LiTime unveils 100 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery for residential PV
LiTime has developed a new lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery storage system for residential rooftop PV projects.
“The 12 V 100 Ah Smart battery is an all-in-one LiFePO4 battery specifically designed for home solar energy storage, trolling motors, RVs, and more off-grid applications,” said the Chinese battery manufacturer.
The system has a nominal voltage of 12.8 V and a capacity of 100 Ah. It measures 274 mm x 206.5 mm x 205 mm. It comes with a five-year warranty and can purportedly operate for more than 4,000 cycles.
“The low-temperature cutoff charging feature adds extra protection over the battery under freezing temperatures for a longer lifespan while allowing users to force charging for emergency use,” said LiTime.
The device features one-touch control battery (OTCB) technology. The company says this can provide turn-on and turn-off functionality, as well as sleep mode activation and low-temp force charging. It is selling the devices for $479.99.
“It is one of the rare LiFePO4 lithium batteries that support both series and parallel connections on the market, so users can have more flexibility to customize power banks of different capacities,” it said.
*The article was updated on Dec. 17 to reflect that the battery is a lithium iron phosphate storage system.

Where in South Africa can I buy this battery ?
Exactly. Years ago I rented a villa in the Dominican Republic which had 10 lead acid 12v car batteries wired up in series and fed by the solar panels via a charge controller. Seemed to work fine for all the 110v equipment in the house.
this battery is priced at $375/kwh. many server rack batteries are under $300/kwh. EVE cells are around $150/kwh. for reference.
Explain to everyone what makes this LiFePO battery accept both series and parallel connections where (according to your article) most all others do not. I don’t think you can because any two or more batteries with same capacity, voltage and chemistry can be connected in series or parallel or combination of both.
