CHINS Smart 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery (Heated + Bluetooth)

12V (12.8 V nominal) 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery with self-heating for low-temperature charging, Bluetooth app monitoring, and a 100 A BMS, 10.98 kg. Retailer-sourced: CHINS has no manufacturer website, so these specs come from the Amazon listing and carry lower confidence, with anything the listing does not clearly state for this unit left blank.

brand: CHINS family: Smart 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 Smart 12V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery with an internal self-heating function and Bluetooth monitoring, indexed at the retailer tier. As with the other CHINS records here, CHINS has no manufacturer website, so the figures come from the product's Amazon listing rather than a manufacturer source and carry lower confidence. The listing states a 12.8 V nominal voltage, 100 Ah capacity, a built-in 100 A BMS, a self-heating function that supports charging at low temperature (the title cites down to -20 C), Bluetooth with a phone app that reports state of charge, and a 10.98 kg item weight (Amazon lists the manufacturer as Shenzhen Grenergy Technology). The listing's cycle claim and temperature ranges conflict between the title and the A+ marketing content (2,000-plus versus 4,000-plus cycles; a -20 C versus a -35 C charge floor), which is a sign of shared boilerplate across CHINS SKUs, so no cycle-life rating and no temperature ranges are recorded rather than picking one side. Energy in watt-hours, dimensions, depth of discharge, surge current, group size and warranty are not reliably stated for this unit and are left blank.

Variant note: The single-unit CHINS Smart 12V 100Ah with BOTH self-heating and Bluetooth (ASIN B09PRRYLHN). Distinct from the plain non-Bluetooth chins-12v-100ah (B09F9M82VN) indexed here, and from CHINS's many other 100Ah SKUs (plain Bluetooth without heating, multipacks, charger bundles), most of whose ASINs are now delisted.

Data note: RETAILER-TIER record (CHINS sample batch, 2026-08-17). CHINS has no manufacturer website; sourced from the Amazon listing (ASIN B09PRRYLHN, verified live 2026-08-17, single-variant page with zero variation dropdowns). Reliable values are from the listing's structured detail table (Brand: CHINS; Manufacturer: Shenzhen Grenergy Technology Co.,Ltd; Voltage: 12.8; Item Weight: 24.2 pounds = 10.98 kg) and title (Smart, Low Temperature Heating + Bluetooth, 12V 100AH, LiFePO4, Built-in 100A BMS, APP monitors SOC). BOILERPLATE-CONFLICT DISCIPLINE: the A+ marketing block states figures that conflict with the title (title '2000+ Cycles' and '-4F/-20C' charge floor vs A+ '4000+' cycles, a 'Max DoD 100%', a 'Max charge current 70A', and a 'Charge -35C~50C' range). These conflicts indicate CHINS reuses one A+ block across SKUs, so cycleLifeCycles, usableDoDPercent, maxContinuousChargeA and all temperature ranges are left null rather than resolved. selfHeating true and bluetoothMonitoring true come from the title and are the distinguishing features of this SKU. capacityWh null (1280Wh appears only in the shared A+ block). Per-field confidence low across the board.

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.

Rated cycle life No cycle-life figure published
Cycle-life test conditions The listing conflicts with itself on cycle life: the title says '2000+ Cycles' while the A+ marketing content says '4000+', with no clean depth-of-discharge basis tied to this unit, so no cycle-life rating is recorded.

Use cases

  • Cold-climate 12 V systems where a self-heating LiFePO4 can accept charge below freezing
  • Buyers who want Bluetooth state-of-charge monitoring on a budget marketplace battery

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Self-heating for low-temperature charging plus Bluetooth app monitoring, both stated on the listing
  • Built-in 100 A BMS; light for the class at 10.98 kg
  • A single-variant listing (no confusing multi-config dropdown), which makes the title claims cleaner to attribute

Weaknesses

  • No manufacturer source exists: specs are retailer-sourced and carry lower confidence
  • The listing conflicts with itself on cycle life and charge-temperature floor (shared CHINS boilerplate), so neither is recorded
  • Energy (Wh), dimensions, depth of discharge, surge current, group size and warranty are not reliably stated
  • No verified single-unit product image available from a manufacturer source
