With advances in battery technology, Bluetooth monitoring devices have proven indispensable tools, enabling real-time monitoring of the charge level directly from your mobile phone or PC. Power Queen introduces two innovative smart lithium batteries: the 12V 100Ah Group 24 Smart and the 12V 100Ah 190H Smart They 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.

Performance similarities between the Group24 Smart and the 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 a 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 performance and capacity, and extends the battery's lifespan.

• Security protection:

  IP65 certified for robust, dustproof 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 exhibit a low self-discharge rate of only 1.5-2% per month, which allows 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, motorhomes, 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 feature a 100A BMS with under-temperature protection.

In cold weather, the conductivity of lithium batteries decreases and ion mobility is impaired. These factors affect important processes such as encapsulation 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 the 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.

• Charging shutdown:

  If the sensor detects that the ambient or battery temperature falls below the preset threshold of 0°C (32°F), the charging process will be automatically stopped.

• Discharge shutdown:

  If the temperature drops below -20°C (-4°F), the BMS will automatically prevent the battery from discharging.

• Resuming the charging process:

  Once the return to the safe charging range (5°F/41°C) is detected, the BMS will reactivate the charging process.

Low-temperature protection safeguards the performance, capacity, and overall lifespan of batteries from potential hazards caused by extreme temperatures.

1.3 The advantage of Bluetooth

The Bluetooth 5.0 Smart Monitor for the 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. Our wireless solution eliminates cable clutter and unnecessary costs, offering you convenience at the touch of a button.

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 improved features. However, they differ in size, positioning, and ideal application scenarios, particularly 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)

In contrast 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 Battery placement in the motorhome:

The 190H Smart battery is designed for compact Class B motorhomes and has an ideal height of 188 mm, which is perfect for placement under the passenger seat (under 190 mm).

This design aligns with European motorhome preferences, where compactness is valued due to narrower roads. Class B motorhomes are favored 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 benefits German travelers, who can choose between different caravan types such as Class C, Class B, or trailers. In Germany, spacious caravans suitable for long journeys are preferred due to the extensive terrain and roads. The lightweight design of the Group 24 Smart battery allows for flexible use in various caravan models and to suit different 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 can negatively affect the performance and lifespan of the LiFePO4 battery.

There are three recommended methods for charging lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries:

• Use a dedicated LiFePO4 charger designed for this type of battery.
• Charge the battery using solar panels.
• Use a generator to recharge.

Using a lead-acid charger is not suitable for LiFePO4 batteries and can damage them. Always use the appropriate charger or charging technology to safely and optimally charge your LiFePO4 battery.

Detailed information can be found at: " 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 have excellent shock resistance, proper installation is crucial. We recommend the following precautions:

• Use special battery holders or shock absorbers to reduce the effects of vibrations on the battery.
• Opt for dedicated LiFePO4 battery packs or enclosures to increase shock resistance and protection.
• Ensure the battery's weight is evenly distributed in the lower part of the vehicle.

3. What is the reason why caravan/boat batteries cannot be charged?

If lithium batteries cannot be charged, this is usually due to internal factors such as battery aging, internal short circuits, or activation of the self-protection mechanism. External factors such as a faulty charger can also contribute. We offer Troubleshooting tips for charging problems.

4. Is the Power Queen app only set to English?

Don't worry, German, French, Spanish and Italian are also configured in the app!
