LiTime 12V 100ah Smart ComFlex Battery with Bluetooth & Victron Communication KK6USY Ham Radio Adventures 2025-09-18 | In this video I discuss the LiTime 12v 100an ComFlex Battery.The LiTime 12 V 100 Ah Smart ComFlex LiFePO₄ battery is built with a rugged, EV-grade 100A BMS (Battery Management System), Bluetooth monitoring, and supports both CAN & RS-485 communications for seamless Victron integration. It includes low-temperature protection (charging disabled below ~0°C/32°F), an IP65 waterproof rated, locking communication port for harsh environment durability, and is scalable: up to 16 units can be paralleled when communication is used (to ~20.48 kWh) without compromising synchronization. Its advanced LiTime 5.0 BMS gives 20+ protection features (over-charge, over-discharge, thermal, moisture, overload with auto-recovery, etc.), and the battery cell cycle life is rated at ~4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, increasing to thousands more at lower depths of discharge. Real-time data (SOC, voltage, temperature, etc.) is accessible via Bluetooth or via Victron’s tools (VRM, VictronConnect), enabling smarter charge/discharge decisions, better safety, and longer lifespan.As an Affiliate I may earn a commission at no cost to the customer.litime.com/products/12v-100ah-smart-comflex-battery/?ref=KUSY10% off for LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery：KUSY106% discount sitewide：KUSY6LiTime is giving away a grand prize of $20,000：litime.com/pages/go-electric-contest#LiTimebattery, #offgrid , #solar ,
