  "summary": "12V (12.8 V nominal) 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery, 11.0 kg, with a stated 1,280 Wh of energy, a 100 A BMS, a 400 A 1-second surge, IP65, Group 31 case and a 5-year warranty. Rated 4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, with deeper-cycle tiers published at shallower discharge.",
  "description": "This is LiTime's standard 12 V 100 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, the plain Group 31 model without self-heating, Bluetooth or low-temperature protection. It is rated 100 Ah and 1,280 Wh at a 12.8 V nominal, with a 100 A battery management system holding continuous charge and discharge to 100 A each and allowing a 400 A surge for 1 second. LiTime publishes an unusually complete cycle-life picture: 4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, rising to 6,000 cycles at 80% and 15,000 at 60%, so the shallower the discharge the longer the pack lasts. It charges between 0 C and 50 C and discharges between -20 C and 60 C. Because this model has no self-heating and no low-temperature protection, it should not be charged below freezing. It weighs 11.0 kg in a Group 31 case with M8 bolt terminals and an IP65 rating, and up to four units may be wired in series and four in parallel. It ships no charge controller or inverter: it is the storage element of a system built around it, and LiTime backs it with a 5-year warranty.",
