Best boat battery purchase one can make
Arrived on date promised and packaged very well. All parts provided. The battery specs and price make this an attractive purchase for my trolling motor. I'll update this rating once I put Battery to use. The low weight along with the rated 4000 charge cycles and rated 100% discharge capacity are amazing. Happy to see LiFePO4 battery price drop down to AGM pricing.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/13/2023Very satisfied. Thanks, Walmart!I bought this 12V, 100AH battery to run the 30LB thrust trolling motor on my small aluminum jon boat. It is less than half the weight of the 125AH lead acid battery it replaced, {YAY!!), but it actually has even more stored energy. This is because Lead Acid batteries can only discharge to 50% without causing permanent damage to the battery, but LiFePO4's can go as low as 100% without permanent damage, though it is best not to go below 80%. You will not have to worry about this however, as fortunately, the CHINS battery has "smart" circuitry, and will cut itself off before it gets low enough to potentially cause harm to the battery. This is another advantage over the lead acid ones, which will run till they die, definitely causing poor performance afterwards and a much shorter lifespan. Walmart beat everyone's price on this battery too. As a matter of fact, they beat everyone's price on this particular type and size of battery period. I couldn't find another 100AH LiFePO4 battery anywhere that was even close to Walmart's price on this one at the time I purchased it. And I know I can trust Walmart, so buying it was a no-brainer decision. CHINS is a big player in the LiFePO4 game too, with a good reputation. However, there seems to be some debate as to whether "recent" CHINS 12V LiFePO4 100AH batteries are of the same high quality as earlier ones, with a few owners claiming theirs didn't live up to the 100 Amp Hour claim. {By the way, Amp Hours are the electric equivalent to the gas tank on a gasoline engine, and are indicative of the amount of stored energy. So more AH means a larger fuel tank and more "range" between charges or fill-ups.) I fully charged and load tested mine the day it came, and I am happy to report that it provided 105.61 Amp Hours. That's well above the claimed capacity of 100.00, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks, CHINS and Walmart!Arsee

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser04/22/2023Good value for the money.These are basic 12V 100Ah LFP batteries, without built-in heaters, bluetooth app support, low temperature charging disable, etc. They are full sized unlike some of the newer ones, but size isn't a priority for me. This is a good bang for the buck. They all require charging, maybe 50% capacity and I drained one with a test load at 30W (pretty slow, took more than 30 hours) down to 12V delivering 96Ah. So, capacity is as advertised. Came well packaged and included nice instructions. Includes 8mm screw terminals and terminal covers.Geoffrey

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/16/2023So far so goodI placed my order on March 14th. Chins sent me an email detailing the battery issue, just a friendly reminder.the delivery date is March 21, Very conservative, because FEDX sent the battery on the 16th! Chins has facilities in California, not far from where I live. The battery is fully charged, and I am currently cycling through my charging controller and inverter. The good play will come later.Fimmyray

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/23/2022LifePo4 batterySo far, they have worked very well, which is a huge upgrade compared with the 180AH AGM battery I used before. I don't even want to save electricity now. Its value is incomparable. Four such devices are installed in parallel on my trailer to obtain 400AH power. Before parallel connection as suggested, I charge them separately. I also installed a Victron temperature sensor, so that my solar array will not charge the battery when it is below freezing point.Tyler

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/16/2022time will tellIt is cheap, reliable and cost-effective. One has been for a year, no problem. I just bought another one because the quality is higher than the price. Very satisfied. I only remember that this version has no low-temperature disconnection function, but in terms of my use and price, I will ensure that it is in a high-temperature state before replacement.Samuel Sturgill

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/17/2022work and hadno issue yetSo far, I have tested it with a small refrigerator. I have charged it to 13.60 volts at 100%. Then I let the small refrigerator run alone all night. About 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. until the sun rises (about 16 hours). It has run out of 12.90 volts. Its rated power is 75 watts, but sometimes it will run at 55 to 60 watts until the refrigerator cools down, then it will shut down and restart. What I want to say is that it consumes 100 amperes of 12 volts from two batteries, and 1060 watts of electricity throughout the night, which is enough to maintain food cooling. Of course, as long as CHINS keeps the same price, I really intend to expand to more batteries. The 12V voltage of 100AH of each battery is about 1200 watts. Subtracting all components, all additional energy will be about 1100 watts.ken f chan

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/14/2022Excellent so farI bought two batteries to power a 65 lb 50 amp trolling motor. The other is a deep cycle 100 ah Super Start marine battery that weighs more than twice as much as the CHINS. The lighter CHINS LiPo battery beats the Super Start in power and longevity. i've used it several times and it still works great. I really like how light it is. Just make sure you have at least a 10 amp LiPo charger to charge it and make sure you fully charge it between uses. With a 10 amp charger, it takes 10 hours to charge a depleted battery. This will allow you to charge overnight. I started with a 2 amp charger and it took me 50 hours. the customer service from CHINS was excellent. Check out the YouTube video on this battery. Awesome.Will
