Fogstar – Advance Yacht Systems

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Fogstar is a UK-designed and UK-supported range of LiFePO4 house batteries for 12V and 24V boats. Every Drift Gen 2 battery is built on Grade A EVE prismatic cells with a 300A smart BMS, built-in heating and a 10-year warranty.

The Gen 2 range runs from 230Ah to 628Ah at 12V, with 230Ah and 300Ah models at 24V. 12V units link up to 16 in parallel or 4 in series, for larger banks or 48V systems.

Fogstar Drift Gen 2 LiFePO4 house batteries

Lithium capacity for the service bank, with the balancing, heating and monitoring already inside the case:

  • 300A smart BMS with a 2A active balancer built in, engaging whenever cells drift more than 0.015V apart
  • 0.2A shunt accuracy for state of charge you can trust at the panel or on your phone
  • Built-in heating that switches on automatically between 0°C and 10°C, powered by the incoming charge rather than the battery itself, so cold-weather charging doesn’t cost you capacity
  • Victron-ready over CAN via Cerbo GX, plus Bluetooth monitoring of voltage, current, state of charge and temperature in the Fogstar Drift app
  • IP67 ingress protection, physical on/off switch, UN38.3 and CE compliance
