About the LiFePO4 battery

We don't sell standalone lithium batteries directly — yet. We're finalizing product liability insurance for lithium systems with our broker. Until that binds, we recommend you buy from one of these vetted brands:

  • Battle Born — US-made (Reno NV), 10-year warranty, the gold standard. Premium price.
  • LiTime — best value, solid quality, available on Amazon.
  • Renogy — mid-tier reliable, broad availability, often discounted.

These are the same batteries we'd put in our own rigs. When our insurance binds, we'll stock them directly. For now, click through and tell them 4xSolar sent you.
