1.All of these 12.8V 100Ah batteries have the same nominal voltage, energy, internal resistance, cycle life, charge method, charge voltage and recommend charge current.

2.All batteries are entitled to a 5-year warranty service. During the warranty period, if you have any issues with your battery, please contact service@ipowerqueen.com, and we will actively resolve your problems.

Differences Among The Batteries

1.Dimension & Weight

Each battery has its own size and weight. Among them all, the mini is the smallest and lightest. If you care much about the size about battery, like for trolling motor, mini would be your excellent choice.

2.Low-Temperature Protection

Among these 4 batteries, only smart OTCB and self-heating have the low temperature function. If you reside in regions with long winters, batteries equipped with low-temperature protection functionality might be a more optimal choice for you.

3.Battery Cell

Distinguished from alternative batteries, the mini utilizes pouch LiFePO4 battery cells, as opposed to prismatic LiFePO4 battery cells used by others.

Pouch cells possess flexibility and lightweight properties, rendering them highly suitable for portable uses like mobile devices and power banks. They are commonly employed when spatial constraints and weight considerations are essential factors for the particular application. Pouch cells also exhibit a commendable ability to sustain voltage levels and discharge rates even in colder temperatures.

This distinction contributes significantly to the mini's capacity to achieve a lighter and more compact design.

FAQS about Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah Series LiFePO4 Battery

1. Can I connect classic 12V 100Ah and mini in series or parallel?
