Features

  • Lithium Iron Battery: The lifespan of LiFePO4 (lithium) batteries is 8 to 10 times longer than that of regular lead-acid batteries (6000~9000 cycles vs 300-500 cycles). The usable capacity also doubles compared to that of a lead-acid battery while the weight is 30% less thanks to its significantly higher energy density.Without any memory effect, the lithium battery can hold a charge better while not in use and will not lose capacity due to the previous discharge state.
  • Built-In BMS & Convenience & Maintenance Free: The built-in BMS (Battery Management System) protects the battery from overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and short circuits with excellent self-discharge rate. Built-in high temp cut-off prevents charging over 122 F (50 C). Plus, Li-Ion batteries can be safer than lead Acid batteries, which have no protection against ground faults. This product is your ideal choice for both outdoor and indoor applications.
  • Capacity Expansion: Our lithium batteries can be connected in parallel and in series for larger capacity and voltage. Max connection in series: Up to four identical batteries for up to 48V.Max connection in parallel: Up to four identical batteries up to 1200AH.Batteries can also be connected in parallel and series at the same time for up to 48V 1200AH. Only batteries with the exact same voltage and capacity purchased within a six-month window can be used in parallel or series.
  • Wide Application: Our lithium batteries can be used in the following areas: Home energy storage systems, UPS backup, lighting, digital/CCTV cameras, portable TV, e-Robot, electric vehicles, DIY speakers, 12V routers, air pumps, fish finder, golf cart, trolling motor, motorhome/RV & camper, Houseboat, Travel Trailer, Dump Trailer and more.

  • Excellent build quality!

I have now purchased this battery five times I am so happy with its performance and it's value!

  • Works in 36v golf cart!!
Style: 12V 100AH
I was VERY hesitant to gamble the money (still expensive compared to LA batteries) to "try" these in my bone stock 2005 36 volt EZ-Go TXT PDS golf cart as replacements to the old Lead Acid batteries. I couldn't find any applicable reviews, videos, or install pics online or on Amazon showing them being used in a golf cart. I didn't really want to be the test-monkey for these in a golf cart. There were a couple of solar guys using them, some reviews for solar systems, and even one YouTube reviewer who tore them apart and was impressed by the build quality; but NO golf cart specific examples that I could find. I long debated the cost to "potential" benefit ratios, the golf-cart-proven (but significantly more expensive) alternatives that were out there, and the total amp hour ratings, peak discharge current ratings, and the potential for difficult returns if necessary. BOY AM I GLAD I BOUGHT THEM!! Huge difference in golf cart performance! Super light compared to the old LA (3 light weight batteries vs. 6 super heavy anchors). Runs MUCH longer and more consistently between charges. I've run it around and around my neighborhood up to 10 miles before I got bored and cold and still had tons of power to spare. Ran it for 4 days on the ranch while hunting and doing small maintenance tasks; NEVER lost power and performance and NEVER had to recharge the pack all weekend. Charges faster when needed. Way less mess than the old LA Batts. Cart runs a little faster (consistently up to governed speed regardless of terrain), accelerates faster, has more torque, pulls hills better, runs seemingly forever, powers lights, powers accessories, powers the cart w/me the wife and 3 kids (2 full grown)...the list goes on and on. I also installed a Renogy battery meter that measures draw and I never come close to exceeding the 200 amp 5 second peak draw my batteries are rated for (I think they just released a new version with 300amp peak for 5 seconds). Bottom line, if you are looking for a less expensive alternative LiPo battery set for your 36-48 volt golf cart, these will work, and work VERY well. No more pushing the cart up the last little hill to get home. And they actually shipped relatively fast from China to TX in very sturdy and well packed boxes with plenty of shock resistant foam surrounding the battery pack. Saved several hundred dollars over "cart specific" marketed LiPo battery kits and these simply work wonders in my cart. My only complaint is that I had to go to another more expensive (but reputable) manufacturer of golf cart battery pack kits to pick up a 36 volt specific LiPo charger for the batteries wired in series. Simply couldn't find an applicable 36 volt LiPo golf cart charger on Amazon to match my specific application. But the DL 36 volt LiPo charger tied to these 3 batteries in series has made my golf cart a whole new and more enjoyable experience. ... show more

