Description
24V 12Ah Lithium Battery — CLI12-24
The Canbat CLI12-24 is a 24V 12Ah lithium battery delivering 307.2Wh of usable LiFePO4 energy in a compact 182 × 77 × 168 mm footprint at just 6 lbs (2.72 kg) — the most compact model in the Canbat 24V lithium lineup, purpose-built as a native 24V utility platform for remote monitoring systems, compact marine electronics, field instrumentation, auxiliary electronics, mobile equipment, and low-to-moderate draw deployments where a lightweight single-unit 24V source is the specification. At 6 lbs, it is one of the lightest native 24V lithium batteries available — delivering the system simplicity and efficiency advantages of a native 24V architecture in the smallest and most deployable format in the Canbat 24V range.
Like all models in the Canbat 24V lineup, the CLI12-24 provides 24V natively from a single integrated unit — eliminating the wiring complexity, charge-state management, and additional failure points of a two-battery 12V series configuration. A single M6 terminal connection to the 24V system and one integrated BMS managing the full 24V cell stack is all that is required.
It ships free across Canada and the USA, carries a 10-year warranty, and is built with UL 1642 certified cells. For Canada and USA orders, there are no import duties or cross-border complications.
Native 24V Architecture — 307.2Wh at Just 6 lbs
At the same power output, a 24V system draws half the current of an equivalent 12V system — reducing resistive losses across cable runs, allowing smaller gauge wiring, and improving overall system efficiency. For compact electronics, instrumentation, and low-draw auxiliary systems operating at 24V, the CLI12-24 delivers this efficiency advantage in the lightest and most space-efficient form factor available in the Canbat native 24V lineup.
Its low self-discharge rate — under 3% per month — supports installations that operate unattended for extended periods between service visits, making it well suited for remote monitoring stations, seasonal deployments, and field instrumentation where battery access is infrequent. The 3,000–5,000 cycle life at 100% depth of discharge significantly extends the service interval between replacement events compared to sealed lead-acid alternatives in comparable 24V utility applications.
Up to 4 CLI12-24 units can be connected in parallel to reach 48Ah / 1,228.8Wh at 24V — providing additional reserve capacity while retaining the compact form factor of each individual unit.
Applications
Remote Monitoring & Field Instrumentation
For remote monitoring stations, environmental sensors, field data collection equipment, and instrumentation systems operating on a native 24V architecture, the CLI12-24 provides a compact, reliable power source with minimal maintenance overhead. Its low self-discharge rate and 3,000–5,000 cycle life reduce service frequency in remote or difficult-to-access installations where battery replacement requires a scheduled deployment.
Compact Marine Electronics
For small vessels and kayak platforms running 24V electronics — fishfinders, chartplotters, and navigation equipment — the CLI12-24 provides a lightweight native 24V power source that eliminates the need for a two-battery series configuration. At 6 lbs in a compact footprint, it adds minimal weight and occupies minimal space in installations where every pound and every cubic inch of battery compartment matters.
Mobile Equipment & Auxiliary Systems
For compact mobile equipment platforms, traffic control devices, communications equipment, and auxiliary power systems operating at 24V where physical size and deployment weight are the primary constraints, the CLI12-24 delivers native 24V performance in the most lightweight deployable format in the Canbat 24V lineup — with the maintenance-free sealed construction required for enclosed enclosures and space-constrained installations.
Backup & Standby Auxiliary Power
For 24V backup power systems, standby auxiliary electronics, and small UPS-style applications where a compact native 24V lithium source is required, the CLI12-24 provides reliable standby performance with stable voltage output and low self-discharge — maintaining charge over extended standby periods more effectively than sealed lead-acid alternatives in comparable 24V utility applications.
24V 12Ah Lithium Battery — Compact Native 24V Platform for Monitoring & Auxiliary Systems
The CLI12-24 is Canbat’s most compact 24V lithium battery — a native 24V LiFePO4 utility platform designed for buyers sourcing a 24V 12Ah lithium battery for remote monitoring systems, field instrumentation, compact marine electronics, mobile equipment, and auxiliary power deployments where minimum weight, compact dimensions, and native 24V architecture define the specification.
For Canadians sourcing a 24V 12Ah lithium battery, the CLI12-24 ships free with no import duties, is backed by a Canadian technical team, and carries a 10-year warranty. Compatible with all major 24V chargers and charge controllers that support a LiFePO4 charging profile.
Runtime & Performance
The CLI12-24 delivers 307.2Wh of usable energy at 24V nominal — all accessible at 100% depth of discharge with stable voltage throughout:
| Application / Load | Average Draw | Estimated Runtime |
