David Landers (N1DVM) asked me a wise and a very valid question “... what is better about this battery vs some of the ones touted a lot that are ~30% cheaper? PowerQueen, Miady, etc.”.

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify why I believe the AOLithium 100aH BlueTooth LiFePO4 battery is a high quality product.?

?

First, it took me many years before I became a believer in the old adage that "Ya usually git whatcha pay fer!" and I ceased making my product purchase decisions based on price alone many years ago.? So far, I have never regretted paying a higher price for a higher quality product.? That doesn’t mean I don’t buy cheap stuff from time to time, but only when it meets the need.

?

I haven’t purchased a 100aH Power Queen or a 100aH Miady LiFePO4 battery so I have no personal experience with those brands; they may or may not be worth that lower price.? I have heard from a Ham that his 200aH Power Queen LiFePO4 batteries work well for his solar system.? So far, the four AOLithium 100aH BlueTooth batteries I purchased periodically over the past three years have always performed very well for my needs.

?

What I found "better" about the AOLithium LiFePO4 battery (beyond the obvious BlueTooth capability) is based on multiple reviews done by two different guys who produced YouTube videos regarding how they tested the product, took it apart and evaluated how well it was manufactured.

The first video was done by Will Prowse -

If you have never heard of Will Prowse and you would like to learn about off-grid solar systems, check out Will’s YouTube Channel -

Here is the link to the 2nd video review of the AOLithium 100aH Bluetooth battery -

And the link to his follow-up update stating that the Continuous 200A Discharge originally stated for this battery is actually only 3 Minutes -

?

Hopefully this answers the question and is additionally useful information.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm not super knowledgeable about lifepo4... what is better about this battery vs some of the ones touted a lot that are ~30% cheaper? PowerQueen, Miady, etc.

If you are interested in buying a high quality 100aH LiFePO4 lithium battery, AOLithium has not only reduced their regular price from $583.99 to $349.00 but they are also currently running a short, 3-Day sale offering an additional 3% off of that price (free shipping).

This AOLithium 100aH battery is the model I use for Field Day events. -

?

Don’t forget to also order a charger for it if you don’t already have a LiFePO4 battery charger – This is also on sale ($49.99 – 3%)

?

AoLithium also sells a 100aH LiFePO4 battery without Blue Tooth that is on sale for $199.00 but they are currently sold out -

?

And no, I don’t have any monetary association with AOLithium.
