  "summary": "12V (12.8 V nominal) 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery with a built-in 100 A BMS and a low-temperature charge cut-off, 10.64 kg. Retailer-sourced: CHINS publishes no manufacturer website, so these specs come from the product's Amazon listing and carry lower confidence, with anything the listing does not state left blank.",
  "description": "This is a CHINS 12V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, indexed at the retailer tier. CHINS has no manufacturer website of its own (its brand domains carry Amazon affiliate disclosures rather than first-party spec pages), so unlike the official-sourced batteries here, this record's figures come from the product's own Amazon listing rather than a manufacturer source, and each field carries lower confidence. What the listing states for this specific single-battery, non-Bluetooth variant is recorded: a 12.8 V nominal voltage, 100 Ah capacity, a built-in 100 A battery management system, a low-temperature charge cut-off that blocks charging below freezing, and a 10.64 kg item weight. The listing title claims 4,000-plus cycles but states no depth-of-discharge basis for this battery, so no cycle-life rating is recorded. Energy in watt-hours, dimensions, temperature ranges, surge current, group size, warranty and depth of discharge are not stated for this unit on the listing and are left blank rather than estimated or borrowed from CHINS's other SKUs. The Amazon listing page also carries specifications for unrelated CHINS products in its cross-sell carousels (a 51.2 V 400 Ah rack battery, Group 24 and Group 31 units, a 200 A BMS model); none of those figures are attributed to this battery.",

    "notes": "RETAILER-TIER record (first of the CHINS sample batch, 2026-08-17). CHINS has no manufacturer website, so this is sourced entirely from the product's Amazon listing (ASIN B09F9M82VN), verified live on 2026-08-17. Values taken from the listing's own structured detail table (Manufacturer: CHINS; Voltage: 12.8 volts; Item Weight: 10.64 kg) and title (100AH, LiFePO4, Built-in 100 BMS, Low-Temperature Cut-Off). STALE-TITLE/CROSS-SELL HAZARD observed and avoided: the same page's carousels and A+ content describe OTHER CHINS products (a 51.2V 400Ah rack battery with '4000+ 100% DOD cycles', Group 24 and Group 31 units, a 1280Wh/IP65/4P4S unit, a 200A BMS model); none of those figures are attributed to this 12V 100Ah battery. Separately, ASIN B08FMTRYPT, which search returned under a '12V 100Ah' title, resolves live to a '48V 105AH Golf Cart Battery' and was rejected. cycleLifeCycles is null: the 4000+ claim has no stated DoD for this unit. capacityWh is null: not stated on the listing (100 Ah x 12.8 V would be 1280 Wh, but that is arithmetic, not a sourced claim). Per-field confidence is low across the board because retailer listings are frequently wrong.",
