Litime 12V 200Ah Plus Self-Heating LiFePO4 Battery for RV Solar Marine

Ive always used LiTime batteries as theyre high quality yet at a very affordable price. My old battery bank consisted of 4x 100ah LiTime Mini batteries, making for a total of 400ah. This was a great setup for the past year, but after installing a Rooftop AC unit, I needed a little extra juice to keep up. I went onto the LiTime site to order 2 more Minis, but saw this 560ah Battery being advertised and had to check it out! This battery somehow fit in a nearly smaller footprint than my minis, yet provided 160 more AHs! So I decided to just pull the trigger and redo my electrical to accommodate the taller battery. Glad I did. As this renovation is how I found my cheap inline fuse holder was melting! Watching a YouTube video of a teardown of this battery, it looks super serviceable. I had to see how it was internally put together to see why litime says to not mount this battery upside down, or terminal side down. The guts confirmed that I would be safe to mount the battery on its back like I planned. This battery is SUPER heavy. So have a friend ready to help unless youre somewhat strong 😅 I watched the FedEx driver literally just plop it off the dolly and fall on the ground. Thankfully LiTime does an amazing job of packaging these. So far its been great! Battery lasts a long time and provides plenty of power. My 560w of solar keeps the battery topped off, and I can run the AC all night and still have plenty of battery left for the morning. Cant wait to see the next gen of this battery! And now I have 4 Litime Minis I can build a portable backup for my house to keep my fridge going if there's another outage 😅 Helene had our power out for 9 days!

Just switched from two 80ah lead acid batteries to one 320ah Litime battery. Upgraded to dc to dc charger and was amazed. Went from running the generator 2 hours a day to a 4 day off grid trip and still had 55% battery left. Never have to run the generator. Best upgrade you can do for off grid camping. Also bought a 50amp charger that recharged the battery to 100 in 2.5 hours. The Bluetooth battery monitor is the best. Always know what power consumption is doing and approximately how long the battery last with different things turned on. Great product that exceeded my expectations.

I replaced 2x100Ah AGM batteries with this 12v 200Ah (Amperetime 200Ah PLUS). On a full charge, it will run my entire RV for 1.5 days (average 10Amps continuous and a couple of spikes of 60Amps for about 10 minutes for a coffee maker, and 2 minutes at 100 Amps for a microwave). I have Starlink mounted in my RV, and I use a power inverter to feed it. It takes between 7 and 10Amps at 12v continuously. With my previous AGM batteries, I could not leave Starlink on overnight -the batteries would drop below 10.6v and turn off my inverter in about 7 hours. With this battery, I can leave Starlink overnight, and the Solar will re-charge the battery fully the next day. I dont use my generator at all! It should be noted that I bought a $65 solar charge controller, and it would not charge the battery on an overcast day, and also would not turn off when fully charged! As a result, my solar panels overcharged this battery and the measured battery voltage was 20v!!!!!! While I NEVER recommend doing this, I was incredibly impressed to see that the internal Battery Management system on this Ampere Time battery was able to disconnect this incoming power and protect itself! Nothing even got warm. I did not really expect the battery to survive that, but it is still running with LOTS of power! It should also be noted that I bought a NEW solar charge controller from Renogy (40Amps), and that device does NOT overcharge the battery, but is also allows the solar to charge the battery on an overcast day. The previous charge controller would only put out power when the solar was in direct sunshine, which severely impacted the charging performance. The problem was the solar charge controller, not the battery. The battery is awesome! I highly recommend this battery, and I am sure I will buy another one in the future. Update: I (accidentally) tested the undervoltage protection, and I am happy to say that worked also. I was monitoring it overnight while running the 6-10Amp load (Starlink), and around midnight, it was down to 12.8v. I felt it would be ok until morning. Well I was wrong. I checked on it at 7AM and it was 0v - dead as dead could be. I disconnected the battery and left it while I worked for the day. Around 4PM, I put a volt meter on it and it showed 11.5v. I reconnected it, and charged with a 110v (shore power) charger, and it was accepting 20Amps of charge and quickly raised to 12.5v I will let it charge fully now, but I was happy to see I had not permanently damaged it. I highly recommend this battery, and I am sure I will buy another one in the future.

It’s a very good battery.

