Nice video. I purchased 2 of these on an early bird special for $279 each which was nice. The app will look at both batteries as a system. Total amp/wattage available etc. There is a setup in the menu. It does this by sampling each battery every few seconds. This enables you to look at the batteries as a system or look at individual performance. I used these batteries on my TT and they fit great in the existing battery boxes.
This battery is rated to 1280w/h... This inverter according to Victron has a Max. efficiency 87% (12v model) .... meaning that at max we should have: 1113,6w/h... your result gave 1033 which is a 80% efficiency..... now the question is...: 7% lost.... where? game of advertisement where the 87% happens only in perfect conditions for only 1 minute? and the rest of the time is around 80% or bellow? Other question: can we trust your meter (accuracy) ? Anyway, I give you a big thumbs up for the shared information with us. It is helping me making some decisions....
I don’t think the inverter was giving 87%. Doing the straight dc discharge test you could see I got over the rated 100ah capacity, so I’m thinking that Victron inverter is not quite as efficient as I thought it was.
You must have a stressful life to spend all of your time obsessing over trivial amounts of difference between stated and measured values, especially considering the shoddy workmanship of most products today. Of course you have a right to obsess over these things, and I would say it isn't the most destructive thing in the world to do , but for your own health, you may want to reevaluate how you view these things.
just ordered one today for rv, I have a lead acid battery right now, by replacing with this one and using lights and water pump and normal use like we always do will this battery last longer than the group 24 lead acid battery i have on now? Thanks they have a great sale right now I got mine for $285 with veterans discount and sale they are having. Love your channels!
Yes, will last much longer. Lead acid you can only use 1/2 of the capacity. With lifepo4 you can use virtually all of the capacity without damaging the cells
Great video. Thank you 🙏 So if you have 2 or 3 of these in parallel (think RV application) and you want to see how much %usage you have left available in your battery bank, will the Bluetooth app show you that, even though it’s only connected to the one battery? In other words the overall %age of useable battery left, is reflected off the one battery but represents the overall capacity because all 3 are in parallel? Is that correct?
I purchased 2 of these. The first one I bought in October for my RV. It worked fine. I ordered a second in November and it only shows 3.2 volts. The charger doesn't recognize it and won't charge. No response from LiTimes support. Any tips? A 50% failure rate is rather high.
What’s the difference in size to power so the for the minis have less power or just smaller battery? How does that work size the power? Thanks for your help Kirk.
Those look like a good battery option, since they include both low-temp charging protection and a bluetooth connection option. I wouldn't buy two of them at that price, unless I was going to use them for distinctly separate roles. They are about $120 more than Li-Time's standard, small form-factor, 100ah, LFP battery, so close to $250 more, for two of them. For that much of a price difference, I would purchase a quality shunt, which is going to give you a more reliable SOC than the BMS and bluetooth connection. When it comes to low-temp charging protection, it is possible to achieve that in other ways, and isn't nearly as big a deal as some make it out to be.
I have a toy hauler with an on board 5500 Yamaha generator. If I ditch the cheap deep cycle LA battery that came on the trailer for two of these hooked up in parallel, will they start my generator?
Can someone please help me with this queation? I want to get two litime batteries, but i wonder if you connect them in series, do both need bluetooth or is one enough? (they react as one batterie, right?? So they should match, right???) THANKS up front
Kinda funny, that in parallel the other battery doesn't show in app. I've got a different brand 24V 50Ah times 2, and when I connect them in parallel they both show up in the app and tell me every parameter I want from a battery under load. They are twice the price though, approximately same watthours, the 24V ones have a bit more than these Li Time ones.
So I live up in Canada and I want a system for my truck that can run and charge during the winter months ... is it safe to say I should stay with a deep cycle amg system and stay away from the lipro4 altogether?
maybe get a lithium battery with heat function. That way when you go to charge and its super cold out in your truck the battery will heat itself above freezing and work like normal.
Good day. After fully charging my battery, the voltage drops to 13V in 2 days, and to 12.90V in 5 days. But when the battery is connected to 200W for 1 minute, the voltage is 13.39V and it stays like that all day? Is this normal or not a battery problem.
Another reviewer will prose also really likes these batteries. I am moving to lithium next year for my my boat trolling motor and I've been giving these a hard look. Here's my concern. Sounds like if you have a warranty claim, you are Sol and the company will do whatever they can to say that you're the one that screwed up and it's not their problem. Essentially, they're customer service sucks. What say you?
I just purchased 2, 12.8v 100ah LiTimes for 165.00 each, free shipping directly from LiTime. Happy Thanksgiving.🦃

👍🏻👍🏻
$279 is a fair price. $379 not so much. I will wait or go with Vatrer that has a Bluetooth.
I just got one for my RV on prime day $185. Right now they are $220

@@Ellifiknow wow, just wow. sigh....
Do you think this Batter would work with replacing the OEM Battery in a Sea Doo Switch Compact Boat?

Do i also need wifi to use bluetooth connection ? I am offgrid no wifi....thx
No, you can use straight Bluetooth connection.
@@GearGadgetReviews Ok thanks again 👍

If you don't plan on using your lithium battery for a few months what percentage of power do you recommend storing it at?
I store mine around 75% and check on them about 3 months
@GearGadgetReviews awesome! That's what I was thinking of doing. You do the same for your battery power stations? Thanks!
@@GearGadgetReviews how does the app work if you were to connect a 2nd battery to the Bluetooth battery?
Can you explain how to jump start this battery after the BMS has shut down due to full discharge.
You can connect it up to any other 12v battery to “wake it up” just like jump starting a car.

Very true👍🏻👍🏻

Do the Li Time have Over Voltsge Protection?
Yes
I want to get one of these batteries but before I do can I download the blue tooth app to my laptop as I don't have cell phone?
Can someone please help me with this queation? I want to get two litime batteries, but i wonder if you connect them in series, do both need bluetooth or is one enough? (they react as one batterie, right?? So they should match, right???) THANKS up front
Yes, they have updated their app now so if you connect 2 batteries you only need one of the Bluetooth
How long did it take to discharge?

Are these any good for car audio high powered systems?

Just picked one of these up on prime days for $253 after discount.
👍🏻👍🏻
I know it's been 3 months but you don't want to look at how much the price has dropped for Black Friday.
Good day.

Nice. Thanks.
You can build 3584WH for a little more than that price. Learn how to build batteries, guys. 12v batteries aren't hard to build yourself.
Ok
Will it talk, Bluetooth natively to Victron? If not, it's very good, but not "perfect"

1033 watt hours is more than "a hair shy" of 1280 watt hours, don't you think??
Not when you account for the inverter efficiency loss
👍🤠
