Can I charge LiTime 12V lithium batteries with solar panels?

Yes, you can. LiTime batteries are compatible with several charging methods:

Solar Panels: This is an excellent way to charge your batteries off-grid. You must use a solar charge controller between the panels and the battery to regulate the voltage and ensure a safe, efficient charge. For recommended solar panel sizing, please refer to your battery’s product manual.
AC-DC LiFePO4 Charger: Use a dedicated LiFePO4 battery charger that matches your battery's voltage specifications. This is the most common and straightforward method for charging from a standard wall outlet.
Alternator / Generator:If your alternator or generator has a DC output, you will need a DC-to-DC charger to safely charge your LiTime battery.If it has an AC output, simply connect a compatible AC-DC LiFePO4 charger to it, just as you would with a wall outlet.

Read on LiTime's LiFePO4 Charging Guide for more information on properly charge the battery.

Is it safe to leave a LiFePO4 battery on the charger?

While LiTime batteries and chargers are equipped with built-in protections against overcharging, we recommend disconnecting the battery once it reaches a 100% charge. This practice helps maximize the battery's long-term lifespan.

For your convenience, our chargers are available with Anderson connectors, which allow you to quickly unplug the battery without unscrewing the terminals. For maximum safety, always unplug the charger from the AC wall outlet first before disconnecting the Anderson connector from the battery.

Can I charge my 12V LiFePO4 battery to 100%?

Yes, you can safely charge your LiTime LiFePO4 battery to 100%. Our batteries are designed to handle full charge cycles without damage.

However, to achieve the absolute longest service life, a common best practice is to keep the battery’s State of Charge (SOC) between 20% and 80% for daily use.

We recommend charging to 50% before long periods of storage.

Are LiTime 12 Volt LiFePO4 batteries safe?

Absolutely. Safety is a core principle of our design. LiTime batteries are engineered to be one of the safest and most reliable power sources available for several key reasons:

Inherently Safe Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is the most stable lithium battery chemistry, with exceptional thermal stability that makes it highly resistant to overheating and fire.
Advanced Battery Management System (BMS): Every LiTime battery contains an internal BMS that acts as the brain of the battery, providing multi-level protection against: Over-charging and Over-discharging, Over-current, High and Low Temperatures, Short Circuits
Rigorous Certifications: Our battery cells meet stringent international safety and quality standards, including UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, and UN38.3, ensuring they have been thoroughly tested for reliability and performance.
