CATL 240Ah 3.2V Grade A LiFePO4 Prismatic Battery Cell – Cold Weather EV Grade – Discharge Down to -30°C for Northern Climates

CATL 240Ah: Reliable and Cold-Resistant Power The CATL 240Ah 3.2V prismatic cell is a robust Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery designed for demanding environments. It features industry-standard VDA dimensions, making it highly versatile for modular battery pack assembly. Unlike many standard LFP cells that struggle in the cold, this premium model is engineered to discharge effectively even at -30°C.

🚀 Key Performance Advantages

  • Low-Temperature Excellence: While standard LFP cells often cut off at -20°C, the CATL 240Ah supports discharge down to -30°C, making it the preferred choice for EVs and off-grid systems in colder regions.

  • Standard VDA Size: Sharing the same footprint as the popular 271Ah and 280Ah cells (approx. 71x174x207mm), it can be used in standard battery boxes and compression fixtures, simplifying your supply chain management.

  • High-Level Safety & Stability: The cobalt-free LiFePO4 chemistry and prismatic aluminum shell provide maximum thermal stability and superior protection for your energy storage system.

❓ Q:What are the exact dimensions of the CATL 240Ah?
💡 A:

It measures 71.3mm (Thickness) x 207.0mm (Width) x 173.9mm (Height). This is the standard VDA size used by many global EV manufacturers, ensuring high compatibility with existing hardware.

💡 A:

Yes. One of its standout features is the ability to discharge at temperatures as low as -30°C, whereas standard LFP cells often stop functioning reliably at -20°C.

💡 A:

Yes. Connecting 4 cells in series (4S) creates a 12.8V 240Ah battery pack. This provides roughly 3kWh of high-performance energy storage, ideal for RVs, marine use, or small solar setups.

Warnings & Cautions

Stop charging cells if charging isn’t completed within the specified time.

Stop using cells if the battery becomes abnormally hot, develops an odor, becomes discolored, deformed, or develops any other abnormal conditions during use, charge, discharge, or storage.

Keep away from fire or hot heat sources immediately when a leakage or foul odors are detected. If liquid leaks onto your skin or cloths, wash it out with plenty of fresh water immediately if liquid leaks from cells and gets into your eyes, don’t rub your eyes. Wash your eyes out with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention immediately.

Notice: Standard VDA dimensions allow compatibility with most 280Ah fixtures. Always ensure your BMS supports the specific capacity and current ratings.
