The LiTime 12V 100Ah Group 24 Bluetooth LiFePO4 battery integrates Bluetooth connectivity for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, and charge cycles. Its LiFePO4 chemistry ensures 3,000–5,000 cycles, lightweight design (24 lbs), and compatibility with Group 24 sizing. Built-in Battery Management System (BMS) safeguards against overcharge, overheating, and short circuits, making it ideal for RVs, marine, and solar applications.

How Does LiFePO4 Chemistry Compare to Traditional Lead-Acid Batteries?
LiFePO4 batteries outperform lead-acid in energy density, lifespan, and efficiency. They deliver 95%+ usable capacity vs. 50% for lead-acid, operate in -4°F to 140°F, and lack hazardous lead/acid. LiTime’s 100Ah model lasts 8–10 years, reducing long-term costs despite a higher upfront price.
| Feature | LiFePO4 | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 3,000–5,000 | 200–500 |
| Energy Density | 120 Wh/kg | 40 Wh/kg |
| Maintenance | None | Monthly |
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology also excels in cold-weather performance. While lead-acid batteries struggle below freezing, LiTime’s cells maintain 80% capacity at -4°F. This makes them ideal for alpine solar installations or RVs in seasonal climates. Additionally, LiFePO4 cells exhibit minimal voltage sag under high loads, ensuring consistent power delivery for inverters or winches.
How Does Bluetooth Connectivity Enhance User Experience?
The LiTime Bluetooth app (iOS/Android) tracks real-time voltage, state of charge, and temperature. Users set custom alerts for low voltage or overheating and log historical data to optimize charging patterns. This feature prevents unexpected failures in critical setups like medical equipment or off-grid power.
The app’s granular data logging reveals usage trends, helping users identify energy-hungry devices. For example, RV owners can pinpoint when their refrigerator consumes excess power during transit. Marine users receive push notifications if battery temperature exceeds 120°F—a common issue in engine compartments. Integration with solar charge controllers allows automated charging adjustments based on real-time state of charge (SOC), maximizing panel efficiency. Third-party testing shows the Bluetooth module maintains connectivity up to 33 feet through fiberglass or aluminum walls, ensuring reliable monitoring in most vehicles.
What Cost Savings Does This Battery Offer Over Time?
Though priced 2–3x higher than lead-acid, LiTime’s 100Ah model saves $1,200+ over 10 years via reduced replacements and 98% efficiency (vs. 80% for AGM). Solar users save 15% on energy losses, and zero maintenance eliminates watering or cleaning costs.
| Cost Factor | LiTime 100Ah | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|
| 10-Year Replacement Cost | $600 | $1,800 |
| Energy Waste | 2% | 20% |
| Maintenance Hours/Year | 0 | 5 |
Commercial solar operators report 22% faster ROI due to the battery’s depth of discharge (DOD) advantage. Unlike lead-acid batteries that degrade when drained below 50%, LiTime’s unit handles 100% DOD without lifespan penalties. Fleet managers appreciate the reduced downtime—no more monthly terminal cleaning or electrolyte checks. Over a decade, these savings offset the initial investment, particularly in high-cycling applications like food trucks or telecom backups.

FAQ
- Q: Can this battery replace a Group 24 lead-acid battery directly?
- A: Yes—its dimensions (10.2″ x 6.8″ x 8.7″) and terminal positions match Group 24 lead-acid batteries.
- Q: Does the Bluetooth function drain the battery?
- A: No—the Bluetooth module uses <0.1mA in standby, equating to <1% annual self-discharge.
- Q: Is a special charger required?
- A: Yes—use a LiFePO4-compatible charger with 14.2–14.6V absorption voltage to avoid BMS disconnects.
