I bought two of these batteries a year ago, and they have been in storage, waiting for my solar system to be built. I pulled him out of storage during the holidays to use them and they are bricks. I can't get them to charge up. I'm getting very little customer support from Litime, who advertises on their battery, that they have 24 hour customer support.
When I use a 12V 20A LifePo4 battery charger it stays in standby mode. When I connect directly to solar or through a charge controller it doesn't wake up the BMS. When I try to use a 12V, 40amp, Litime battery charger the numbers on the digital display bounce around. Same result with the multimeter while charging.
It takes a day or 2 to get a response from the manufacturer, and then they give me a task or a test to perform. And then I have to wait another day or 2 get around response.
Nothing they have given me has worked. Perhaps this forum is more valuable, then their customer service.
