Power Queen 12,8V 100Ah self-heating LiFePO4 Battery - Built-in heating pad

The self-heating LiFePO4 battery 12V 100Ah has 2 heating pads installed on both sides, which ensure sufficient heating and more comprehensive protection of the battery.

How do the heating pads work?

Step 1: Connect the battery to the charger. (DC charging voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V, DV charging current > 10 A)

Step 2: The temperature sensors record the battery temperature.

  • When the battery temperature is between -20℃ to 5℃ / -4℉ to 41℉, the BMS will start to heat the battery through the heating pads, and the battery will not be charged during the heating process.
  • If the battery temperature is > 5℃ / 41℉, the battery will be charged normally and the heating function will not be activated.

Step 3: When the battery temperature reaches 10℃ / 50℉, the heating will stop and the battery will be charged. (This usually takes approx. 90 minutes from -10℃ to 10℃ /14℉ to 50℉ and approx. 150 minutes from -20℃ to 10℃ / -4℉ to 50℉.)

Features of Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah Self-Heating LiFePO4 Battery

The lowest operating temperature is -4℉/-20°C

The 12.8V 100Ah Self-Heating Lithium Battery allows you to effortlessly charge your batteries in cold environments, especially with the built-in self-heating pad that can be charged in -4°F/-20°C ambient temperatures can.

Summary of the Power Queen 12,8V 100Ah series

We have introduced these 4 different batteries. Now let's give a quick summary of it.

Similarities between batteries

  1. All of these 12.8V 100Ah batteries have the same rated voltage, energy, internal resistance, service life, charging method, charging voltage and recommended charging current.

  1. All batteries come with a 5-year warranty. If you have any problems with your battery during the warranty period, please contact service.de@ipowerqueen.com. We will actively solve your problems.

Differences between batteries

  1. Dimension &Weight

Each battery has its own size and weight. Of all of them, the Mini is the smallest and lightest. If you place great importance on the size of the battery, for example in a trolling motor, Mini would be your excellent choice.

  1. Protection against low temperatures

Of these 4 batteries, only Smart OTCB and Self-heating have the low temperature function. If you live in regions with long winters, batteries with low temperature protection may be a more optimal choice for you.

  1. Battery cells

Unlike alternative batteries, the Mini Pouch uses LiFePO4 battery cells, unlike prismatic LiFePO4 battery cells used by others.

Pouch cells are characterized by flexibility and low weight, making them ideal for portable applications such as mobile devices and power banks. They are often used when space limitations and weight considerations are significant factors for the specific application. Pouch cells also demonstrate a commendable ability to maintain voltage levels and discharge rates even in colder temperatures.

This distinction contributes significantly to the Mini achieving a lighter and more compact design.

FAQS about Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah series LiFePO4 battery

1. Can I connect the classic 12V 100Ah and Mini in series or parallel?

Unfortunately, putting these two batteries together would negatively impact their individual lifespan due to their different cells and internal structures.

2. Can these LiFePO4 batteries be used as starting batteries for golf carts?

Unfortunately, all Power Queen batteries have been deep cycle batteries. Deep cycle batteries are carefully designed to deliver a constant flow of current over a longer period of time, while starter batteries are specifically designed to deliver a surge of power within a short period of time.

3. Can I charge this LiFePO4 battery with a lead-acid battery charger?

Not recommended as it may affect the performance and lifespan of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Read the blog to learn more about charging with lead-acid battery chargers.