  • Two of these wired in Serial work great to power Minn Kota Ulterra 24v 80lb thrust troller motor
Style: 12V 100AH
These are great. I replaced two Interstate lead-acid deep cycle batteries (SRM-27's), and can't believe how much better (and longer) the Minnkota Ulterra functions with these LifePO4 batteries! First, as mentioned I use two of these 12v batteries wired in series to power the 24v Ulterra trolling motor that is mounted on a Carolina Skiff 23UE's bow. The batteries are charged with a Noco GENPRO10X4 12V 4-Bank, 40-Amp On-Board Battery Charger, which allows me to individually select the type of battery for each of the four batteries on the boat to Lead/Acid, Gel, AGM, or Lithium. Obviously, the two CHINS 100AH LifePo4's are set to "Lithium." They needed to be charged upon receipt of the batteries, and I let them charger overnight. No problem. The Ulterra is very sensitive to voltage. Regular Lead and sealed (agm) batteries drop voltage as you use them, causing problems where the Ulterra stops functioning, except at very low speeds. After experiencing many error codes on the Ulterra after an hour or less of use ( if running more than speed 5 (of 10)), I called Minnkota who said, "the Ulterra needs the batteries to have voltage of 12.6v per battery under a load for a combined reading 25.2v total," or it will turn off, as I was experiencing. My multimeter showed that the voltage of the two Interstates (only about 3 months old) was dropping well beneath the 25.2 threshold almost all the time at load -- dropping beneath the 25.2 that Minn Kota wants to 24.6v at speed 5 of 10. To better check and understand and track, I installed a Victron BMV-712 ( https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Energy-MONITOR-VTBMV-S-BMV-712-Battery/dp/B075RTSTKS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2LK4SOA30P2XT&keywords=Victron%2B712&qid=1650131508&sprefix=victron%2B712%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-5&th=1 ). It confirmed my multimeter readings but allowed more much more detailed tracking. The lead batteries were not maintaining sufficient voltage output. When brand new, they worked better. Likely, I ran them below the 50% charge level a few times without knowing it, and might have damaged them. That's another benefit you'll read about LifePO4's over traditional deep cycle batteries. The lead flavors are not supposed to be run beyond 50% of their rated capacity, so you should only use 44AH of an 88AH battery, or it can be damaged. The LifePO4's can go low. I've taken these to 20% without any problems, and have heard of others going to 10%. Getting them to 20% was a long day of running the trolling motor. The voltage on the two LiFePO4's (in Series) stays in the range of 26.9 to 26.0v under load when operating between Ulterra speeds 1 to 7.5 of 10. It drops into the 25's at speed 8 to 10, but never drops below 25.4, which was at speed 10 with about 50% of the AH's consumed already. Excellent!! These batteries are great!! Strongly recommend for the Ulterra 24V and imagine they would also be great for the 36V Ulterra if you buy three of them. Remember to buy, have, or install a proper lithium battery charger for these, too. One word of caution, I try to avoid running the Ulterra at the high speeds 7.5 or higher for long periods of time (30 minutes) with the LiFePO4's because Minn Kota's website mentioned that the motors were designed with Lead Acid durations in mind, not the much longer durations without voltage drops that we can get from the lithium batteries. Also, the Victron has an alarm that notifies me when the only 15% of the battery capacity remains. Lithium batteries hold their voltage very well until the end, then really, really drop. I'm concerned there would not be sufficient voltage to Stow the Ulterra if I ran it to the end of capacity. ... show more

I like that I was able to get it out of the rain before it got too wet. I won't know more until I open the box; meanwhile three stars will do. More later. Out of the box, it measured 13.16vdc on my Fluke. That is a good sign that there is no internal problems. More later.
