A finished 12.8V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery whose smart BMS does two things standard batteries cannot: it shows you every cell over Bluetooth, and it warms the cells automatically so charging can start below freezing.

The Cold Problem This Battery Solves
LiFePO4 cells must not be charged below 0 °C — charging a frozen cell damages it permanently. A standard BMS handles this the blunt way: it simply blocks charging until the weather warms up. The battery is protected, but in a cold RV park, on a winter mooring, or at an off-grid cabin in January, a battery that refuses the morning’s solar charge is a battery you plan your day around.
This battery takes the other route. Heating film is built into the pack, driven by the BMS. When a charger is connected and the cells are below the heating threshold, the BMS powers the heaters from the charger first, warms the cells into the safe charging window, and only then lets charging current flow — automatically, with the low-temperature charge cut-off still standing guard behind it. You see the whole sequence in the app: cell temperatures rising, heating on, then charging under way.
The second half of the design is visibility. The smart BMS (Jiabaida/JBD platform — the same board family we supply as standalone smart BMS boards) carries Bluetooth monitoring as standard: individual cell voltages, pack voltage and current, state of charge, both temperature sensors, cycle count and protection events, readable on a phone at the battery — no shunt, no display panel, no guessing which cell is drifting.

Read the Basis column the way our buyers do: the Bluetooth and heating functions define this series and are standard on every model in it; dimensions, terminal forms and board current class are confirmed in the order specification, because case moulds and board options in this class genuinely vary by programme. Final specifications are those in your order confirmation — not this page.

Every model in the table is the same product idea at a different voltage: Grade A prismatic cells, the JBD-platform smart BMS with Bluetooth, integrated heating, and the full protection set. BMS current class is sized against your inverter and load profile — tell us the largest continuous load and we confirm the class in the quotation rather than defaulting to the biggest board. Case format (sealed ABS or steel), terminal form, and OEM appearance (case colour, your logo and labels, rating plate, manual, packaging) are configuration options on all nine models.
What the Bluetooth Link Actually Tells You
- Per-cell voltages — the earliest warning of imbalance; you see the drifting cell months before it becomes a capacity complaint
- Live charge and discharge current, pack voltage, SOC — what a shunt monitor would tell you, without fitting one
- Both temperature sensors and heating state — whether the pack is heating, at what temperature charging started, and what the coldest cell reads
- Cycle count and protection events — the battery’s own service history, which is what warranty conversations and fleet maintenance actually run on
- Protection parameters — thresholds readable in the app; adjustable items are set per your order specification
For installers and distributors, this is the support feature as much as a user feature: a customer reporting “the battery stopped charging” can read you the protection log and cell temperatures from their phone, and a cold morning with heating under way looks exactly like what it is — not like a fault.
How the Heating Cycle Runs
- Charger connects, cells are cold. The BMS reads the temperature sensors below the heating threshold and holds charging current off.
- Heating starts, powered by the charger. The heating film warms the cell block evenly; the app shows temperatures climbing. No energy is taken from the pack itself in the standard configuration.
- Charging begins inside the safe window. Once cells reach the set temperature, the BMS opens charging and the heaters cycle off; the low-temperature cut-off stays armed the whole time, so a heater fault never becomes a frozen charge.
Heating energy comes out of the charger’s output, not your stored capacity — on a solar morning the first minutes of weak winter sun go to warming, and the day’s charge follows. If your application needs the pack warmed with no charger present, tell us the duty cycle in the inquiry; that is a project configuration, quoted as such, not a silent assumption.
Where This Battery Earns Its Keep
- RV and caravan through cold seasons — house batteries that accept a charge on frosty mornings; see our RV battery page
- Marine in northern waters — house banks on boats that stay in the water over winter; see our marine battery page
- Off-grid homes and cabins — solar storage in unheated plant rooms and mountain sites; see our off-grid energy storage page
- Cold-region solar and backup — anywhere the standard version of this battery spends winter refusing charge; the wider range is on the 12V LiFePO4 battery series page and the 12V LiFePO4 battery range page
If your climate never goes below freezing, buy the standard battery instead — our 12V 100Ah deep-cycle LiFePO4 battery is the same capacity without the heating hardware, and paying for heaters you will never run is poor buying. If you build packs yourself, the same Bluetooth-and-heating board platform is available through our DIY battery kits with a board fitted, or as a standalone smart BMS board.
OEM / ODM: Your Brand, Your Specification
This series is supplied for distributors, outfitters and private-label programmes: case colour, logo and rating labels, manuals and packaging carry your brand; configuration covers BMS current class, case format and terminal form across the nine models. Our role is coordination — requirements are confirmed in a written specification, matched against manufacturing partners’ production, with the agreed checkpoints and export documents handled on our side. The specification in your order document is what binds the shipment. Start from our OEM & ODM coordination page or the OEM / ODM RFQ checklist.
What to Send Us for a Quotation
- Model — 12.8V 100Ah, or another model from the series table
- Your coldest charging condition — the lowest temperature at which the battery must accept charge; this confirms the heating configuration
- Largest continuous load and inverter size — so the BMS current class is sized to the real discharge profile
- Charger or solar controller you will pair it with — heating runs from the charger, so its output matters
- Quantity and destination — samples for evaluation, or your expected regular volume, plus the destination port
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the heating also warm the battery for discharging?
It does not need to: LiFePO4 discharges safely well below 0 °C (with reduced capacity); it is charging that cold forbids. The heating system exists to bring cells into the safe charging window when a charger is connected. If your duty cycle needs warming with no charger present, raise it in the inquiry — that is a project configuration.
What happens if the heater fails on a frozen morning?
The same thing that happens with a standard battery: the BMS low-temperature cut-off keeps charging blocked and the cells stay safe. Heating is layered on top of the protection, never instead of it — a heater fault costs you a charge, never a cell.
Will Bluetooth drain the battery in storage?
The BMS standby draw, Bluetooth included, is small against a 100Ah pack, but it is not zero. For storage measured in months, charge the battery to its storage level and follow the storage instructions in the quotation documents; for a winterised RV, check the app state once in a while — which is rather the point of having it.
Can I drop this in place of two lead-acid batteries?
That is the standard use of the 12V 100Ah size. Two things to confirm rather than assume: your charger’s lithium profile (or its voltage settings), and the physical fit — case dimensions for your configuration are confirmed in the order specification. Tell us the charger model in the inquiry and we flag any mismatch before you order, not after.
Is the 100Ah the only size with Bluetooth and heating?
No — it is the reference model of a nine-model series: 12.8V 200Ah, 12.8V 314Ah, 12.8V 460Ah, 25.6V 100Ah, 25.6V 125Ah and 51.2V 100Ah are in the configuration table above with the same Bluetooth and heating specification. Other capacities can be assessed per project.
