desired wattage and capacity. In this type of installation, we recommend the PWR module be placed nearest any high amperage loads.

RSV-S5: $649.99
12V, 20Ah, 2,500W - 4,000W

RSV-S6: $769.99
14V, 20Ah, 3,000W - 4,500W

RSV-S7: $889.99
16V - 20Ah, 3,500W - 5,000W

BCI Models soon to come include 51, 51R, 47, 48, 49, 34, 34R, and 65.

All Titan 8 products are backed with a one year free replacement warranty which is extended to 4 years when purchased with the Bluetooth battery management system included.

Pre Orders will be accepted beginning January 15th with the first wave of shipments expected to ship in late February.
