CHINS 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery

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.

brand: CHINS capacity: 12V 100 Ah confidence: medium updated: Aug 17, 2026

A battery is a component, not a power supply. Rated capacity is measured at a stated discharge rate and temperature (shown below where the manufacturer publishes it). Real usable energy is lower and depends on the depth of discharge you run the pack to, the load, the temperature and the inverter it feeds. This index publishes rated figures only and derives no single "real usable watt-hours" number. On its own a bare battery has no inverter, no charge controller and no AC outlet: it stores energy for a system you build around it, and its safe charge and discharge limits (in the specifications below) are part of that system design.

Sourcing note:This product has no official manufacturer source we could verify, so its core specifications come from a retailer or marketplace listing. Every field is marked in the provenance table below and carries lower confidence. Retailer listings can be wrong, so treat these figures as a starting point rather than a manufacturer guarantee, and anything not stated is left blank rather than estimated.

Overview

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.

Variant note: The single-battery, non-Bluetooth CHINS 12V 100Ah with a 100 A BMS and 4000+ cycle claim (ASIN B09F9M82VN). CHINS lists many near-identical 100Ah SKUs that differ by pack quantity (2/3/4-packs), Bluetooth, and cycle rating (2000 / 3000 / 4500 / 6000); this record is the single non-Bluetooth 4000-cycle listing and must not be merged with those.

Data note: 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.

Specifications

Chemistry, nominal voltage, rated capacity and weight come from official manufacturer sources; the exact claims and links are in the provenance table. Peak (surge) discharge is always shown with the seconds it is rated for and is never presented as the continuous rating, and any cycle-life figure is shown with the depth of discharge it is quoted at. Figures the manufacturer does not publish are left blank rather than estimated.

Chemistry LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate)
Nominal voltage 12V nominal (12.8 V)
Rated capacity 100 Ah
Rated energy Not stated by the manufacturer (100 Ah × 12.8 V works out to about 1,280 Wh, but this index only publishes a figure the manufacturer states)

Cycle-life test conditions The Amazon listing title claims '4000+ Rechargeable Cycles' but states no depth-of-discharge basis for this battery, so no DoD-qualified cycle count is recorded (the schema's anti-hype gate requires a DoD with any cycle count).

Use cases

  • Budget 12 V house, trolling-motor or golf-cart replacement where a low-cost LiFePO4 drop-in is wanted
  • Buyers comparing marketplace-only brands who still want a normalized spec sheet with honest provenance

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Built-in 100 A BMS with a low-temperature charge cut-off, both stated on the listing
  • Light for the class at 10.64 kg
  • Widely available and inexpensive through the marketplace

Weaknesses

  • No manufacturer source exists: specs are retailer-sourced and carry lower confidence
  • No depth-of-discharge basis published for its cycle claim, so no cycle-life rating could be recorded
  • Energy (Wh), dimensions, temperature ranges, surge current, group size and warranty are not stated for this unit
  • No verified single-unit product image available from a manufacturer source
