12V Lithium Solar Batteries
​for Beginners

Are you tired of getting scammed by low quality lithium batteries that claim to last forever but die in a few months. Never let that happen again!
Check out my recommendations below. I open every battery on the market and below are my absolute favorites!

My Favorite 12V Battery: Epoch

These are hands down my favorite 12V battery. There are cheaper batteries below, but you cannot beat the features of this battery for the price. This thing should last a few decades without issue!
  • Self Heating: Great for low temperature or outdoor environments
  • Integrated Victron Communication: Using victron? This battery can talk to your whole system!
  • Built in T Class Fuse: Highest disconnect rating around. Need to build a large 12V battery bank? This is the way to go. 
  • Incredible Surge Capacity: Need to run motors or air conditioners? My surge capacity tests for this pack are incredible. the 460Ah model can pull 580A for 37 seconds!!
  • Waterproof Rated: Need a battery for a boat or outdoor setup, look no further. 
  • High Vibration Environment: The internals are bomb proof. Check out my tear down videos. Nothing else on the market compares currently.
  • Comes with a SOC shunt. You can mount it wherever you please. Or you can track SOC with victron communication.
  • Bluetooth BMS: Check the stats of your battery remotely! Common feature, but their app is incredible.

My "Budget" 12V LiFePO4 Battery for 2024

$669 for 12V 230Ah
Click Here to Purchase
I have tested a lot of batteries, and this one blows away the competition. If you want a budget battery that will not give you any problems, this is the way to go!
  • Low Temperature Protection. Every other battery at this price point does not have low temperature cut off. This one does!
  • 200A charge and discharge. This means you can run a 2,500W inverter, or charge with 2500W of solar, into a single battery!
  • EV Grade Battery Cells that are matched by capacity and internal resistance
  • Li Time 12V batteries have incredible surge capacity with their own dedicated BMS. Their trolling motor battery has a better surge than anything I have tested!
  • 2.94kWh for $669 w/ low temp protection is the lowest I have seen for a 12V battery with this build quality. This is cheaper than server rack batteries!
  • Li Time has sold tens of thousands of batteries with very low failure rate. Compare this to more expensive lifepo4 batteries that have BMS failures and other issues. The cell voltage differential on their cells is lower than batteries that cost 2X as much in my testing. 
  • This is their only large form factor 12V battery that has high charge and discharge rating, but also has low temp protection.
So overall, the best bang for your buck 12V battery I can find. Buy a few of these and save a ton of money.

More Budget Battery Options

Li Time sells other models that are even cheaper than the battery above, but they do not have low temp charging protection. If you are in the tropics, or plan to store your batteries indoors, these batteries are a fantastic deal. I suggest most people stick with the battery above, but if you plan to never run your system in freezing temperatures, these are the best deal around and they have many sizes:

LiFePower4 (Budget Model)

$1,449 for 12V 400Ah
Click Here to Purchase
This battery has features that the other batteries on this page do not have, and for around the same cost per Ah:
  • Built in communication system! CAN BUS or RS485
  • Built in DC rated circuit breaker on LL model
  • State of Charge Indicator w/ Internal Shunt
  • Fire arrestor
  • Precharge resistor circuit (no need to use your own resistor)
  • Rated to 7000 cycles w/ DOD of 80%!
I think this is the best option on this page. Highest quality BMS with the best features. And a great warranty by a united states company. The only downside I can see is the reduced output current for the capacity. Most other smaller batteries can output more current compared to this pack. If you size your solar system properly, these batteries output is more than enough. So if you have a special circumstance that requires you to run large loads with a small battery, this one is not for you. But if you are using this for solar, it is perfect.

w/ Low Temperature Protection:
Weize

12V 300Ah for $999

Strange name, but this battery is one of my viewers favorites! It has low temperature protection unlike many of the other budget 12V batteries on amazon.com. I have never had a response to this company though, and have zero experience with their warranty process, but so far everyone loves them! 

Update: I recently ripped open another Weize battery and they changed the internal components. In my opinion, they were lower quality. So as always, you get what you pay for! I still am not hearing any complaints but you never know what youre getting with these cheaper batteries.
