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
Great service, quick delivery. Working great.
From Mn I sent some questions to support late last night regarding changing profiles. Woke this am and saw that Patty had answered my questions at 4am. This is absolutely exceptional and main reason I purchased 2 TM batteries. Again, exceptional!!!
We bought this battery to replace our camper's aging lead-acid batteries. So far it is doing great and powers the jacks and slide out just fine. We did have to reconfigure the battery compartment and get an upgraded charger. We haven't used it yet boondocking, but in testing it ran the refrigerator for a day and still had a charge. The benefits of lithium over lead-acid will become more apparent during our trip to Alaska where we may do many boondocking stops.
Had 4ea. 200AH deep cycle marine house batteries and replaced them with 2ea. 230AH lithium, considerable weight difference and 2 less really nice, also no maintenance, haven’t gone on trip yet to see how well they hold up but since I am an electrician I anticipate them to last longer than old ones and don’t have to worry about low voltage as they will cut off when they drop below 11 volts.
Purchased 3000 watt inverter/ charger, 2ea. 12V 230AH lithium batteries and 40A DC/DC charger for motorhome, thought I had a bad inverter because it wouldn’t come on or recognize grid power, started my generator and it came on and charged as expected, when turned off generator it stayed on a few minutes and same problem, I am an electrician so after checking all my hook up and etc. found all correct so then I read the book and input voltage is 110 +/- 10% which is only 121 volts on high side, my incoming voltage is 126.5 so that is reason it doesn’t stay on. Could have ordered a lithium charger and used it when connected to grid at home but I opted to install an isolation transformer, and a 3 kw cost as much as the inverter but it should protect the inverter and no having to switch plugs and etc. from one charger to the other. Haven’t really tested the batteries yet but will be going on vacation soon but I am happy with so far except for mounting a 55lb transformer under my MH was not fun!
So far it seems to be a good battery. Would have liked a better description of the Bluetooth settings. The physical setup was very straightforward and easy. Still working on knowing if it is fully charged with a smart shunt.
Looks like a great battery when the weather permits I’ll see if it’s up to its task it’s made gor
Received my battery and went to hook up the Bluetooth to my phone and it would not connect went to charge it and it would not charge. Check the battery voltage with a meter and it was .95 volts. Email LiTime have not heard anything back from email sent a message with not much help just told me to charge battery. Wish there was a phone number to call!
