LiTime 12V 460Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery, 250A BMS, 5888Wh Energy

No. LiTime LiFePO4 lithium batteries are not intended to be used as starting batteries but energy storage, please do not use them to start any devices. Can read on the differences between starting and deep cycle batteries to learn more.

Yes. LiFePO4 is an inherently safe chemistry and the most stable lithium-type battery on the market. LiTime lithium cells are UL certified for the highest safety and sustainability standards. All LiTime LiFePO4 batteries come with an internal Battery Management System which protects against under-voltage during discharge, over-voltage during charge, over-current during discharge, over-temperature during charge and discharge, and short-circuit protection – protects battery cells from damage. Additionally, LiTime LiFePO4 Lithium batteries have been tested to be free from the risk of fire, and electric shock in harsh environments.

LiTime 12V 460Ah Plus LiFePO4 batteries can safely charge between 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C). Please note that the 12V 460Ah Plus version does not include low-temperature charging protection function.

It is recommended to store LiTime LiFePO4 batteries at 50% state of charge (SOC). If the batteries are stored for long periods, cycle the batteries at least every 6 months. Recommended storage environment: 10℃～35℃ (50℉～95℉），45%RH～75％RH

1. Use 14.6V LiFePO4 battery chargers to maximize the capacity
   ☆Recommend charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V.
   ☆Recommend charging Current:
  ① 92A (0.2C): The battery will be fully charged in around 5hrs to 100% capacity.
  ② 230A (0.5C): The battery will be fully charged in around 2hrs to around 97% capacity.

2. Use an alternator/ gernerator
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 refer to the recommendations in "Battery Charger" above to add a suitable battery charger between the battery and the gernerator.
 ☆Recommend charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V.
 ☆Recommend charging Current:  
  ① 92A (0.2C): The battery will be fully charged in around 5hrs to 100% capacity.
  ② 230A (0.5C): The battery will be fully charged in around 2hrs to around 97% capacity.

3. Solar Panel
 ☆Recommend Power: ≥1850W
  ○The battery can be fully charged 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 ≥1850W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.
