Anyone have experience with the Aolithium LiFePO4 Battery 100Ah 12V Lithium Battery being field tested for low cold temp?

Aolithium LiFePO4 Battery 100Ah 12V Lithium Battery with Bluetooth APP 4000 Cycles Rechargeable Battery with Built-in BMS Perfect for RV Solar Marine UPS Off-Grid Applicatins. Curious if anyone has tested this battery. It says low cold temp - but I am not sold at the $600 price range. Thoughts?
 
This battery has been tested by LithiumSolar YT Channel, and by Andy from Off-Grid-Garage.
They both show low temp is working (although Andy shows that the app doesn't show the low temp, but it maybe just a software bug).




In my opinion, it seems like a nice well built battery, but as both reviews show, you can't really replace the cells (laser welded) , so it's not 100% user serviceable, like they advertised.
Also note that the max discharge is 100A, not 200A like they initially said.
Will also reviewed this battery:



But if I recall correctly, he did the 200A discharge test before AoLithium fixed the rating to 100A.

LithiumSolar and Will Prowse's reviews are very professional and careful. Aolithium's batteries are very good from the cells to the BMS! The Bluetooth app is very convenient to check the battery capacity while traveling. I trust both of their reviews and recommendations !
 
What’s swayed me away from these otherwise nice batteries are the deep set terminals. I’ve read that large cable lugs struggle to fit. And if you’re not using bus bars, you probably can’t fit all your connections. A poor design to an otherwise nice looking battery.

They’ve come out with a newer model that fixes the issue, but they’re over a $100 more just for an issue that should’ve been fixed to begin with.
 
The pictures of the base model on Amazon show the deep set terminals but on the Aolithium website the pictures show them flush with the top of the case just like the S model. So maybe they corrected this issue?

What swayed me away is that they don’t make a 200Ah model!

You know, you’re right. The base model does look fixed now. That might be enough to sway me. I’ll email them and confirm.
 
Did anyone test the other Aolithium LiFePO4 Battery 100Ah 12V?
The dark version with no BT ?
