LiTime 12V LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries

Yes. LiFePO4 is an inherently safe chemistry and the most stable lithium-type battery on the market. LiTime lithium cells are certificated by UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, and UN38.3 to ensure their quality and safety.

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.

Yes, LiTime LiFePO4 batteries can be charged to 100%. LiFePO4 batteries are designed to handle full charges without significant risk of damage. However, for optimal longevity, it’s often recommended to keep the battery's SOC  between 20% and 80% for regular use.

It is not recommended to fully discharge LiFePO4 batteries. Although these batteries can handle deep discharges better than lead-acid batteries, frequently discharging them to 0% can reduce their lifespan and performance. It's best to recharge the battery before it drops below a very low level, ideally at 20% or higher.

Although it is generally safe to leave a LiFePO4 battery on the charger, as both the charger and the battery itself have a BMS to prevent overcharging, it’s still best to monitor the charging process.

Once the battery is fully charged, disconnecting it promptly is recommended to avoid unnecessary damage.

For convenience, LiTime offers chargers with Anderson connectors, allowing you to stop charging simply by unplugging the Anderson connector without needing to separate the battery terminals from the screws after charging.

However, for optimal safety, it’s advised to first unplug the AC plug before disconnecting the Anderson connector.

Yes. Visit  this article or refer to the specific size on the product manual for the solar panel size. When using solar panels, always connect a  solar charge controller to ensure safe charging.

In addition to the solar panels, LiTime lithium batteries can also be charged by

AC-DC Lithium Battery Charger: Select a charger with the appropriate voltage to safely charge the battery.

Alternator/Generator:

• DC Output: If your alternator or generator provides DC output, you will need a DC-to-DC charger to connect the battery.
• AC Output: If it provides AC output, use a compatible battery charger as specified in the product manual to safely connect the battery and generator.
