  "summary": "12 V 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery, 14.06 kg, with a 100 A BMS, a 200 A 30-second surge, 100% usable depth of discharge, IP65, brass flag terminals, and a 10-year warranty. Drops into a Group 27 or Group 31 tray. No cycle-life figure is published with a depth-of-discharge basis, so none is recorded.",
  "description": "This is Battle Born's BB10012, the non-heated standard version of its 100 Ah 12 V lithium iron phosphate battery, and a US-assembled alternative to the Renogy and LiTime packs indexed here. Its battery management system holds continuous discharge to 100 A and continuous charge to 50 A, and allows a 200 A surge for 30 seconds, a materially longer surge window than the 1 to 10 second ratings common elsewhere in this family. Battle Born publishes a 100% usable depth of discharge as a specification, which is unusual: most manufacturers quote a recommended DoD of 80%. It weighs 14.06 kg, carries an IP65 rating, and uses brass flag terminals with a 3/8 in hole torqued to 9 to 11 ft-lb, rather than the M8 studs common on this family. Up to four units may be wired in series, and Battle Born states there is no limit on parallel connections. It ships no charge controller or inverter. The warranty is 10 years, the longest in this family. One figure is deliberately absent: Battle Born advertises 3,000 to 5,000 cycles and 100% depth of discharge as separate claims and never states cycles at a given depth of discharge, so this index records no cycle-life number rather than pairing two unlinked figures.",

    "notes": "Figures taken from Battle Born's official datasheet PDF and product manual on 2026-08-15 (SKU BB10012, the single purchasable variant on this URL: 'Non-Heated / Standard'). CHARGE TEMPERATURE CONFLICT, resolved and preserved: the manual's Temperature Specifications block prints 'Charge Temperature | 25°F to 135°F' and is the only row in that block with no Celsius equivalent, while the same manual states 'Battery Charge Temperature Range 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C)' and 'Cell Charge Temperature 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C)', and its BMS section states 'The BMS will not allow a charging current under 32°F (0°C)'. The 0 C to 55 C window is published verbatim in Celsius, corroborated three times, and matches the enforced BMS behaviour, so it is the recorded value; the 25°F row is noted here rather than silently dropped. Recording a sub-zero charge floor would have asserted charging at a temperature the manufacturer says the BMS blocks. nominalVoltageV is recorded as 12 because Battle Born publishes '12 Volt' and does not print a 12.8 V nominal anywhere; this index does not infer one for it, which is why this record differs from the LiFePO4 packs whose manufacturers state 12.8 V. capacityWh is null: no watt-hour figure appears in the datasheet, the manual or the product page, and it is not computed. recommendedChargeA is null: Battle Born publishes a recommended charge as a C-rate (0.5C) rather than an ampere value, and converting it would require multiplying by capacity. maxInParallel is null because the manufacturer states no limit rather than a number, and 'unlimited' is not a value this numeric field can carry; the statement itself is preserved in seriesParallelSupport. terminalTorque is stored as published in ft-lb only; a newton-metre equivalent is not published. Weight and dimensions are unit conversions of the published 31 lb and 12.76 x 6.86 x 8.95 in, with the source units preserved in the raw claims; the weight is independently corroborated by the store's own variant data (14,061 g). bciGroupSize is supported by product prose and product tags rather than a spec-table row: the manual has no group-size row, so the value is recorded with that caveat.",
    "variantNotes": "BB10012, the Non-Heated / Standard version, and the only purchasable variant on this product URL. Distinct from the BB10012H heated version and the BB10012i Smart (Bluetooth) version, which are separate SKUs. Battle Born's own documentation notes that the Class I Division 2 listing does not apply to the heated version, which confirms the non-heated model is a genuinely different product rather than a label.",
