Good First Impression, Reliability Unproven
This 24V lithium battery replaced six 12V AGM batteries in a solar setup that struggled to hold 24V. It arrives well packed and is heavy and large, roughly the size of two standard batteries, and can only be installed horizontally with both terminals on one end. Bluetooth pairing was delayed and range is short, requiring proximity to the battery. The app is basic, showing cartoon indicators for BMS and heating status with few actual numbers. State of charge on arrival was 53%. Voltage stays steady around 25.5–26V while depleting. Setup is simpler and takes less space. Self-heating is expected to help in winter. Reliability remains untested.
- + Well packed
