Q: Can I use Timeusb LiFePO4 Lithium batteries as starting batteries?
Timeusb LiFePO4 batteries are not meant to be used as starting batteries. They are specifically designed for energy storage and lack the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) required for starting applications.For more information, please refer to the article "Deep Cycle VS Starting Battery."
Q: What are the ways to charge Timeusb LiFePO4 Lithium batteries? Can I charge with solar panels?
There are 3 ways to charge Timeusb LiFePO4 lithium batteries:
1. Using Solar Panels
The battery can be fully charged in one day (with effective sunshine 4.5 hrs/day) by 300W solar panels. It may take more than one day to fully charge the battery by ≥300W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.
2. Using Generator or Alternator
The Recommended Charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V.
The Recommended Charging Current:
① 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity.
② 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.
3. Using LiFePO4 Smart Chargers (Recommended)
To charge 12V battery, it is recommended to use 14.6V battery charger.
The Recommended Charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V.
The Recommended Charging Current:
① 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity.
② 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.
Of course you can charge with solar panels.
Q: What is the maximum number of Timeusb 12V 95Ah lithium batteries that can be connected?
The Timeusb 12V battery supports a variety of connections, including series, parallel, and series-parallel configurations. You can connect up to 4 batteries in series (4S), 4 batteries in parallel (4P), or 16 batteries in a series-parallel configuration (4P4S).
