NERMAK 12V 10Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery, 2000+ Cycles Rechargeable Battery for Solar/Wind Power, Lighting, Power Wheels, Ride-on Toy, Fish Finder and More, Built-in 10A BMS

So far so good. This is the second battery I buy from this vendor, and after observing good performance over a year or so, I felt compelled to write a review. The first battery was used for a kids ride on jeep running at 12V. This second battery was to upgrade that same ride on toy to 24V by connecting to the older battery in series. It seems the overcharge, overvoltage, and fault protection in the BMS circuit actually works. We have done all of the above and it still works. I didn't do a formal leakage test, but I know for a fact that it holds charge well over decently long periods of time and cold weather. As long as they don't change their process and material, it's totally good value for your money.

Update 4 days later, 10/11/2024 Well...this did not work out. The battery arrived and was installed on Monday, just before Hurricane Milton struck Wednesday night. After a1/2 second test crank (which was fine), the battery was connected to a new LiFePo4 battery charger designed for this battery chemistry. The charger itself may be suspect, as the battery would not accept a charge. The charger displayed a fault mode after a few hours. I then connected it to a known good charger. After a charge of several hours at 2amps, the charger had to be disconnected as we prepped for the storm. A quick check on Tuesday (the next day) found that the generator would not start. Did not have time to do diagnostics with the storm coming. Had to pull-start the generator after we lost power Wednesday evening. Did diagnostics today, Friday 10/11. No problem with the starter motor, as it started immediately with my portable jumper pack. The Nermark battery showed less than 10V on my DVM. Both chargers displayed a battery fault, and were unable to charge the battery above 10.3V. It's possible there was an issue with the built-in BMS (Battery Management System), but I don't know. It's getting returned once Whole Foods is open again. Original Review 10/7/2024 Very simple installation to remove the old sealed lead acid 12-18 battery and replace it with this one. I have been using LiFePo4 batteries in my RC aircraft for over 20 years and I'm glad that this battery is available to replace the typical unreliable lead acid battery that is used as a starter in portable equipment. I took the opportunity to install the terminal rings and cable for the appropriate 3 amp charger and even without completing the charge, did a quick test start on my generator. I hope it will last several years, as this generator is only used for hurricane emergencies. However, I have batteries of this chemistry that are over 20 years old and still hold 80% or more of their charge. I will report back and update this review in the event that there are any failures, or possibly great news to continue to report years from now.

Perfect Deer Feeder Batteries and Great for Solar panel boxes. Keeps cameras going for months and Light weight!

So ive been using these for about 3 years in some UPS units. Been working fine for the most part but it seems like the non-digital UPS units like the ones that sit on the floor will overload these batteries and cause damage to the BMS or something. I had 2 batteries die, one the voltage just dipped down to 2.3v and another the BMS got so hit it was melting the plastic on top and triggering a cut off. I brought up my issues to nermak on amazon and they shipped out 2 replacements immediately, got them a few days later. Very quick response and zero hassle, which is what all manufacturers/sellers should do. Using these in digitally controlled UPS units like 1000va+ (basically the towers) seem to have no issues over long periods, but APC doesnt recognize the chemistry difference at all and wont fully use the whole capacity of the battery. So im just gonna put all these into a batbox with a inverter and put the lead acids back in. Over all good battery, and good support. Im sure with everything working correctly these will last many years. I think i just got a couple duds lol.

I tried to go cheap with another pair of batteries for my electric scooter. After two months or so, they would last maybe half the day. I bought these NERMAK batteries to replace those, charged them over the weekend and they are still going strong! Love 'em! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay, quick update. I've had these batteries for a month. I really liked their performance initially. However, I was tooling around in Lowes Depot in my mobility scooter and my scooter just dies! No lights on the panel at all. I checked the battery connections in the battery box and they were fine. That was my first suspicion. Good thing I kept my old, lead-based batteries that these replaced. I put those back in the battery box and everything fired right up. There is clearly an issue with these batteries. There is no obvious problem with the batteries, no marred area, burn marks, etc. Again, I've had these batteries just long enough that I will be unable to return them. Another issue that I have is that I just ordered another set of batteries for a different scooter - I've got a fleet of them. I haven't installed the latest set yet. I should probably start the return process now.

Just a few days into owning this battery, and so far, so good! It’s a perfect match for my UPS 550 (model B0019804U8—the same trusty unit I purchased years ago). Compatibility Check: The UPS recognizes and charges the battery without a hiccup. System Integration: The data cable accurately reads the battery's charge capacity—no issues there. Performance Under Load: The UPS does its thing like a champ, seamlessly drawing power from the battery without errors. Now, onto the one thing I can’t tell you yet: whether this 10Ah battery offers longer run times compared to the 7Ah OEM version. Honestly, I’ve never paid much attention to runtime—I just configure the system to keep my home server running until it gracefully shuts down. (It’s tucked away in a basement closet, doing its thing.) For comparison, I have another UPS 550 with a 6+ year-old OEM battery, but let’s be real—it’s way past its prime and totally untrustworthy for runtime comparisons. The Bottom Line: If you’re looking to save some cash on a battery replacement, this one is a solid option. It’s significantly cheaper than the APC-branded OEM battery and only slightly pricier than the absolute bargain options. That said, I’d think twice about going for the cheapest of the cheap—after all, this is a battery we’re talking about. You don’t want something leaking, exploding, or catching fire! Even if it’s not a “true” 10Ah battery (who really knows?), it’s doing a great job in my book so far.

Update 1/20/2026 I am raising my product review to 5 Stars because of excellent Customer Service. The seller reached out to me and offered a replacement or full refund. I purchased an Eco-Worthy battery right before I returned this one, except a 30Ah instead of a 20Ah. I assembled a whole Brand New system around it and the Eco-worthy lasted exactly Three Days and did the exact same thing. These batteries are leaving the factory with unbalanced cells, the lowest voltage cell is going to pull the others down and instant BMS chip failure. Now I have to return the Eco-Worthy battery. All my old SLA batteries are old and need replacing so this is about the only way to go. You NEVER want to buy used or Bin store or reseller batteries ever, This is a great seller and I am going to continue to order from this seller simply because of the excellent customer service. Which for these batteries is something you are going to need or find out the Hard Way. My other NERMAK 20Ah battery is hanging in so far, fingers crossed! Great seller, Highly recommend. I bought one and my wife ordered one on her account. They charged up just fine, I put one in my solar power system with a 150 watt inverter, high end charge controller and 200 watts of solar panels. It ran fine for a few days and we went to the store, came back and the inverter was beeping and the charge controller said zero volts. There was NO reason that battery should have died like that, under full sunlight. I returned it with no issues and I got a full refund very quickly and ordered a different brand of battery. Have not received it yet. I did attempt to recharge the battery on my smart LiFePO4 charger but the charger would not even turn on. This battery definitely has a faulty BMS chip or something. The 2nd battery did the same thing the other day, but I was able to make it come back to life and is holding in there, but now I always turn the inverter off when I leave. If it lasts 6 months I will come back and update this review and give it the proper star rating. But great seller, fast ship, and no problems with the return. Very happy and confident buying off Amazon.

works good used on vexliar pro pack fishing cam and FLX12
