Same Footprint, More Capacity: TiStar T200 vs T300: Which Lithium Battery Is Right for You?
TiStar T200 vs T300: Which Lithium Battery
Is Right for You?
When it comes to RVs, caravans, marine applications, off-grid power systems and solar energy storage, battery capacity plays a crucial role in determining how long your equipment can run. However, available installation space is often limited, making it challenging to increase battery capacity without modifying the battery compartment.
That’s where the TiStar T200 and T300 come in. Both batteries feature the exact same external dimensions, allowing users to upgrade their energy storage capacity without changing their installation setup. Built with advanced LiFePO4 technology and a Smart Bluetooth BMS, these batteries deliver reliable performance, long service life and outstanding safety.
Same Footprint, Flexible Capacity Options
One of the biggest advantages of the Tistar T200 and T300 is that they share the same compact dimensions:
Length: 387mm
Width: 206mm
Height: 273mm
Whether installed in an RV, caravan, boat, off-grid cabin or solar storage system, both models fit into the same battery compartment. This means users can easily upgrade from the T200 to the T300 in the future without modifying mounts, wiring layouts or storage space.
More energy storage, with no extra room required.
Over 50% More Capacity in the Same Size Battery
Although the two batteries share the same housing, the energy they store is significantly different.
| Specification | T200 | T300 |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 12.8V | 12.8V |
| Capacity | 206Ah | 314Ah |
| Energy Storage | 2,636.8Wh | 4,019.2Wh |
| Max Output Power | 2,560W | 3,328W |
| Recommended Inverter | Up to 2,000W | Up to 3,000W |
| Weight | 18.3kg | 26kg |
With a massive 314Ah capacity, the T300 delivers approximately 52% more energy storage than the T200 while occupying exactly the same installation space.
For users who spend extended periods off-grid or rely on power-hungry appliances, the additional capacity can significantly extend runtime and reduce charging frequency.
Higher Output for Demanding Applications
The T300 not only offers greater capacity but also delivers stronger charging and discharging performance.
T200 Performance
Continuous Discharge Current: 200A
Peak Discharge Current: 420A (3 seconds)
Maximum Charge Current: 200A
T300 Performance
Continuous Discharge Current: 260A
Peak Discharge Current: 550A (3 seconds)
Maximum Charge Current: 260A
The higher current capability of the T300 makes it ideal for running larger inverters and high-demand appliances such as air conditioners, induction cooktops, coffee machines and other heavy electrical loads commonly found in modern RV and marine setups.
