12V / 24V LiFePO4 Starter (Cranking) Battery Series — OEM/ODM for Vehicles, Marine & Equipment
Product Overview
An OEM/ODM series of LiFePO4 engine-starting (cranking) batteries in 12.8V (4S) and 25.6V (8S): drop-in lithium replacements for lead-acid starter batteries in cars, light trucks, boats, generators and equipment. Starter batteries are built for short, very high-current bursts — a different purchase intent from our deep-cycle and house-bank models.
Distributors, marine and automotive aftermarket brands and equipment makers buy these as private-label SKUs in a few capacities. If you need a battery that both starts the engine and runs loads, see the dual-purpose model; for house banks see the 12V series and the RV & marine private-label program.
Appearance, color and logo customizable per customer request.

Specifications
How to read Status — three classes: [Industry reference] = standard reference parameter common to this product class (not an LJY test result). [Optional configuration] = configurable per OEM/ODM project (BMS communication, parallel/series setup, heating, enclosure, logo). [Confirmed per project] = fixed only in the datasheet issued with your quotation. Arithmetic: energy = nominal voltage × Ah.
| Group | Parameter | Value | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical | Voltage class | 12.8V nominal (4S) or 25.6V nominal (8S, 24V class) | [Industry reference] |
| Electrical | Capacity ladder (reference) | 12V: 30 / 60 / 80 / 100Ah · 24V: 60 / 105Ah | [Industry reference] |
| Electrical | Energy check | 12.8V × 100Ah = 1,280Wh · 12.8V × 60Ah = 768Wh · 25.6V × 105Ah = 2,688Wh | [Industry reference] — arithmetic |
| Electrical | Cranking rating (CCA / pulse current) | Public competitor listings quote about 600A (60Ah), 1,000A (100Ah) and 1,200A (80Ah) classes; rating basis and test method differ by supplier, so LJY values are not stated here | [Confirmed per project] |
| Electrical | Continuous charge / discharge | Common market class ~100A charge / ~200A discharge | [Industry reference] · [Confirmed per project] |
| Electrical | Charge voltage | About 14.4–14.6V class per 4S (alternator and charger profile confirmed) | [Industry reference] · [Confirmed per project] |
| BMS | Protections | Over-charge/discharge, over-current, short-circuit, temperature protection, balancing | [Industry reference] |
| BMS | Cranking surge handling | BMS surge current and cut-off behaviour during engine start | [Confirmed per project] |
| BMS | Communication | Bluetooth monitoring; RS485/CAN where required | [Optional configuration] |
| Thermal | Low-temperature behaviour | Charging typically blocked near 0°C; self-heating available on request, to be confirmed per project | [Industry reference] · [Optional configuration] |
| Mechanical | Case format | Optional BCI Group-style or DIN-style formats (to be confirmed against the application and product design); no dimensions stated | [Optional configuration] |
| Mechanical | Terminals / polarity / vent | Top-post, SAE, marine or stud terminals; left/right polarity; sealed case | [Optional configuration] |
| Mechanical | Dimensions / weight / IP rating | Per model and format | [Confirmed per project] |
| Cells | Cell brand / traceability documents | Stated per order; documents on request | [Confirmed per project] |
| Commercial | Certificates / MOQ / lead time / warranty | Per model and order | [Confirmed per project] |
Optional configurations (OEM/ODM)
LJY Energy supplies this model as an OEM/ODM configurable build. The items below are configured per customer project — they are not fixed catalog defaults.
- Capacity and case format: 12V 30–100Ah and 24V 60–105Ah reference; BCI/DIN-style formats as optional case formats.
- Terminals and polarity: per vehicle or vessel.
- Self-heating: available on request for cold-start use.
- Dual-purpose configuration: start + house loads — confirmed per project.
- Bluetooth/communication as an optional BMS configuration.
- Branding: Appearance, color and logo customizable per customer request.
BMS, communication & protection
A starter battery must deliver a large current for a second or two without tripping the BMS, then accept alternator charging. The BMS surge rating, charge-voltage limits and low-temperature behaviour are the decisive project items.
BMS sizing guide
| Load / use case | Suggested BMS rating |
|---|---|
| Gasoline car / small engine | Surge rating matched to engine size; confirm CCA basis |
| Diesel, truck, marine engine | Higher surge and 24V option; confirm alternator voltage |
| Cold-start use | Self-heating or low-temperature charge protection |
Send engine type and displacement, existing battery group size and CCA, alternator or charger voltage, and climate. No CCA value is claimed on this page.
Size, handling & fitment
Lithium starter batteries should be fitted with a charging system whose voltage and regulation are compatible; a lead-acid charging profile (high-voltage equalisation, desulfation) should be disabled or confirmed per project.
Case format, hold-down and terminal position must match the vehicle tray; confirmed against the application and product design.
Applications
- Cars, light trucks and vans (aftermarket)
- Boats and marine engines
- Generators, pumps and agricultural equipment
- Private-label starter battery ranges for distributors
Application limits
- Not a deep-cycle house bank unless configured as dual-purpose.
- CCA ratings are never assumed from competitor listings.
- Cold-start performance below 0°C is confirmed per project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from a deep-cycle battery?
A starter battery is optimised for very high current for a short time; a deep-cycle battery for sustained discharge. Dual-purpose models combine both and are configured per project.
What CCA do your batteries have?
CCA is confirmed per project and test method; we do not copy competitor ratings.
Can a lithium starter battery replace lead-acid directly?
Often, once case format, terminals and charging voltage are confirmed. Disable lead-acid equalisation or desulfation modes.
How is MOQ set?
MOQ is confirmed per project stage (sample, pilot, production).
Which certificates apply?
Scope is confirmed per model, order and target market; none are claimed on this page.
Values marked [To confirm] or [Competitor public] are not LJY-verified defaults. Product images are product renders for illustration. Content as of October 2026.
