No comment on batteries. Still awaiting arrival.
The LiTimes batteries were a replacement for lead acid batteries. First off, the technical support from LiTimes was excellent to ensure the batteries could be used. Second, the order was placed smoothly and the batteries arrived within 3 days from date of order. The replacement was straight forward - the new LiTimes batteries are nearly 50% lighter than the lead acid batteries. Charged up the batteries for 24 hours and took the lawnmower for its first test spin. Quite honestly, it felt like the performance was better than when the lawnmower first came with lead acid batteries. As with the lead acid batteries I proceeded to charge the batteries after mowing the lawn and I was surprised by how quickly it charged. Mowing nearly 1/2 acre in about 25 minutes, it seemed like it only used about 20 - 30% of the 100Amp, and it took a little less than 3 hours to be fully charged. Can't wait for my second test run, and then skipping the immediate charging thereafter. So far - very, very impressed.
Just installed the battery on our travel trailer. Will be giving the once over. So far so good. just had to select the Lithium battery on my solar charge controller. it was charged up by a combination of the solar, and power converter to full.
Shipping and point of sale were very easy with delivery as promised. Product seems to as advertised, time will tell on longevity of use but all I’ve read seems to indicate this is the future of batteries!
The battery was packaged very well, and easy to install and setup. It performed flawlessly during my first outing of 2024. I've paired the 36v 55ah battery to a 84" Rhodan trolling and an Abyss DC to DC charger. the entire setup works very well. Ran the setup for 5 hours straight in 2 to 3 ft seas with a heavy chop with no issues. I would recommend this battery and purchase again.
First charger arrived damaged from shipping. Contacted customer service via email and received a response within 24 hours. Kandy was the my assigned representative that I worked with through the return/replacement process. Kandy was super responsive and supportive. The replaced charger arrived in perfect condition and works great.
It is very well made 60A MPPT.
It has a large heatsink to dissipate the heat without the need of the noisy fan.
It is very easy to set up using the front panel buttons or using Bluetooth.
I like that I can go into user mode so I can set the parameters to match my LiFePO4 batteries.
it is very efficient in converting Solar power input to battery charging power, I get about 97%.
I now have two of them and I'm very happy with them so far.
I do hope that they will release the new version that will allow you to set the charging current as needed.
Exactly what I expected at a fraction of the cost.
This battery is a beast! I got it for the
Trolling motor I use in my canoe and it goes for days!
This battery was shipped for corroded 8 mm bolts that stunk like battery acid the manuals had all kind of phone numbers and writing on them from the previous owner fortunately the battery seems to work OK but this thing look like a used piece of crap when I got it I would not buy one again
Arrived within a week. Excellent batteries for the price. I'm a happy camper!
Right off the bat, I gotta say - I love their batteries. A lot of their stuff has rubbed me the wrong way with failures (60amp charge controller) and design flaws (500amp battery monitor), but this is a great product.
You may get some weird voltage readings after charging. For example it may settle at like 12.9v after being fully charged. This confused me, but if you connect a load to it for a few seconds, the voltage will stabilize / normalize. This took me a little bit of research to figure out.
Doing a full discharge, I have gotten at least 230ah from every 230ah battery I've purchased.
If the customer service issue for my charge controller is fixed, I am another battery customer. If my charge controller issue is ignored, I will be buying elsewhere.
but this is my honest review. I left reviews for those items, too.
I received this 60amp bluetooth Charge Controller, installed it and it worked perfectly... for a few hours. Then, the bluetooth shut off. That was about 10 days ago. I did everything I can think of to try to reset the device, and bluetooth just no longer works. I've even upgraded my phone since then and tried on 4 other devices, it's the charge controller.
The manual has absolutely nothing about the bluetooth. The manual for bluetooth section: "QR code to download the app" [done]
I reached out to customer service and waited almost a week. No response. I sent a follow-up email and a few days later they told me that if I send the charge controller back to them, once the receive it, they'll send me a replacement item.
I'm in the middle of nowhere, off grid. It takes 7 days, minimum to ship them my item. Then it is week to get a new item.
