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 ≥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: ① 92A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ② 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: ① 92A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ② 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 0℃ to 50℃ (32℉ to 122℉). However, the 12V 460Ah LiFePO4 battery lacks low-temperature charging protection, meaning it cannot be charged below freezing (0℃ / 32℉).
In contrast, LiTime cold weather batteries feature advanced low-temperature charging-off protection, which automatically halts charging when the battery cell temperature drops below 32℉. 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: 10℃~35℃ (50℉~95℉),45%RH~75%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.
Batteries were not that old but started leaking acid somehow and eating away at the battery tray. Replaced with two of these and a new Lithium BIM and it all works great! Way more capacity and they weight a whole lot less to boot.
Thus far, I love my 460ah battery. I received great customer support from Kandy regarding all the details necessary to program my Victron BMV712 Battery Monitor and to set up my warranty info for this battery. Looking forward to many happy amp hours of electrified good times!
I tested this battery in conjunction with my old Prosine 3 inverter. I first powered a 1400 watt A/C heater which drew 95 amps DC for 20 minutes. Then ran a shop vacuum which drew 120 amp DC for 15 minutes. One of the photos shows the battery voltage under the 95 amp load. I have not yet tested its amp/hr capacity. I am conviced that the BMS is able to handle the loads which I will place on it in the future.
I have been communicating with Elaine in the support group about the proper way to protect my 460s in my RV since I am in a below freezing environment at times while using it and preparing it. I asked about the possibility of using a small electric heater in the battery compartment during the cold temperatures and she was so very helpful. I explained that the heat WOULD NOT be directed to the batteries, instead it would be directed to the wall(s) to have it circulate around them and she said that would be fine as long as the heat was not directed to them like a heating blanket. I did place the heater as planned and it is an amazing 60 F in the compartment and I have it secured so I can drive with it there and it will not fall over (if it did it would shut off anyway) and therefore I can charge while driving in below freezing temperatures with no concern of doing harm to them. By the way my battery compartment has nice ventilation and protection from the weather (rain etc.) ELAINE WAS JUST AMAZING IN HER KNOWLEDGE OF THE BATTERY CARE
A big battery with power to spare for my RV solar system! Very competitive price and highly recommend this LoFePO4 battery!
