Another comprehensive test and review. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for all of these informative and detailed videos. I'm new to batteries (been using a small Bluetti power station for a few years but it's time to move up :) and all of your info has been super valuable in trying to get up to speed! We've settled on the regular LiTime 100ah based on your great vids. But the charger: i know (from your vids and your website) that it needs to be a LiFePO4 specific charger, but should I be using a 10amp or 20amp charger to charge these with? Does it matter how fast I charge it?

[@DCGUY]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. When it comes to charging, its really down to how long you wait. At 10 amps, it will take approx 10 hours to replenish a fully discharged battery at 20 amp that drops to 5 hours and so on as charge amps increase.

[@kellyboadway6073]

Thanks for this! I was concerned that faster charging might be detrimental to the battery or something along those lines, so this is great info! Thanks again!

The older 100Ah batterys were mostly air inside because they used the cheapest LA battery cases available, now they are using more appropriate sized cases there's less air and more cell inside 👍
At least there is less stinky foam in there nowdays 😂

[@DCGUY]

I don't miss the stinky foam, that's for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It is always appreciated

[@antonwearsakilt5209]

Commenting to cuck the algorithm.
Good review.
It's nice it's not Bluetooth, it makes the battery less likely to be hacked into.
Most Bluetooth type of batteries will connect to any available device, and if the device that is normally used is not available, it'll connect to another. Meaning if someone wanted to do something nefarious to one's system they could.
Additionally low temp built heater pads seem like a waste, as if it fails, it's almost impossible to replace, a outside heater pad can placed underneath and easily replaced if the need arises.

[@DCGUY]

Great points. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 😊

Mini is a bit miss leading. It's not a lot smaller than the other 100ah batteries

[@sevnpicoferro5352]

That's wrong. I have the mini and bought the normal now. I am shocked how much bigger it is.
