$269 12V LiFePO4: Worth the risk?

Lotsa empty space inside

Hello, how can I contact you? I have battery products that I would like to cooperate with you.

looking for the best budget 24V 50Ah battery for kayak trolling motor. What do you recommend?

These cheapo batteries are $169 right now. $100 less a year later!

Li batteries usualy are usable down to 60% capacity.

Really like your analysis and explanations. Helps even beginners understand why this battery is such a bad idea!
Thanks a bunch!

When will we see some videos on Sodium ion ?

I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable and funny.

$200 on Amazon now !

It's down to $200 on Amazon now.

I just picked this battery up for 140 on Amazon.

Lots of cars in China have been flood damage, mabey those are salvaged cells from flood EV's? I'm sure some industrious companies are trying to make money from scrap. Or like you say, used up but still working. Kinda like checking AA batteries in a set and saving the good ones. I've got a whole bunch of " still good" in a container myself.

You get what you pay for...

China LiFePo4 batteries: The new pinata for solar enthusiasts, what will YOU find inside?!

for the price. it will sell out.
most out here in the real world, do not need a million watts and a zillion amps storage in there rv's.
but it would be far better in a smaller case. and a larger bms, as size does matter for some.
aka: my rv is only a small 30 amp unit. so this battery might work. but space is limited so a smaller case is required.
now if it was a 200 amp, with a 75-100 amp bms in that case for this price, i would be on it.

Por favor cual tu recomienda para car audio 😊

By question is general, what do we do with old
LiIon & LiFe batteries ?
Do landfills want them?

Thank you for doing this. I was thinking about getting those, but since I'm new to this I didn't know why they were so cheap.

Gg

Have you seen the 100AH version? 100AH BMS, grade A batteries and not as big. I bought one for $259, and it's been awesome. Maybe review one next?

I am wondering if their 50ah Pro I just bought for $180 that claims Grade A are new cells or used now.

In my country Korea, there's a saying everything explodes except the bomb if it is made in China.
Is your RV, cars or homes worth the risk?

i try to get one 2022 , and it got stopped mid ship and send back I get a refund , after some time. maybe they redid them because now they are back on amazon , and cost a lot more.

I made the mistake of not watching your video until after I bought a 220ah Time US B
It only charged to 186 ah
It’s past it’s 30 return policy and it’s draining itself with all connections removed, in about 18 hrs
I don’t know what to do
Terry
Any suggestions on why it’s discharging itself with nothing plugged into it
Thank you

I bought one of these BEFORE I saw this video. Installed, mine will work for a couple hours, then is goes out. Unscrew the terminals a spark and then it works again. Dunno

Think this is the "sturdy" version, guess its "more-off-road" and bigger because of that? Pro version is smaller...

Hi everyone, was wondering what 12volt Lifepo4 100 AH battery is best for the lowest price. Seen a few on amazon but idk, was hoping someone here can steer me in the right direction.

Great video…thanks I am shopping for these batteries and this is great info

It does appear to be marketed towards Rv's. Many RV operators are on a tight budget, the battery case is actually perfect because many are already set up to hold that battery size so its just a matter of sliding it in and replacing the old. So, compared to a traditional lead acid deep cycle battery many older RV's have this very well may be a good battery. If it holds up which as you say is an unknown. With my old setup all I ran was lights, Tv and water pump the 50 amp BMS is just fine.

Right on their web site it says used but only in German and the batteries where from electric buses

their 100ah and 200ah plus has prismatic, grade A cells and 100A bms for not much more money. Gets great reviews online. Why would anyone want to get this instead?

Thank you for this review !

I bought 2 50ah Ask if external balance was need never answered there manual say rewire every 6 weeks that would suck and absolutely no mention of safety glasses to be worn at all. I mentioned that it was a safety issue, and their secretary said I was a fool. I didn’t know nothing about the batteries lithium batteries.

Hi almost every battery you review goes up in price almost immediately, not so sure how your channel is helping the consumers

There must be a market for this battery, and it would be a price point purchase. You have to keep in mind the average consumer has little to non savvy when purchasing this type of battery, and it might work out well for them.

Hey will why didn't you do a capacity test ;)

I am currently looking at a cheaper than normal lithium battery on Amazon, but after seeing this video I have lost all confidence in the market, so I think I will trade up to AGM. I wanted lithium phosphate, but there is no way I am going there now. thanks for sharing.

It has been a couple years since you tested a batch of low price batteries and prices on all of them have come down. Time for another low price shoot out!

I am having a small off grid problem. Is there a forum I can go to and maybe find out what I am doing wrong. This is on a houseboat. Thanks, Tom

i think there test cells cells tested to max b for continued production & why not sell them instead of storing them even in China don't think they would just throw them away, the case is quite funny obviously they had surplus 200ah cases & only so much inventory of the 100ah cases so ..China wise, USE WHAT YOU GOT CHIN

Have you ever tested a Bunfloe 12V 100ah.. or anything from Bunfloe? I picked up a couple from Amazon CHEAP... want to run them this summer as my house batteries in my boat. Would love to see a tear down

Hi will watched the vid. Great info have lifepo4 here in the Philippines for 120 dollars .After watching I decided to buy a more expensive one try to get awa from used cells no guarantee here. Ok thanks

Hi!
Maybe you can help out. I bought this battery and a timeusb 40A charger. The charger has a display and it shows “capacity it has charged the battery by”, but I don’t know what unit is this. It says something like 0.39C, 10C, 15.8C. Is this watt*hours?)

It appears that now they have the timeusb PRO 12v 100ah with more, proper dimensions.
Can we test one of these?

It's good to know what is really lurking in these cases so we can actually get a good deal appreciate the time you put in to share this stuff with us

I sure wish that you would have load tested that battery, and possibly even tried it with a substitute BMS that would more closely match the cells.

Pionology has cheap batteries they claim are A cells. Please evaluate one.

Maybe they can make more $ selling these used than recycling them.

What about the Cloud Energy 300AH for $799. Is it complete junk? Looks like it has good options. Thanks
