  "summary": "12V (12.8 V nominal) 200 Ah LiFePO4 battery, 18.9 kg, with 2,560 Wh stated energy, Bluetooth monitoring, a low-temperature charge cutoff, a 100 A BMS, a 500 A 1-second surge and 4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge. IP65, 4S4P, 5-year warranty.",
  "description": "This is LiTime's 12V 200Ah Smart battery, the standard-case Bluetooth model. It is rated 200 Ah and 2,560 Wh at a 12.8 V nominal, with a 100 A battery management system holding continuous charge and discharge to 100 A each, a recommended charge current of 40 A, and a 500 A surge rated for 1 second. Cycle life is published as a curve: 4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, 6,000 at 80% and 15,000 at 60%. It charges between 0 C and 50 C and discharges between -20 C and 60 C, with a low-temperature protection circuit that automatically stops charging below 0 C and resumes at about 5 C. It is not self-heating. Bluetooth monitoring is built in. It weighs 18.9 kg, is IP65 rated with M8 bolt terminals, and expands to 4S4P with a 5-year warranty. Worth noting against the Renogy 200 Ah indexed here: the two share the same nameplate capacity and 2,560 Wh of energy, but LiTime ships a 100 A BMS against Renogy's 200 A, so the Renogy delivers twice the continuous current from the same stored energy.",

    "notes": "Figures taken from LiTime's rendered product-specification table on 2026-08-15 (SKU L12V200-100-LTCP-BT-8-A160, where 100 is the BMS rating, LTCP is low-temperature cutoff protection and BT is Bluetooth). METHOD NOTE: LiTime's spec table is JS-hydrated, so a raw curl fetch returns a false 'unpublished' verdict; the page has to be rendered. WHY THIS IS THE BLUETOOTH MODEL: the plain non-Bluetooth 12V 200Ah is discontinued. Its URL 301-redirects to the Xtra Mini RV battery, and the only remaining 200 Ah listings are this Smart model, a Plus self-heating model, three compact Xtra Mini variants and several refurbished 'Like New' listings. There is no current non-Bluetooth, non-self-heating 200 Ah, so the plainest available standard-case SKU was taken. WEIGHT CONFLICT preserved: the spec table, an on-page comparison table and the meta bullet all state 41.75 lbs (18.9 kg), while one marketing paragraph on the same page states 48.28 lbs. The 41.75 lb figure is recorded on a three-to-one basis and the conflict is noted rather than resolved silently; the LiTime manual PDF could not be text-extracted to break the tie, so this remains the one open thread in the record. Weight and dimensions are conversions of imperial-only published values ('Weight Approx.: 41.75 lbs'; 'Size: L20.95*W8.15*H8.5 inch'), with the source strings preserved in the raw claims. selfHeating is recorded false as a PUBLISHED NEGATIVE (the spec table prints a slash on the Self-Heating row and a check on Low-Temperature Protection). usableDoDPercent is null: 100% DoD appears only as a cycle-life test condition. capacityRatingBasis, bciGroupSize and terminalTorque are not published.",
    "variantNotes": "12V 200Ah Smart with Bluetooth, standard case (SKU L12V200-100-LTCP-BT-8-A160). Distinct from the 12V 200Ah Plus Self-Heating (200 A BMS, heavier), the three Xtra Mini RV, Marine and Truck models (compact case, 200 A BMS with a 1000 A 1-second peak), the 12V 230Ah Smart, and the several refurbished 'Like New' listings, one of which is the discontinued plain 200 Ah this SKU replaced. Note also that LiTime, Power Queen and WEIZE appear to share an OEM platform, so their spec tables and SKU patterns run parallel and comparison copy should not imply independent engineering.",
