Battle Born Lithium Ion 12 Volt Batteries in an Oliver?


Recommended Posts

It appears that the two LiTime 230Ah batteries fit nicely in the Oliver battery tray.  It also appears that 460 Ah of LiTime batteries (230x2) can be purchased for about $1400 ($700x2).  This is less than 1/3 the price of 390 Ah of Lithionics batteries (130Ah x 3), at about $1450 each ($1450x3=$4350), which comprise the Lithium Pro Package included with our Elite II.

I am interested in the long-term performance of the LiTime batteries, in case I have to ever replace our LIthionics batteries.  3x the price is quite a premium to pay for Lithionics "Assembled in the USA using domestic & imported components" vs.LiTime's "Made in China."  Our Lithionics G31 batteries all have a sticker that reads:  "County of Origin LIthium+Case CHINA."

These batteries have a good reputation and come with a 5-year warranty. Can’t beat the price, mine came in at $1364, tax included, no shipping. I also bought the LiTime 100Ah ‘mini’ to replace a problematic Renogy battery in a portable power station, also made in China. Just know that these batteries do not have built-in heaters, which makes them less expensive; however not a concern living in the deep South. Of course there are other ways to heat batteries, if need be. Only time will tell regarding longevity of these LiTime batteries, but I am pleased with their performance thus far!

I realize that it is a little late to jump in here with this information.

The title of this thread is: Battle Born Lithium Ion 12 Volt Batteries in an Oliver?

The Lithium Batteries that are optional on the new Oliver's and the Battle Born replacements are Lithium Iron Phosphate not Lithium Ion.

There are some big differences in the two technologies and I'll not try to explain them here. Google Lithium Iron Phosphate vs Lithium Ion for in-depth information.

Just an FYI, Carry On...
