\"LiTime<\/a><\/div>\n

NEW YORK –<\/strong> Lithium batteries don’t like the cold. When temperatures drop below freezing, most lithium batteries stop charging to protect their internal cells — a long-standing challenge for RV owners, off-grid solar users, outdoor explorers, and ice fishing enthusiasts operating in winter conditions.<\/p>\n

LiTime, an innovator in LiFePO4 energy storage systems, says it has developed a way around that limitation.<\/p>\n

The company has unveiled LiHeat™<\/a>, a patented dual-mode self-heating technology<\/strong> designed to help lithium batteries reach safe charging temperatures faster and operate more reliably in freezing environments.<\/p>\n

From Passive Heating to Intelligent Thermal Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional self-heating lithium battery designs typically rely on a single heating method known as plug-in heating<\/strong>, where an external charger powers the heating element until the battery reaches a safe charging temperature.<\/p>\n

LiHeat™ adds a second capability: self-powered heating<\/strong>. In cold environments, the battery can use its own stored energy to warm the cells before connecting to an external charger. As a result, charging can begin immediately once the charger is connected, instead of waiting for the battery to heat up.<\/p>\n

The system also supports automatic mode switching. If self-heating alone cannot bring the battery to the required temperature, LiHeat™ automatically transitions to plug-in heating, using external power to continue warming the cells until safe charging conditions are reached.<\/p>\n

Together, these two modes transform conventional heating from a passive process into a more intelligent and flexible thermal management system — particularly for cold-weather lithium battery applications.<\/p>\n

\"Dual-Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pre-Heating Before Charging Saves Time — and Solar Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the LiTime Bluetooth app<\/a>, users can remotely activate the self-heating function when ambient temperatures are above -20°C<\/strong> and the battery’s state of charge is above 20%<\/strong>. This allows the battery to warm up in advance, enabling charging to start immediately once a power source is connected.<\/p>\n

The feature can be particularly valuable in winter solar applications. On cold mornings when solar panels begin generating power, batteries equipped with LiHeat™ can reach a chargeable state faster, helping ensure that solar energy is captured instead of lost due to temperature restrictions.<\/p>\n

Expanding Across LiTime’s Product Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

LiTime has begun integrating LiHeat™ technology into several lithium battery models in its self-heating battery lineup<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n

l 12V 100Ah Group24 Self-Heating Battery<\/p>\n

l 12V 165Ah Self-Heating Battery<\/p>\n

l 12V 320Ah Mini Self-Heating Battery<\/a><\/p>\n

l 24V 230Ah Self-Heating Battery<\/p>\n

These products are ideal for cold-weather uses such as winter RV camping, off-grid solar systems, ice fishing gear, and outdoor expeditions in extreme conditions, delivering reliable power in low temperatures.<\/p>\n

The company says additional LiHeat™ batteries with more voltage and capacity options are planned. All models include Bluetooth-enabled BMS systems that allow users to monitor temperature, adjust heating modes, and manage battery settings through the LiTime app.<\/p>\n

\"Explore<\/p>\n

As energy storage systems increasingly move into outdoor, high-latitude, and extreme-climate applications, the demand for batteries for cold-weather operation continues to grow.<\/p>\n

LiTime<\/a> says LiHeat™ represents a step forward in battery thermal management, designed to deliver dependable charging and stable performance even in sub-zero environments.<\/p>\n
