4.9 out of 10

It stores 1,280 Wh, the typical size for a 12 V battery, so it scores 5 on capacity.

At 23.32 lb on Power Queen's spec table it holds 54.9 Wh per pound, so it scores 6 on efficiency.

Power Queen rates its BMS at 100 A maximum continuous discharge, 1.0C on 100 Ah, with 280 A for five seconds in its manual, so it scores 5 on operating range.

Power Queen rates it for 4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, 6,000 at 80% and 15,000 at 60%, with no end-of-life capacity in its spec table or manual, so the 4,000 is scored and taken one rung down for the missing end point, and it scores 6 on lifespan.

It warms its cells from as low as -4°F (-20°C) when a charger supplies at least 10 A, carries an IP65 rating and allows four in series and four in parallel, but has no Bluetooth and no CAN or RS485 port, so it scores 6 on features.

The self-heating model EA-114A14C-0D is not among the five Power Queen 12 V 100 Ah codes Intertek lists to UL 1973, no other certifier directory (UL Product iQ, LabTest, TÜV SÜD or the CEC battery list) lists it, and its page names only FCC, CE, RoHS and UN38.3, so it scores 2 on verification.

Power Queen's warranty policy gives its 12 V batteries of 20 Ah and up 5 years, with no proration stated, so it scores 6 on warranty and support.

Reddit owners report mixed results with Power Queen batteries. An r/overlanding owner said a 100 Ah stopped holding a charge after 15 months of light use and that Power Queen, though responsive, would not honor the warranty (2024), an r/batteries owner of a 12.8 V 100 Ah bought as a CPAP backup found its BMS tripped on a general-purpose lithium charger, with Power Queen pointing to its own 20 A charger (2024), and an r/SolarDIY owner of a 25.6 V 50 Ah said it arrived with the BMS shut off and had to be jump-started before its Bluetooth showed 99 percent charge (December 2024), while an r/LiFePO4 commenter called Power Queen decent for a trolling motor (2025).

Lithium Solar, with affiliate links and no statement of how it got the battery, capacity-tested, opened and cold-tested the 12 V 100 Ah auto-heated model, found its BMS behaved well, and advised buying the non-heated version, then $144 cheaper, unless the built-in heater is needed (November 2022, about 24,500 views).
