SAN FRANCISCO – LiTime announced the release of its new LiHeat 12V 320Ah ComFlex LiFePO4 Battery, designed to connect directly with compatible RV and marine power systems, according to a press release. Built on the company’s T5.0 intelligent communication platform, the new battery features CAN and RS485 communication ports and supports RV-C and NMEA 2000 communication, as well as integration with compatible Victron systems.
Through these connections, the battery can share operating data with compatible onboard control and energy-management systems, allowing users to view battery status through existing compatible displays instead of relying solely on a standalone app or battery monitor.
As RVs become increasingly electrified and connected, onboard power is moving beyond collections of independent devices toward systems that can share data and work together. Capacity, output and cycle life of an RV lithium battery remain fundamental, but system connectivity is becoming an increasingly important part of battery management. Designed for this shift, the 320Ah ComFlex battery combines 4.096kWh of energy storage with system communication, smart battery management and multi-battery expandability in a compact footprint.
Beyond App Monitoring: Bringing Battery Data Into the Power System
Bluetooth monitoring gives users direct visibility into the battery through the LiTime app, including state of charge (SOC), voltage, current and other operating parameters. LiTime’s T5.0 intelligent communication technology extends that visibility beyond the app by allowing battery data to be shared through CAN and RS485 interfaces with compatible external energy systems.
For users with Victron energy systems, T5.0 supports real-time BMS data exchange with compatible Victron Cerbo GX devices, providing access to more than 25 battery parameters, including SOC, voltage, temperature, charge and discharge current limits, maximum charge voltage and individual cell status.
Using this real-time battery data, compatible systems can dynamically adjust charging current and other charging parameters for more responsive charge control and battery protection, helping extend battery life.
The new battery also supports the RV-C communication standard, a CAN-based protocol designed for onboard RV devices. In compatible RV-C networks, the battery BMS can provide SOC, voltage, temperature and warning information directly to the vehicle’s control system, allowing users to view battery status through existing compatible RV control panels or onboard displays without relying on a separate battery monitor.
Support for NMEA 2000 extends similar system-level communication capabilities to compatible marine electronics networks.
Together, these communication options allow battery information to become part of the broader RV or marine system rather than remain isolated within a standalone battery monitor.
Operating History, OTA Updates and SOC Reserve
Beyond system communication, the new battery adds several features designed to give users greater visibility and control over battery operation.
In addition to real-time status monitoring, the battery provides nearly 30 days of operating history and stores up to 300 event records. Users can review changes in battery behavior over time, identify when and under what conditions protection mechanisms were triggered or unusual events occurred and use that information to support troubleshooting and day-to-day energy management.
