Usability

4.8 out of 10

Capacity3.0

It stores 3,072 Wh, on the 2,500 to 4,999 Wh rung for a 48 V battery, so it scores 3 on capacity.

Efficiency6.0

At 56.09 lb on LiTime's spec table it holds 54.8 Wh per pound, so it scores 6 on efficiency.

Operating Range10.0

LiTime rates its BMS at 120 A continuous, 2.0C on 60 Ah, with a 600 A peak for 1 second, so it scores 10 on operating range.

Lifespan6.0

LiTime's spec table rates it for 4,000 cycles at 100 percent depth of discharge but publishes no end-of-life capacity, one rung down for the missing end point, so it scores 6 on lifespan.

Features3.0

It has a low-temperature charge cut-off at 32°F and an IP65 case, and its RS485 port feeds LiTime's own display rather than an inverter or charger, with no heating, no Bluetooth and parallel-only expansion to eight, so it scores 3 on features.

Verification2.0

No certifier directory lists this model, and LiTime's page and manual name no safety listing, so it scores 2 on verification.

RedditBrand-level6.0 out of 10

Reddit evidence on LiTime's 48 V batteries is one thread. In r/SolarDIY (September 2024) a buyer of the 48V 100Ah server-rack battery hears they have been shown to be good batteries with a good BMS and grade-A cells, and an owner of three reports no problems while noting his units hold 15 cells rather than the usual 16.

YouTubeProduct-line7.0 out of 10

Project Karr, which links LiTime through a referral link and passes on a LiTime discount code, and which LiTime approached after he had bought the battery, ran LiTime's 48V 60Ah golf cart pack in a cart that does about 35 mph, got a little over half the range of his usual 120 Ah pack, which he called what he expected, and called it a lot for the money at about $1,000 (October 2023, about 72,000 views). The golf cart pack shares this battery's 120 A BMS and 3,072 Wh, so it is read at line level.

AmazonProduct-line7.0 out of 10

Amazon marks a newer version available and the listing's reviews include other LiTime 48 V styles, so the figure is read at line level.

Description

The LiTime L51.2V60-120-GC-COM-64-A200 is a 51.2 V, 60 Ah (3,072 Wh) LiFePO4 battery for 48 V electric outboards and small-boat systems, in an ABS case measuring 20.55 x 9.33 x 8.58 in and weighing 56.09 lb, rated IP65, with M8 x 16 mm terminals. Its 120 A BMS delivers 120 A continuous (6,144 W) with a 600 A peak for 1 second and accepts up to 60 A of charge, with 12 A recommended at 57.6 V. It stops charging below 32°F, resumes at 41°F and stops discharging below -4°F; it has no heating. LiTime rates it for 4,000 cycles at 100 percent depth of discharge, 6,000 at 80 percent and 15,000 at 60 percent, without an end-of-life capacity. An RS485 port connects it to LiTime's separately sold RS485 battery monitoring display for state of charge, voltage and current; it has no Bluetooth. An on/off button with an LED ring shows its status, and up to eight connect in parallel (8P1S) for about 24.6 kWh; series connection is not supported.
