The SOK SK12V100H is a 12.8 V, 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery storing 1,280 Wh, with a built-in heater pad and Bluetooth monitoring through the ABC-BMS app.
SOK's spec sheet, shared with the unheated SK12V100, gives a 100 A maximum continuous discharge, a 170 A peak for 4 seconds and a 10.4 V recommended low-voltage disconnect. It takes up to 70 A of charge current, 20 A recommended, at 14.4 to 14.6 V.
The product page instead lists 170 A continuous and a 200 A peak for 3 seconds. The heater pad lets it charge down to -4 °F, and SOK's H Series sheet says charging resumes once the cells reach 5 °C. It measures 10.6 x 7.9 x 7.9 in in a black painted metal case rated IP50, with M8 terminals (5/16 in lugs).
It weighs about 30 lb by the spec sheet and 27 lb by the product page. The cover is detachable and the BMS and cells are replaceable. Up to 4 units run in series with a battery voltage balancer, and up to 10 in parallel.
SOK's page prints 4,000 to 8,000 cycles and its manual rates 4,000 cycles at 80 percent depth of discharge. SOK's warranty is 7 years.
