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.
