Part 4. FAQs about Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah VS. 100Ah Mini

1. Can I put these 2 Lithium batteries in series switch?

No. Since the two batteries have different cells and internal structures, it is not recommended to connect these two batteries together, otherwise it would harm the lifespan of each battery.

2. Can they be used as golf cart starter batteries?

No, neither the Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah nor the Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah mini batteries are suitable as starting batteries for golf carts. Both batteries are deep cycle batteries, specifically designed to provide a constant amount of energy over an extended period of time.

Starter batteries, on the other hand, are designed to deliver a high burst of power for a short period of time. Using a deep cycle battery as a starter battery could potentially damage the battery and shorten its overall lifespan.

3. Do the 12.8V 100Ah and mini batteries have a Bluetooth function?

No. The built-in BMS of these two batteries is a hardware version and cannot be used to retrieve information from PC software. Power Queen solar batteries can be connected to a monitor and monitored, but the built-in BMS cannot communicate with the monitor.

4. How do you charge the batteries?

It is not recommended to charge LiFePO4 batteries with conventional lead-acid battery chargers. There are three reliable ways to charge: solar panels, LiFePO4 battery charger and generator.
