Fogstar batteries
Why Fogstar batteries?
Fogstar are the UK’s leading lithium battery retailer. We believe they offer the best balance of performance and affordability. So, that’s why we include Fogstar lithium batteries in all of our Nohma electrical systems.
Bluetooth Drift app
Both the Drift and Drift PRO leisure batteries have Bluetooth by standard. So, you can connect to your battery via your smartphone. Then, simply monitor your battery’s performance and state of charge via the Drift app. This means you don’t need to include an additional battery monitor in your system. In comparison, the ECO range doesn’t have Bluetooth. So, you’ll need to purchase an external battery monitor for the ECO batteries.
Plug and play Victron integration
The Drift PRO batteries feature a plug and play integration with Victron products. So, if you have a Cerbo GX in your system, simply connect it to your battery’s CAN comms port using an RJ45 cable.

Fogstar Drift PRO
The Drift PRO are the next level in LiFePO4 battery technology. On top of all of the features of the Drift, they also boast:
- 300A max discharge current
- ‘Plug and play’ integration with Victron products (via a CAN port)
- Serviceable metal case
- 2A Active Balancer (increases lifespan & usable capacity)
Recommended for: High power electrical systems that require a high max discharge current. Also, systems including a Victron full system monitor, such as a Cerbo GX.
Shop Fogstar Drift PROWe recommend the Drift PRO, due to its increased lifespan and usable capacity. Additionally, for anyone with a total power draw over 200A, the Drift PRO is the logical choice. It is possible to connect two Drift’s in parallel to double the max discharge current. However, with the Drift PRO, you’ll be able to save vital space with a single battery capable of delivering a higher discharge current.
