Canbat Cold Weather Lithium Advantage
Several battery manufacturers offer 12V cold-weather lithium batteries, but what sets Canbat apart is the proprietary technology behind its advanced heating system. Canbat cold-weather lithium batteries are equipped with a powerful internal heater that draws power directly from the charger, not the battery, preserving the battery’s charge and maximizing its cycle life.
Unlike other heated batteries, Canbat’s heating system is fully automatic. The built-in heater activates during charging when temperatures drop below 0°C and deactivates when no longer needed, ensuring a seamless charging experience. There are no jumper cables to connect, buttons to press, or manual steps required—the battery automatically maintains optimal cell temperature for efficient operation in sub-zero conditions.
Notably, Canbat is the first company in Canada to design and offer heated lithium batteries, setting a new standard for reliable performance in cold climates.

I bought 4 of these 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries for my cabin and they’re amazing. It gets really cold up here in northern Alberta and the batteries literally don’t care. Truly outstanding Canadian quality. My wife and I are very happy with our purchase and we definitely recommend it to everyone living in the cold parts of Canada.

I have tested two CLI100-12LT batteries in my Westfalia during a 5,000 kilometre trip and they have performed better than stated and expected. I no longer have to hear my wife complain about not having enough DC power to enjoy our off-grid stopovers. We can literally travel anywhere across Canada without worrying about whether we’ll make it to the next morning. Our load in our motorhome includes the refrigerator and furnace. We also have a few smaller electronics running like the TV and laptop charging. These LiFePO4 batteries are Pricey upfront no doubt, but over the long-term, these batteries are worth every penny for our off-grid power supply peace of mind. Lithium is known to be more economical than its lead-acid batteries considering the difference in the cycle life. Overall, I’m very satisfied with these lithium batteries, and I would recommend them to anyone who may camp in sub-freezing weather, which they handle perfectly. Kudos to Canbat for their lithium innovations.

Bought 4 of these 100Ah lithium batteries for my Navion 24J Sprinter. Quality is amazing. The price is competitive. Free shipping. 10 years warranty. There is nothing else anyone would ask for.
Steve M. –
I was born and raised in London, Ontario. Extreme cold weather is nothing new to me. My girlfriend and I live far from the city and we’ve always faced issues accessing reliable power, especially in the winter. Our house is not connected to the grid. Well, there is no grid where we are anyway. We have an off-grid solar system and every winter we suffer. Batteries just don’t work well in the cold. We came across these Canbat low temp lithium cells and gave them a go. Since then, we have never felt cold again. The batteries are up and running year-round keeping themselves and everyone else warm.

I recently ordered a 100AH low temperature w/ Bluetooth. Shipping to the US was fast, free, and without problems. The current exchange rate is favorable too (prices are in CAD). I’ve tested 2 full cycles to 100AH with a test meter at 20 amps and the voltage was still 12.35 at 100AH under the 20A load with a 72F battery temperature. Obviously there is a bit more than 100 AH available — Very nice to see this. Charging showed 100.6 AH back in, which is about 99.4% efficiency. The Bluetooth phone app worked great, and displays the percent capacity remaining, voltage, amps, and even the cell voltages. I already had a Victron 712 battery monitor in the camp trailer, and if I’d bought this Bluetooth battery first I’d skip the 712 because the Canbat Bluetooth does almost everything the 712 does.

The battery was delivered promptly even to Northern BC. Great packaging and a few surprise bling items as well. The bluetooth module and related software is great to know what is going on with the battery. I have used the battery just barely but will be camping with it shortly and give it a good work out.
