Yes, you can charge LiTime LiFePO4 lithium batteries with solar panels. Here are 3 reliable ways to charge
1. Using Solar Panels
The LiTime 12V 460Ah battery can be fully charged by in one day (with effective sunshine 4.5hrs/day) by 1850W solar panels. It may take more than one day to fully charge the battery by ā„1200W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.
2. Generator/Alternator
If the alternator or generator supports DC output, a DC-to-DC charger is needed to connect the battery to the generator; if your alternator or generator supports AC output, please add a suitable battery charger to connect the battery and the generator according to our recommendations.
The Recommended Charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V. The Recommended Charging Current: ā 92A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ā” 230A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.
3. LiFePO4 Smart Chargers
To charge 12V battery, it is recommended to use 14.6V battery charger.
The Recommended Charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V.
The Recommended Charging Current: ā 92A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ā” 230A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.

LiFePO4 batteries are designed to charge safely within a temperature range of 0ā to 50ā (32ā to 122ā). However, the 12V 460Ah LiFePO4 battery lacks low-temperature charging protection, meaning it cannot be charged below freezing (0ā / 32ā).
In contrast, LiTime cold weather batteries feature advanced low-temperature charging-off protection, which automatically halts charging when the battery cell temperature drops below 32ā. This protective feature prevents damage to the battery cells, ensuring safe and reliable operation in cold environments.
It is recommended to store LiFePO4 lithium batteries at 50% state of charge (SOC). If the batteries are stored for long periods, recharge the batteries at least every 3 months. Recommended storage environment: 10āļ½35ā (50āļ½95āļ¼ļ¼45%RHļ½75ļ¼ RH
The LiTime 12V lithium batteries support versatile connections, including series, parallel, and series-parallel connection. You can connect up to 4 batteries in series, 4 in parallel, or 16 in the series-parallel connection.
No. This battery is not compatible with the Bluetooth module. You can use a 500A Battery Monitor With Shunt to keep track of battery status.
