LITE↯BLOX LB12XX lightweight battery – 7.8 Ah for 2- to 4-cylinder engines
The LITE↯BLOX LB12XX is an exceptionally lightweight starter battery for performance and motorsport vehicles. It is suitable for 2- to 4-cylinder engines with 1,000 to 2,500 cm³ displacement and allows for a weight saving of up to 17 kg compared to a comparable standard starter battery with 15–35 Ah.
The thermally and mechanically decoupled CFRP housing features an integrated mounting plate. Intelligent power electronics protect the battery and enable status diagnostics, shutdown, and anti-theft protection via smartphone app.
Only limited everyday usability. Not suitable for vehicles with intelligent alternator regulation or energy recovery.
Suitable for
2- to 4-cylinder engines with 1,000 to 2,500 cm³ displacement
Weight-optimized performance and motorsport vehicles
Track days, sprint, rally, hill climb, time attack, and slalom
Suitability depends, among other factors, on engine compression, electrical consumers, and vehicle usage. For vehicles with intelligent alternator regulation such as IBS/IAC or energy recovery, the models LB20XX or LB28XX are intended instead.
Product details
Up to 17 kg weight savings compared to comparable series battery
CFRP housing with integrated mounting plate
Smartphone app for status diagnosis and control
Protection against overvoltage and undervoltage, overcurrent, unacceptable temperatures, and short circuit
Maintenance-free due to intelligent power electronics
Low self-discharge
Proven in professional motorsport, DMSB homologated
Developed and handcrafted in Germany
5 years extended material warranty according to manufacturer conditions
Shutdown and theft protection
I.K.O.S. – Intelligent Kill-Operation-Switch
Allows complete disconnection of the battery from the vehicle via app, for example during longer standstill periods. The electronics can also disconnect the battery in case of overload.
A.V.A.T. – Active Vehicle Anti Theft
Continues to supply electrical consumers with energy while stationary. In the event of an unauthorized start attempt, the electronics detect the increased load and interrupt the power supply within milliseconds. The start lock can then only be released by the user via the app.

Important application note
The low capacity requires usage tailored to the vehicle. When the vehicle is connected, standby times of about one to two weeks are planned; the actual period depends on the quiescent current and the connected consumers.
When switched off via I.K.O.S., standby times of about 150 days are possible according to the manufacturer. This information is also dependent on usage.
We also recommend using the LITE↯BLOX 2.0 for the Lotus Elise.
