Battle Born Batteries Complete Spec Sheet (100Ah, 270Ah, GC3)
Battle Born builds its deep-cycle LiFePO4 lineup around two capacities RV owners compare most: the 100Ah 12V (BB10012) and the 270Ah 12V GC3 (BBGC3). Battle Born also sells a 100Ah 12V GC2 model in a golf-cart (6V-style) case. This page is a single reference for every spec dimension that matters when you're sizing a bank, sourced directly from battlebornbatteries.com. Heated and Smart variants exist for both capacities. They're noted where they differ.

"GC2" and "GC3" are Battle Born case formats. The GC2 is a separate 100Ah 12V battery built in a golf-cart-style footprint. The GC3 is the 270Ah battery. Heated variants (BB10012H, BBGC3H) add internal heating for sub-freezing charging. Smart variants add Bluetooth monitoring through Battle Born's Dragonfly IntelLigence system.

Notes on the Numbers
Cost per cycle is linear across capacities. The GC3's ~$0.57 per cycle looks higher than the 100Ah's ~$0.20. But the GC3 holds 2.7 times the energy. Per 100Ah of capacity, the GC3 works out to about $0.21 per cycle. Battle Born prices close to linearly per amp-hour. The GC3 buys capacity density, not a per-cycle discount.
Cycle life vs. depth of discharge. Battle Born rates both lines at 3,000 to 5,000 cycles and lists 100% usable depth of discharge. Its product pages do not state the DoD basis of the cycle rating. Like all LiFePO4, shallower cycling extends service life. Cost-per-cycle figures on this page use the 4,000-cycle midpoint.
Warranty. Battle Born lists a 10-year limited warranty on both lines. That is longer than the 5-year and 7-year terms common on competing brands. Confirm claim requirements on battlebornbatteries.com before purchase.
Cold weather. Both batteries discharge down to -4°F. Neither the standard 100Ah nor the standard GC3 accepts charge when the cells drop below 25°F. The BMS pauses charging and resumes once the battery warms. For cold-bay charging, buy the Heated variant (BB10012H or BBGC3H), which warms the cells before accepting charge.
Certifications. Battle Born states its batteries carry listings from Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories to UL 2054 and UL/CSA 62133-2, plus UL 1642 cell certification. Earlier versions of this page listed UL 1973 for the 100Ah. Battle Born's current safety materials name UL 2054 and 62133-2 instead, so we updated the tables to match.
