There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These are setup in series now to form a 24V 100ah battery pack. I opted to pay more by having two batteries rather than one 24V battery for a few reasons. As stated above, I was concerned with the quality and wanted to test one battery before doubling down for twice the expense. Second, these batteries have a battery management system which is internal to the battery. If it goes bad, chances are the battery will be useless. Having two go bad is unlikely. So I can always reconfigure my system to run from the good 12V battery. Finally, I have a lot of 12V stuff and having a pair of very good 12V batteries gives me more options.
These batteries are well built, case seems generic but sturdy. Especially happy with the Terminals, they seem very firmly mounted to the case and hold connections tight.
I've run several capacity checks on this, but the only full capacity test I made would be characterized as a .1C test. That is a constant discharge of 100watts, but in my case it was a refrigerator with defrost so when it did run it was about 110watts and about 330watts during the defrost cycle.
I was expecting it to run about 39hours but it only made 32 hours. However, then I worked in the inverter efficiency (90%) and the vampire power used by the inverter even when it is not generating wattage. I did several different discharge tests and always got above 95% of the rated watt/hours. That is excellent considering the price point on these batteries in comparison to other similar batteries.
I DO NOT recommend any PWM charger with these. I tried charging the battery with a Renogy Voyager and the pulses exceeded the max voltage causing the Battery's Management System to disconnect. Even though this Renogy charger has a LifePO4 setting. I contacted Renogy they were no help, I also contacted AmperTime and the good news is they actually responded. But I knew what the problem was and it simply was not a battery or Battery Management System issue. Needless to say I bought an MPPT charger, EPEVER Triron and it works great. But that is for another review.
Couple more notes. I am shocked at how lightweight this battery is, they weigh about a third of what a typical flooded battery would. Every time I pick them up I am surprised by their lightweight. I am sure RV people will appreciate this.
The max voltage I got on these batteries is 13.5V after it settles, I was expecting 14.4V. Without making this longer, don't worry about it. It is a weird charge curve and 13.5V is basically 99% charge. My discharge test confirm these batteries will perform to there approximate 100ah rating.
In Summary, very happy, highly recommended and I did buy two, perhaps get more in the future.
Be aware these are designed for solar solutions and nothing more. There are not many standalone chargers that will operate at 54.75 volts and this has a cut off at 56 volts. I'm using this as an extended battery for a Eaton UPS and I did get it to work, but I have to have a secondary battery in the system as the Eaton will sent current to 57-58 volts.
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024
The inverter (which had been running perfectly for 2 years straight) blew up. Sounded like bacon cooking and filled the entire room with smoke before it went dark and I could trip the inline fuse.
This is unacceptable. I verified a couple times with a meter that it was outputting the full 39v voltage while set to 12v. That is an epic failure and could have started a fire if I wasnt home.
And, while these two LiTime batteries were disconnected, they initially read 13.8v and then down to ~9.xv after some overnight drain with a new inverter. Yet they tell me the batteries are probably ok.
The company only responds during the early morning hours and ignores most of what you say only to ask you for info you already provided. Over and over. 24 hour wait each time.
Once I tell them I want the clearly defective controller, and most likely damaged batteries, replaced, they went dark on me (no reply for 3 days) and are apparently not replacing anything. So, their claims are a lie and their warranty is a lie.
Started out so good but ended up being so much worse than all the stuff I used before. I hooked up the Ampinvt controller (that the LiTime controller replaced) and its working perfectly - with a new inverter.
Top reviews from other countries
During off-grid use way up north in Canada for months at a time, we had to use the generator in the middle of the day to recharge the 600 Wh power station, but now, this will easily go an entire day hooked up to 2 laptops, starlink, phones, etc...
I bought the warranty for an extra $15, because I don't want to be dealing with a lemon situation just in case.
I recommend this product, but I also recommend waiting for lithium battery prices to come down if you can. Either way, this is a great product, great support, and it seems like this will last for a long time as long as its not misused.
Great value depending on your price paid.
Der Akku kam dann als normales Paket mit dem Paketversand. Die Verpackung war unversehrt und der Inhalt auch. In der Verpackung war eine gut verständliche Anleitung mit allen notwendigen Parametern um die optimale Einstellung für meinen Victron Charger/Inverter vorzunehmen. Es ist zwar laut Anleitung auch eine Ladung mit normaler Blei/Gel-Kennlinie möglich, jedoch habe ich mich für die optimierte Lithium-Kennlinie entschieden und das Ladegerät entsprechend umgestellt.
Die M8-Anschlüsse sind sauber und stabil vergossen. Für ein einzelnes Ringterminal (am 70mm² Kabel) ist die mitgelieferte Schraube lang genug. Für ein zweites Kabel müsste man eine längere Schraube verwenden. Da LiFePo4-Batterien nur direkt mit einer Sicherung verbunden werden dürfen ist ein zweites Kabel normal nicht notwendig und zulässig (außer ggf. bei Parallelschaltung mit sehr kurzen Kabeln).
Ich habe das Ladegerät wie empfohlen auf einen maximalen Ladestrom von 60A begrenzt. Die Batterie war bei Lieferung mit 13,2 V wohl ungefähr zu 70% geladen. Der Ladevorgang verläuft für LiFePo4 typisch. Es wurde für ca. 1,5 Stunden mit einem konstanten Ladestrom von 60A geladen. Dabei steigt die Spannung nur leicht auf ca. 13,5V an. In den letzten 3 Minuten steigt die Spannung ziemlich schnell auf die von mir eingestellte Maximalspannung von 14,6V an. Es findet jetzt wahrscheinlich das Balancing statt. Der Strom reduziert sich auf ca. 1A. Nach 10 Minuten ist Schluss und die Batterie macht "dicht", d.h. der Strom sinkt auf 0,0A. Der integrierte Überladeschutz wirkt zuverlässig.
Die Entladung liefert eine ähnliche Kurve, d.h. die Spannung sinkt relativ schnell auf 13,3 V ab und bleibt dann dort trotz immer größerer entnommener Strommengen fast konstant. Nur bei sehr starken Entladeströmen sinkt die Spannung temporär weiter ab. Bei z.B. einer Entladung mit 150A sinkt die Spannung auf 12,3V. Ich gehe davon aus, dass dieses Zellbedingt ist und nicht an einer zu dünnen Verkabelung innerhalb des Akkus liegt. Reduziert man den Entladestrom wieder steigt die Spannung sofort wieder auf 13,2V.
Meine alten Gel-Akkus konnten den Entladestrom nicht liefern und fielen ab 100A auf unter 11V. Auch der Ladestrom ging nicht über 30A bei 14,4V. Jetzt funktioniert endlich das Gesamtsystem.
Die Gewichtsersparnis ist Klasse. 130kg Blei raus und 30kg Lithium rein bei größerer nutzbarer Kapazität.
Wer die Anfangsinvestition nicht scheut, wird sich sicherlich am Ende über die viel größere Zyklenzahl und damit auch Lebensdauer freuen.

Meine alten Gel-Akkus konnten den Entladestrom nicht liefern und fielen ab 100A auf unter 11V. Auch der Ladestrom ging nicht über 30A bei 14,4V. Jetzt funktioniert endlich das Gesamtsystem.
Die Gewichtsersparnis ist Klasse. 130kg Blei raus und 30kg Lithium rein bei größerer nutzbarer Kapazität.
Wer die Anfangsinvestition nicht scheut, wird sich sicherlich am Ende über die viel größere Zyklenzahl und damit auch Lebensdauer freuen.
