Vatrer 460Ah Battery 5888Wh of Power at a Great Budget
We are big fans of lithium or lifePO4 batteries for RV travel. Over the past year we have tested and used a number of batteries from 100Ah to 300Ah in size from a number of manufacturers. We were contacted by Vatrer recently and asked if we would be interested in evaluating their new 460Ah battery. We recently put the battery through and extensive 36 hour practical use evaluation as well as a stress test.
Vatrer 460Ah Battery Specifications
The Vatrer 460Ah battery was specifically designed for RVs and serves as the perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries. Not only does it boast a capacity of 5,888Wh, but it also has an impressive maximum load power of 3,200W.

We also found the Vatrer 460Ah battery BMS works in conjunction with a Bluetooth module to transmit battery parameters to our smartphone, allowing us to monitor the battery’s status. The smartphone app is available for Apple IOS and Android. The app was easy to install and very responsive. We tested the app against a Victron Smart Shunt and found the readings were virtually identical.
Testing and Results
In the video below we show our battery testing that took 3 days to complete. We started with a load test to see the performance of the battery with a consistent 2,900 watts of power draw. The battery handled the load with no issues.
Our next test took 36 hours to complete where we installed the battery in our Montana 5th wheel and created a simulated two days of travel with an overnight stop. We ran our residential fridge continuously for the 36 hours along with a night of TV viewing, lights, and fans and the following morning we made coffee and used a toaster to add heavy amperage demands on the battery. We also show the demand of bringing our heavy sides in and out along with the time that it would take for two long tows.
Overall the battery perform very well with 26% of the battery capacity remaining after the 36 hour test.
Our thanks to Vatrer for providing the 460Hr battery for our evaluation. Our plans are to continue to use the battery with plans for 6 months of heavy travel and we’ll provide an update later in the year on the performance.
