Keeping the Farm Connected — My Honest Experience with LiTime LiFePO₄ Batteries

I’m Lars Klint, a YouTube content creator based on my family’s farm in rural Australia. Between tending to llamas and wrangling paddock Wi-Fi, I’m constantly relying on batteries to keep my tech projects—network switches, cameras, intercoms—up and running, no matter where I am on the property.

On my channel, Lars Klint - YouTube, I document everything from off-grid tech upgrades to quirky farm life and practical reviews. It’s a mix of rugged Australian country life and a passion for reliable, cutting-edge gear. The channel’s all about sharing lessons learned and empowering others to embrace smart, self-sufficient living.

How I Came Across LiTime

As lithium batteries have gradually become more popular across Australia, I began learning more about their advantages over traditional lead-acid batteries. From longer lifespan and better safety to improved energy efficiency, it was clear lithium was the future. Being a tech enthusiast myself, I naturally became more and more curious about how these batteries could integrate into my setups.

That’s when LiTime popped up on my radar. Their name kept showing up in forums and online discussions, and their product lineup looked both serious and thoughtfully engineered. I had actually been following the brand for a while when I started planning an upgrade to my gate system’s battery bank. I needed more capacity and rock-solid reliability to ensure my network backhaul and security gear never skipped a beat. That’s when LiTime’s high-capacity LiFePO₄ batteries caught my attention in a big way.

Just as I was weighing which model to go with, LiTime reached out and invited me to review their 12 Volt 230Ah LiFePO₄ cells on my channel. Their timing couldn’t have been better—it helped resolve my indecision and allowed me to move forward with the upgrade. After a detailed discussion with the LiTime team, we agreed to collaborate using two 12 Volt 230 Ah batteries for the project. I was keen—but made it clear from day one that my review would be 100% honest, good or bad.


What It’s Like Using the LiTime Batteries

One day, I’m running two of those 12 V 230 Ah LiFePO₄ batteries in series as a 24 V bank. They power a network switch, intercom, two security cameras, LED lights, and the fiber link back to the main house—so uptime really is non-negotiable out here.

What’s impressed me most is the huge capacity (I’m getting days of runtime under continuous load), the straightforward, modular hookup (intuitive terminals made installation a breeze), and the batteries’ excellent discharge curve—voltage stays rock-steady even when the cameras, lights, and network gear all kick in. Plus, the built-in BMS takes care of overcharge, overdischarge, and temperature protection, giving me total peace of mind.

Final Thoughts on the Collaboration

Overall, once I’d climbed the small learning curve around proper charging and discharging, the LiTime batteries have delivered solid, consistent performance. My only winter gripe is that my modest solar array can’t quite refill them on low-sun days—but that’s on me, not on LiTime.

Would I recommend them? Absolutely. I’ve had zero battery issues, and LiTime’s support has been responsive whenever I’ve had questions. If you need dependable, high-capacity LiFePO₄ cells for off-grid or backup applications, these are ones to consider.
