Detachable Cover and Replaceable BMS and Cells
The battery features a convenient detachable cover, enabling easy access to the internal components for maintenance or replacement. Both the Battery Management System (BMS) and individual cells are replaceable, ensuring long-term functionality.
Cycle Life Span and Built-In Smart BMS
Expect exceptional durability from the SOK 12v 100Ah Lithium Battery, as it offers an impressive 4000-8000 cycle life span. It is equipped with a built-in Smart BMS, providing intelligent monitoring and protection to optimize performance and prolong battery life.
User-Serviceable Design and Thick Heat-Sink
Created with user convenience in mind, the SOK 12v 100Ah Lithium Battery features a user-serviceable design, allowing for easy maintenance or component replacement. Additionally, its 5mm thick heat-sink aids in heat dissipation, promoting optimal battery performance.
Comprehensive Protection and Auto Balance
Enjoy peace of mind with the SOK battery’s comprehensive protection against overcharging, discharging, and short circuits, safeguarding both the battery and connected devices. The battery cells auto-balance, ensuring consistent performance and longevity.
High and Low Temperature Disconnects
The battery is equipped with high and low temperature disconnects, adding an extra layer of protection in extreme temperature conditions.
Safety Advantages of the SOK 12v 100Ah Heated Lithium Battery
When it comes to applications where safety is a top concern, manufacturers across industries are turning to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. LiFePO4 batteries are known for their excellent thermal and chemical stability, which makes them the ideal choice for high-risk applications. The LiFePO4 battery remains cool in higher temperatures and is incombustible in the event of rapid charges, discharges, or short circuit issues. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, LiFePO4 batteries do not experience thermal runaway, as the phosphate cathode remains cool and does not burn or explode during overcharging or overheating.
In comparison, the high energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries can cause instability and lead to thermal runaway. When overcharged or overheated, the lithium-ion battery heats up faster and can become a safety hazard.
LiFePO4 batteries offer numerous safety advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries making them the perfect choice for users seeking a safe, reliable, and long-lasting power source for their motorhomes, RVs or off-grid.

FAQ
How do I connect to the Bluetooth?
This battery now features an updated BMS that puts the Bluetooth function into a deep sleep mode when the battery is not in use. The Bluetooth will be enabled once the battery is charging or discharging.
To connect to the SOK Bluetooth battery, search for ABC-BMS on google or apple store and install on your phone. When you open the app, it will automatically connect to whichever battery it finds first. If you have multiple batteries, you can choose which one to connect to by clicking on the top menu and then selecting the battery that has a serial number correlating to the sticker on the top of the battery.
You will notice the SOC and capacity reading, but they are initially incorrect. In order to make them correct, you have to do 2 discharge/charge cycles.
Does this battery have Low-Temperature protection?
Yes! The battery will prevent charging below 0°C in order to protect the cells while continuing to allow discharging. If you need to charge the battery in sub-zero temperatures, we recommend adding a heating pad that can be turned on to warm up the battery prior to charging.
Does this fit into a standard “group size” battery box?
No, these batteries are just a bit too big to fit into your standard battery boxes. Many of our customers have had great luck installing into tool boxes or similar enclosures that provide protection from the elements. The metal-cased batteries are not waterproof. The Plastic 206ah battery can be installed in wet environments such as the tongue of trailers, in which case they fit great with the factory battery boxes removed.
Can I use my old Lead-Acid Charger?
This is not a simple “yes” or “no” question. If your charger has an equalize feature that exceeds 14.6v, then it absolutely cannot be used. The maximum charge current of a SOK Battery is 50 amps, so your total combined charge current may not exceed 50a * [number of parallel batteries]. You must also check the output voltages of the charger throughout a full charge cycle; if they exceed 14.6v they cannot be used. It is optimal to have an absorption voltage of 14.6v and a float voltage of 13.8. The battery isn’t totally picky regarding the float voltage, but we recommend 13.8 for optimal lifespan. If you are limited on parameters, it is best to be on the lower-voltage side – you may sacrifice a bit of capacity, but longevity will increase significantly. Additionally, if your batteries get to a very low SOC, then they can draw more power from your charger than it is designed for leading to nuisance blown fuses & circuit breakers.
Can the battery be installed on its side?
Absolutely! With no acid or venting, this battery can be installed in any configuration except for upside-down (terminals facing down).
Who makes the SOK BMS?
The BMS is custom made by SOK battery, designed by SOK’s in-house engineers and manufactured to their strict quality control standards.

Very cool battery, smart BMS.
Have had a the BMS do low temp cut off a couple of times in -3°/-5° so need to work on an insulation plan. Good but basic app. Nz sales person Justin has been very easy to communicate with as I had lots of questions.
Tidy construction, pleasant appearance and soo much lighter than my 30kg 100ah AGM. Stoked to have joined the lithium crew and with SOK the price was what got me 1st then came all the video reviews only.
Looking forward to giving it a good run over summer with our camp set up, solar, DCDC, lights, fridge, waterpump, Joolca hottap shower.
