Features

Cold Weather Ready

Safely charges in freezing climates (-20°C or -4°F). With a robust system that draws power from the charger itself, LT models do not require additional components – such as a heated blanket – to bring the battery to a safe temperature for charging.

Maintenance Free

Plug, play, and charge. No watering, no corrosion.

Long Life

RELiON lithium batteries provide up to 10 times longer life than lead-acid batteries, and they still provide 80% of the rated capacity after 3,500 cycles.

Fast Charging

RELiON lithium batteries charge much faster than traditional lead-acid batteries, and they’re packed with more usable energy and up to 10 times longer life so you’re always ready to go!

Partial State of Charge Tolerant

Partial charging does not affect performance quality or battery life. A low self-discharge rate means worry-free storage so even occasional users can be assured of reliable performance.

Constant Power

Full power available throughout discharge. Voltage does not drop like lead-acid.

Eco-Friendly & Safe

RELiON lithium batteries are the ultimate clean energy. No gassing, no fumes, and no pollution. Enjoy reliable power, while protecting the environment, using these non-hazardous batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

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).
How does the RB20-LT battery work?
The RB20-LT features the same size and performance as RELiON's RB20, 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.