That's 2 weeks without any power.
This company has no customer service, and given that I've sunk a few *thousand* dollars into their equipment, it is very disappointing to be brushed off after having their equipment fail on me.
Very disappointed.
Do not bother buying this piece of equipment.
Will update if they reach out and send me a replacement without making me go without power for 2 weeks.
It does exactly what they're advertising, so for that I give it 5 stars, however I must deduct 2 stars because of a few reasons: the main thing that bothers me is all of their products come with M8 bolts. Their Batteries, their Charger, etc. Yet this is a M10 bolt. To my surprise, after ordering all the aforementioned items, I needed to get an adapter to connect my LiTime battery charger to the LiTime shunt (M8 to M10).
When you live an hour from town and a week for any amazon delivery, that's super annoying.
I am also noticing that it will skip AH reading when you get close to full or empty.
For example on charge you'll see 220....221.....222.....223......224.....225............230. And vise versa on discharge. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 0.
Another negative: If you preset it for whatever AH capacity your battery is supposed to have, and your battery happens to take more, it will not show you more. It will stop counting up at whatever you preset your capacity at. That seems super silly.
For example, it's well known most batteries give more advertised capacity, by a few %. You should be able to fully discharge the battery, and let the device set the AH capacity by how much charge it takes. Otherwise, you have to throw in extra capacity up front on the configuration menu, then fully discharge it and see how much remains so you can do the math to realize you got an extra 3AH.
Took me 3 discharge cycles to figure out exactly how much AH my battery took because who would have guessed it'd stop counting.
That's just silly.
Probably would *not purchase again, but I am overall satisfied with the monitor...
Great battery that runs my graphs all day in my boat
So far so good. Packing is good and a nice pack of information about the battery comes with it. Two fishing trips running two graphs and barely used any power from the battery. I was using a 30 amp hour different brand and running it down before the day was done. I would say a good purchase. Plan to try the trolling motor batteries next.
As usually with anything from Li Time, they deliver great products at a fantastic price.
Had 2 12v interstate SRM 27 that were less than a year old powering my 80lbs thrust ultrex. After 4 hrs or so of fishing there was a very noticeable loss of power and depending on conditions they would be dead. Replaced with 2 Li Time 12.8v 100ah trolling motor batteries. Long story short I’m more than pleased with there performance. Went to the river today and fished for 8 hrs. Strong current and windy conditions. Used spot lock a lot and fished about a 2 mile section of the river. Even after all that I noticed no difference from the time I started fishing until I was done. No loss of power at all. Absolute game changer and worth the money. Great product. Very well made. Fast shipping. So far so good!
Batteries are performing well with not issues.
So far, these LiTime batteries are a great value, they now have Bluetooth capabilities that come with an app so you can monitor them and no longer need a smart shunt. Looking forward to many years of battery power for my RV.
I wrote the be wary of incoming voltage review. I would like correct what I said. Ends up the reason the charger/bypass wasn't coming on was that I some how bumped all the dipswitch to be set to 0 vice 1. Set them back and is working fine down with my line 123v. It is weird though that when set to inverter preference that it sends some weird feedback that trips a GFI outlet.
Saw another review similar to mine where the person had 126.7v. Maybe pick the 90-135v dipswitch and see if that works. I would have given a 5 star review except no has from support has gotten back to me yet. I just happen to see the dip switches were wrong which was hard because usually 0 is on the left and 1 on the right but it just the opposite so I had to get up close to see they were wrong.
Easy install yesterday. Took about 3 hours to remove the 4 lead acid batteries and install the LiTime one. Fits nicely. Used 2 original bolt retainer stops at the base plus a lashing strap across the center. Start up current of the mower at high speed is no problem. Haven’t mowed my whole lawn yet, but it will very likely easily do an acre or more.
First off I have the 100Ah trolling and it's awesome got it in three days.in saying that I ordered the mini 100Ah battery and it never came now customer service was nice but it got lost or something or never shipped to me I missed my tournament so the first experience was great this time a little disappointed but I still love the batteries so far just need a second battery
