LiTime Community Initiatives in 2026
August 2026: Supporting Grace on the Water
Grace on the Water creates opportunities for families experiencing significant challenges to spend restorative time together on the water. The initiative particularly supports families affected by divorce, foster-care involvement, or other difficult circumstances, with participants also referred by community partners.
LiTime contributed two 12V 100Ah Group 24 dual-purpose marine batteries for the activities held from August 17 to 21, 2026. Designed to support both marine starting and onboard electrical loads, the batteries were provided as part of the equipment used for the program’s time on the water.
The contribution supported an environment where families could step away from daily pressures and share a day centered on recreation, rest, and connection. Rather than measuring the project only through technical output, its value lies in helping community partners create a positive experience for families during difficult periods.
The supported battery model is part of LiTime’s range of dual-purpose marine batteries, designed for marine starting and deep-cycle power requirements.
May 2026: Supporting Race to Grace and Teen Challenge
Race to Grace conducts community outreach across Southern California through programs such as Ice Cream & Prayer. Its May 17, 2026 initiative at the Benedict Castle Car Show supported fundraising for Teen Challenge rehabilitation programs.
LiTime also helped power the organization’s Wilderness Wagon, a mobile outreach vehicle, with:
- Two 12V 320Ah Mini Bluetooth batteries connected in series to create a 24V system
- A 24V 20A AC-to-DC lithium battery charger
- Two 12V 165Ah dual-purpose marine batteries connected in parallel
The system powers the vehicle’s air conditioner, freezer, inverter, printer, lighting, audio equipment, and other outreach accessories. Race to Grace reports that the 24V battery bank can operate for approximately 7–10 days without recharging when the air conditioner is not in use, or power the air conditioner for around 7 hours at its coldest setting and 13 hours in ECO mode.
By supporting both the fundraising event and the Wilderness Wagon, LiTime helped Race to Grace carry its programs into more local communities with reliable mobile power.
March 2026: Supporting Take a Warrior Fishing
Take a Warrior Fishing uses fishing and outdoor experiences to support military veterans. Its programs are designed to encourage connection, provide time away from daily pressures, and contribute to participants’ physical and emotional well-being.
For the March 28, 2026 activity, LiTime provided a 12V 100Ah TM Plus Smart lithium battery. The battery supported the marine power requirements associated with the fishing program, helping participants spend time on the water with dependable energy available.
This initiative connects clean-energy equipment with a human need that is not always visible: the need for belonging, shared experience, and continued community support after military service. LiTime’s role was to power the activity while Take a Warrior Fishing focused on the veterans taking part.
LiTime Community Initiatives in 2025
October 2025: Supporting the Japanese Red Cross Society
Extreme summer weather and heavy rainfall can leave communities facing urgent relief and recovery needs. In October 2025, LiTime contributed to the work of the Japanese Red Cross Society through its Saitama branch. LiTime donated JPY 200,000 to support disaster relief and local recovery activities.
Representatives later met with Japanese Red Cross staff to discuss their respective activities, and LiTime received formal recognition for its contribution. The donation illustrates another dimension of LiTime’s community support: providing direct financial assistance when specialist humanitarian organizations are best placed to respond.
This initiative was not a product promotion. It was a contribution to an established relief network with the experience and local reach required to direct resources toward affected communities.
January 2025: Advancing the AutoCart Rover X2 Project
AutoCart Rover X2 was developed through the Mechatronics and Automation program at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences in Germany. Four seventh-semester students worked on improving an autonomous vehicle designed to transport food and beverages.
The vehicle was developed to operate in automatic and manual modes. It used cameras, ArUco markers, and sensors to follow a target, navigate its surroundings, and avoid obstacles.
LiTime supported the project with a 48V 100Ah lithium battery and a compatible charger. According to the published project information, the new battery configuration helped reduce the vehicle’s weight by approximately 80 kilograms and supported a maximum travel range of about 20 kilometers.
Those measurable improvements gave the students a more practical platform for testing autonomous navigation and transport functions. The collaboration also allowed students to apply classroom knowledge to a working engineering system, where power capacity, weight, safety, and control all influence performance.
