Summary

5.9 kWh heated in one case, capped at 300 A

What it is: a 12.8 V, 460 Ah heated LiFePO4 battery with Bluetooth for RV and van house banks
The trade-off: big capacity and cold charging in one case, but 300 A caps continuous draw well under 1C
In the box: the battery, two M8 terminal bolts, two caps and a manual
Not checked: the depth of discharge and end point behind the cycle rating
Look elsewhere for: closed-loop inverter communication or more than 300 A continuous

Strengths

Large capacity in one battery
Built-in heater for cold charging
Bluetooth app monitoring built in
Sealed metal case
Series and parallel expansion
