The RELiON RB100-LT 12V 100Ah Self-Heating LIFEPO4 Lithium Battery from Nomadic Supply Company is specially designed for cold weather performance. The RELiON RB100-LT 12V 100Ah Self-Heating LIFEPO4 Lithium Battery can safely charge at temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F) using a standard charger.
The RELiON RB100-LT 12V 100Ah Self-Heating LIFEPO4 Lithium Battery is an ideal choice for use in RVs, off-grid solar, electric vehicles, and in any application where charging in colder temperatures is necessary. RELiON’s Low-Temperature Series lithium iron phosphate batteries can safely charge at temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F) using a standard charger.
The RELiON RB100-LT 12V 100Ah Self-Heating LIFEPO4 Lithium Battery system features proprietary technology which draws power from the charger itself, requiring no additional components. Now improved protection with an IP67 ingress protection rating, which completely repels dust and resists water ingress for up to 30 minutes submerged at 1 meter. The entire process of heating and charging with the LT Series is completely seamless. Simply plug the battery into the regular lithium charger and the internal heating and monitoring system takes care of the rest. Because it takes time to heat the cells, the charging process in below-freezing temperatures could take a little longer. The Low-Temperature Series battery has the same size and performance as other RELiON batteries but can safely charge when temperatures drop as low as -20°C using a standard charger. The RB100-LT is an ideal choice for use in RVs, off-grid solar, electric vehicles, and in any application where charging in colder temperatures is necessary.

RELiON RB100-LT 12V 100Ah Self-Heating LIFEPO4 Lithium Battery FAQ’s:
Can I connect my LT batteries in series/parallel?
LT batteries may be connected in parallel only. Series connections are NOT allowed.
How can I determine the state of charge (SOC) of my lithium iron phosphate battery?
The best way to determine the SOC of your battery is to use a battery indicator— a high-precision instrument that captures instantaneous and integrated data in real-time. RELiON’s battery indicator uses a 500A shunt to accurately measure the discharge/recharge currents and calculates the Ampere-hours (Ah) flowing in and out of the battery.
How does the RB100-LT (Low Temp) battery work?
The RB100-LT features the same size and performance as RELiON’s RB100, but can safely charge at temperatures that drop below 0°C (32°F) using a standard charger. The system features proprietary technology which draws power from the charger itself, requiring no additional components. The entire process of heating and charging is completely seamless for the user. Simply plug the battery into the regular lithium charger and the internal heating and monitoring system takes care of the rest. Because it takes time to heat the cells, the charging process will take a little longer in below-freezing temperatures.
How do LiFePO4 batteries perform in cold temperatures?
As with all batteries, cold temperatures will result in reduced performance. LiFePO4 batteries have significantly more capacity and voltage retention in the cold when compared to lead-acid batteries. Important tips to keep in mind: When charging lithium iron phosphate batteries below 0°C (32°F), the charge current must be reduced to 0.1C, and below -10°C (14°F) it must be reduced to 0.05C. Failure to reduce the current below-freezing temperatures can cause irreversible damage to your battery. RELiON’s LT Series is specifically designed for cold charging, utilizing charge current to heat the battery before allowing charge. With the LT series, you can start the charge below 0°C (32°F).
