LiTime 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Dimensions

Does anyone have/use exactly this battery?

If so I would be interested in knowing the exact length including the plastic handles (or rather, the strips through which the carrying ropes are threaded). The LiTime website is not clear and the battery will prove a tight fit so need to know this total, all in, measurement for the length.

Thanks for any help!

I have three of them with the "plus" bms. I'll be on the boat in a few days, will measure then.

You need a 21” length to include the tabs for the handles.

The tabs aren’t essential. You could cut them off. The batteries are light and you could devise plenty of other ways to lift them.

9” vertical clearance with the terminal bolts in place.

So far so good then. 21" would be 53.3cm including the tabs, my box is 54cm. Worst case I indeed take a small saw to the tabs...

Thanks, also in advance to flightlead404 for double checking!

Ok, you will easily make it as I rounded up a couple 10ths of an inch also. Just to be sure.

They will fit in your box with the tabs for the handles.

I just bought a LiTime 100 ahr battery, and I was surprised by its dimensions. I thought "drop in" meant it would fit in the standard group 24 or 27 battery boxes.

Confirm 21” x 7 7/8” x 9 3/4” with mrbf

Handles add maybe 1/2” total or a little less if you dremel them off