The battery, I have no doubt, will be awesome. Make sure to measure your battery box. Most likely you will need to replace it to hold this beauty. Very happy with my purchase.

So far so good, it was nice loosing 90lbs of battery off my tongue and gaining 50% in power doing it. Price does sting a bit but so far it has proven worth it. When i get up in morning i still have plenty of battery left after falling asleep with the tv on. My 2 group 34 lead acid batteries where over 140 lbs combined. This reduced my weight by 90lbs which is a great savings for me as my tow weight is within 200 of my max allowable. So having more power and reducing my hauling weight was a double win for me. With 250 watts of solar i can sustain the battery’s for a week of living without needing any additional charging or power. I run my curling fan all night and heater when it’s below 40 deg and it’s great to wake up not have to start the generator as the battery’s are flat and solar won’t kick in for couple hours.

Been absolutely amazing so far! I use one in my camper build! Planning to put 3 total in the solar system!! Been running ac, tv on the ac line of the camper and its been doing great! Getting roughly 8-10 hours off the battery using ac and everything else running in the camper! So happy with battery life, capacity, power and ease of use!

I’ll start out by saying I’ve owned several other litime products in the past without issue. I installed this high capacity battery on my houseboat for the “house” battery bank and paired it with Litimes charger made for this application. The battery itself is excellent with its capacity. The problem is the battery charger won’t charge the battery unless you unplug it and plug it back in. You have to do this EVERY TIME the battery starts to go down. From what I see online I’m not the only one with this issue. Some online have said the battery management system on the battery itself causes the charger to not recognize it needs to turn on. It’s basically useless to me for my setup if the charger won’t come on when it needs to. I don’t know if the battery is causing the issue or the charger itself but what a disappointment. I contacted their support team and their response was “sorry, we will forward to our R&D team to fix in the future and here is a 6% discount for your next purchase. Really? You have nothing to say about this issue other than take 6% off the next order? This was expensive and didn’t work out, there will be no “next order”.

Très bonne batterie j'en ai eu deux de 100 amp au paravent et très satisfait.

I used my battery for the first time after receiving it about a month ago. I used it for a weekend of camping in Jasper where night time temperatures were around 5C or less. When I connected the battery and checked my RV monitor it said “Charging” which I found unusual as normally this is only lit up when plugged in or on a generator. I checked again that evening when the furnace was running and a couple of lights (LED bulbs) were on. It was now displaying “Good” which is what I normally see with the four 6 Volt batteries that I previously used. When the furnace shut off it went back to charging. This didn’t change after three nights of camping. I did use a couple of 100 watt solar panels to charge during the day but I didn’t really babysit them and only turned them a couple of times. I just used my multimeter to check the battery and it’s showing 13.05 volts, I started with 13.65 Needless to say I’m impressed with the performance of the battery. I do wonder about the performance over time but so far I’m very happy. I did remove the battery and will store it inside. Last year I bought a 100Ah battery from this company and used it for 6 nights last summer to run my CPAP machine. It’s performance hasn’t changed at all from last year. I checked it after three nights of use this past trip and it’s at 13.10 volts. I had it hooked to a 100 watt solar panel as well. It’s definitely a change from the old lead acid batteries but so far I’m very impressed. So much easier to move around. I still have two 6 volts lead acid batteries so I installed a switch to isolate the two battery systems from each other. I highly recommend the company and the batteries.

Wow. Not sure where to start. Came quickly, well packaged and this thing looks great! The information in the box is complete and to the point. This battery is really light for how big it is. I will be installing it in an offroad trailer build in a couple weeks and will update with pics once it's in use. I will say that my 1st impression is that Ampere Time is very interested in customer satisfaction from a product level and a service level and the product, the packaging and customer reviews all point that way. I can't wait to install this and see if the performance is as top notch as the rest of this experience. I'm pretty stoked...

Pour l'instant je suis très satisfait. Jai reçu ma batterie vendu comme un produit seconde main de la cie mais a vrai dire le produit étais comme neuf. Boîte, batterie, manuel etc etc. Sur mon chargeur intelligent c'était déjà chargé a 80%. Cette batterie me fournira le courant pr mon vr. Jai la fan du frigo au propane, éclairage, la fan du chauffage au propane. Chargeur pr cell et tablette. J'ai 3 jours d'autonomie. Je crois que pr le prix j'ai fais un très bon achat.

very pleased
