NOVA Base & Core 2: The New LiFePO4 Battery Series from WATTSTUNDE

NOVA Base & Core 2: Die neue LiFePO4-Batterieserie von WATTSTUNDE

More freedom, longer trips, and always knowing exactly how much energy you have. Sounds good? Then the new NOVA 2 series is perfect for you!

The NOVA Base 2 and NOVA Core 2 are the next generation of the proven NOVA series. They pick up where others leave off. With enhanced battery management, Bluetooth 5.0, real-time app connectivity, and a range of models from 60 Ah to 500 Ah, NOVA 2 is built for anyone looking to take their camper, van, or off-grid setup to the next level.

What is the NOVA 2 series designed for?

Freedom means you decide where you sleep, where you stop, and how long you stay—not your battery. Whether you're deep in the mountains, at a campsite without an electrical connection, or far out in the woods, the right power supply means there are no limits. Lights, refrigerators, heaters, inverters, coffee machines—it all works for as long as you want.

That's exactly what the NOVA 2 series is designed for. As a LiFePO4 battery series for campers, van life, and off-grid applications, it provides the energy you need reliably and transparently. No compromises on capacity. Just you, your vehicle, and the freedom that drives you.

What's new with the NOVA 2: Innovation in every cell

NOVA 2 batteries feature several technical updates that you'll notice right away in everyday use. 

New CAN bus interface

Thanks to its integrated CAN bus interface, the NOVA Core 2 can communicate natively with Victron displays and controllers. This is particularly exciting if you already use a Victron system or want to expand your setup in that direction.

More powerful BMS (Battery Management System)

The heart of every lithium battery is the BMS, or Battery Management System. It monitors and controls all critical operating parameters: state of charge, temperature, voltage, and current. The BMS in NOVA 2 has been specifically redesigned. The result: more robust protection features, more stable operation under load, and a better foundation for a long service life. In short, the BMS works in the background so you can focus on your adventure, not your battery.

New Bluetooth module: Bluetooth 5.0

The connection between the battery and the app uses Bluetooth 5.0 in NOVA 2. This means faster pairing, a more stable connection, and more reliable data transmission, even when your smartphone isn't right next to the battery. Especially in everyday use, when you want to quickly check the state of charge, a stable connection makes all the difference.

Low self-discharge

A battery with a high self-discharge rate costs you energy without giving you anything in return. The NOVA 2 series is designed for low self-discharge. This is particularly important when the vehicle is parked for extended periods, for example between trips or during the off-season.

New design & new packaging

NOVA 2 isn't just technically redesigned; it also looks new. The fresh design makes the battery a harmonious part of modern vehicle and off-grid setups. The packaging has also been redesigned for easier handling during transport and installation.

Future-proof certification

Anyone investing in battery technology today wants to be sure that the product will still meet legal requirements tomorrow. NOVA 2 models are certified according to UN ECE R10.7, an internationally recognized standard for electromagnetic compatibility in vehicles. This gives you peace of mind—not only technically but also from a regulatory standpoint.

NOVA App & Connectivity: Battery data in real time

Modern power supply means not only "capacity" but also "oversight." With NOVA 2, you get both.

The app lets you monitor your battery and provides transparent data on the state of charge and energy consumption, including data logging. This is particularly useful if you want to optimize energy consumption, understand charging times, or specifically expand your setup. The connection between the battery and your smartphone uses Bluetooth 5.0. This allows you to quickly pair your NOVA battery and reliably access the most important data in the app.

NOVA Base 2, the smart foundation for modern camper setups

The NOVA Base 2 is the entry point into the NOVA 2 world, with app connectivity and a range of models that covers many typical camper and van life setups.

NOVA Base 2 highlights

  • 5-year warranty
  • Bluetooth 5.0 and NOVA App with real-time overview & data logging
  • Weight advantage: up to 60% lighter than AGM batteries

The Base series includes these variants:

  • 12.8 V 60 Ah (768 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 100 Ah (1,280 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 200 Ah (2,560 Wh)

NOVA Core 2: For performance, cold weather, and demanding requirements

The NOVA Core 2 series is for anyone who wants more power reserves, higher currents, and, above all, winter charging capability. The large flagship model with its very high capacity is particularly exciting.

NOVA Core 2 highlights

  • 7-year warranty
  • Integrated heating mat: enables charging down to -30 °C
  • Bluetooth 5.0 + app monitoring & data logging
  • CAN bus for system integration
  • Active cell balancing

The Core series includes these variants:

  • 12.8 V 100 Ah (1,280 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 150 Ah (1,920 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 180 Ah (2,304 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 200 Ah (2,560 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 320 Ah (4,096 Wh)
  • 12.8 V 500 Ah (6,400 Wh)

Charging in winter: Heating mat enables charging down to -30 °C

The major advantage of the Core series is charging at low temperatures: thanks to the integrated heating mat, the battery can be charged down to -30 °C (charging range: -30 °C to +45 °C). This is particularly relevant if your vehicle is parked outside in winter or if you travel year-round.

Under-seat battery: compact high capacity under the seat

One highlight of the series is the ability to fit a lot of capacity compactly, enabling an under-seat battery solution. Especially when every centimeter counts in the vehicle, the space under the seat can be a real game changer: you can use a space that often goes unused, keep cable runs short, and still have a power system with plenty of reserves for everyday use, weekends, and long trips. If you're looking for maximum self-sufficiency in a confined space, this is a strong argument in your planning.

The following batteries fit under the seat:

  • 1x or 2x NOVA Base 2 60Ah
  • 1x or 2x NOVA Base 2 100Ah
  • 1x or 2x NOVA Core 2 100Ah
  • 1x or 2x NOVA Core 2 150Ah
  • 1x or 2x NOVA Core 2 180Ah
  • *1x NOVA Core 2 320Ah
  • *1x NOVA Core 2 500Ah

*Please check before purchase whether the battery will fit your vehicle, as the battery does not fit under all models. Some vehicle models may require modifications to the seat frame.

Connecting multiple batteries

NOVA 2 batteries can be connected together. You can combine up to 4 batteries, either in parallel for more capacity or in series for higher system voltages. This gives you the freedom to tailor your setup exactly to your needs, whether you need more self-sufficiency or want to build a 24 V or 48 V system. Make sure that the batteries are identical.

Easy installation: DIN standard dimensions

Many NOVA 2 models (including the 100 Ah variants) follow DIN standard dimensions. What this means for you: If you want to replace an old lead-acid or AGM battery, NOVA 2 batteries often fit directly into the existing bracket. No conversion, no modifications—simply install, check the system, and get started.

NOVA 2 brings you modern battery technology for more freedom

With NOVA Base 2 and NOVA Core 2, you get a LiFePO4 battery series tailored to modern camper and off-grid requirements: app transparency, Bluetooth 5.0, CAN bus, enhanced BMS, high discharge currents, and a range of models up to the 500 Ah solution. If you travel year-round or want to charge in winter, the Core series with its heating mat plays to its strengths, and if you're looking for a smart, solid foundation, the Base series is a very harmonious entry point. 

Because in the end, more energy means more freedom, and with NOVA 2, you decide how far your next adventure goes.
