, From kimei Ma, 8 min reading time
With advances in battery technology, Bluetooth monitoring devices have proven to be indispensable tools, allowing real-time monitoring of the charge level directly from your phone or PC. Power Queen introduces two innovative smart lithium batteries: the 12V 100Ah Gruppe24 Smart and the 12V 100Ah 190H Smart promise a better travel experience with more freedom.
To help you choose the ideal smart battery, we will now make a detailed comparison of the similarities and differences between these two models.
Similarities in performance between Gruppe24 Smart and 190H Smart
1.1 Basic performance
These two batteries have the performance advantages of lithium iron phosphate technology:
- High cycle stability:
- 4000+ cycles at 100% DOD
- 6000+ cycles at 80% DOD
- 15000+ cycles at 60% DOD
Lithium batteries exhibit minimal memory effect compared to lead-acid batteries. They can be safely charged and discharged between 20% and 80% of their total capacity, which reduces the occurrence of the memory effect, increases effective power and capacity, and extends battery life.
- Protecting security:
IP65 certified for rugged, dust and waterproof properties, ensuring adaptability to various environmental conditions.
- Class A cells:
They undergo rigorous testing and quality control to ensure stability and reliability in various applications.
- Space-saving energy storage:
Due to their special chemical composition and design, lithium batteries have a high energy density and are therefore lighter and more compact than other battery types.
- Fast charging and low self-discharge:
Lithium batteries can handle higher currents due to their chemical composition. They also have a low self-discharge rate of only 1.5-2% per month, allowing for long-term storage.
- Expandability (in series or parallel):
Supports configurations such as 4P (12.8V 400Ah), 4S (51.2V 100Ah) and 4P4S (51.2V 400Ah), allowing capacity expansion up to a maximum of 20.48kWh.
- Wide range of applications:
Suitable for various applications such as solar energy storage, electric motors, RVs, camping, marine and off-grid systems.

1.2 Protection against low temperature shutdown
Both the 12V 100Ah Group 24 Smart and the 12V 100Ah 190H Smart batteries have a 100A BMS with low temperature protection.
In cold weather, the conductivity of lithium batteries is reduced and ion mobility is impaired. These factors impact critical processes such as embedding and charging, leading to lower capacity, increased internal resistance, accelerated self-discharge, shortened battery life, and increased safety risks.
Recognizing temperature limits is invaluable for charging under extreme conditions and protects your battery. Adhering to the recommended temperature range of Power Queen is advisable.
The BMS has a cold protection mechanism to ensure the longevity and condition of the battery, especially in cold environments.
Operating principle of low-temperature charging protection:
- Temperature sensor:
The BMS provides comprehensive monitoring and protection of the battery and has a temperature sensor to monitor the battery temperature.
- Disabling charging:
If the sensor detects that the ambient or battery temperature falls below the preset threshold of 0°C (32°F), charging will automatically stop.
- Discharge shutdown:
If the temperature drops below -20°C (-4°F), the BMS will automatically prevent the battery from discharging.
- Resuming charging:
As soon as the return to the safe charging range (5°F/41°C) is detected, the BMS will reactivate the charging process.
Low temperature protection protects the performance, capacity and overall service life of batteries from potential hazards caused by extreme temperatures.
1.3 The advantage of Bluetooth
The Bluetooth 5.0 Smart Monitor for 12V 100Ah Group 24 Smart and 12V 100Ah 190H Smart batteries enables seamless navigation on your mobile phone or PC for real-time battery status checks, continuous monitoring, and one-click discharge and shutdown control.

Differences between Group 24 Smart and 190H Smart
The 12V 100Ah Group 24 Smart and the 12V 100Ah 190H Smart batteries offer similar basic performance and enhanced features. However, they differ in size, positioning, and ideal usage scenarios, especially in motorhomes.
2.1 Weight and dimensions:
The Group 24 battery weighs 21.83 pounds, while the 190H Smart battery weighs 22.05 pounds.
Dimensions:
Group 24 Smart: L10.24" x B6.61" x H8.30" (L260mm x W168mm x H211mm)
190H Smart: L14.09" x B6.97" x H7.40" (L358mm x W177mm x H188mm)
Compared to the Group 24 battery, which closely adheres to BCI standards, the Smart 190H features a differentiated height design tailored for better integration into European B-Class sedans.
2.2 Placement of the battery in the motorhome:
The 190H Smart Battery is designed for compact Class B motorhomes and has an ideal height of 188 mm, making it perfect for placement under the passenger seat (less than 190 mm).
This design meets European motorhome preferences, where compactness is valued due to narrower roads. Class B motorhomes are preferred by European travelers for their versatility and compact size.
In contrast, the Group 24 Smart Battery offers flexible placement options. It fits in the caravan's battery compartment or in the Group 24 battery box, which is compatible with Group 24, 27, and 31 battery boxes.
This versatility appeals to German travelers, who can choose between various caravan types, such as Class C, Class B, or trailers. Due to the large terrain and roads, spacious caravans suitable for long distances are preferred in Germany. The lightweight properties of the Group 24 Smart Battery allow for flexible use in various caravan models and user preferences.

FAQs:
1. Is it reliable to use a lead-acid charger to charge my lithium battery?
We strongly advise against charging LiFePO4 batteries with a lead-acid charger, as this may affect the performance and lifespan of the LiFePO4 battery.
There are three recommended methods for charging lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries:
- Use a special LiFePO4 charger designed for this battery type.
- Charge the battery using solar panels.
- Use a generator to charge.
Using a lead-acid charger is not suitable for LiFePO4 batteries and may damage the battery. Please always use the appropriate charger or charging technology to charge your LiFePO4 battery safely and optimally.
For detailed information, see: " Can I charge a LiFePO4 battery with a lead-acid charger?"
2. Can lithium batteries withstand the stresses of a motorhome?
While lithium batteries themselves offer excellent shock resistance, proper installation is crucial. We recommend the following precautions:
- Use special battery holders or shock absorbers to reduce the effects of vibration on the battery.
- Choose special LiFePO4 battery packs or cases to increase shock resistance and protection.
- Ensure that the weight of the battery is evenly distributed in the lower part of the vehicle.
3. What causes caravan/boat batteries to fail to charge?
When lithium batteries fail to charge, this is usually due to internal factors such as battery aging, internal short circuits, or the activation of the self-protection mechanism. External factors such as a faulty charger can also contribute. We offer Tips for troubleshooting charging problems.
4. Is the Power Queen app only available in English?
Don't worry, German, French, Spanish and Italian are also configured in the app!
