*Fair Disclosure* I received the Safari UT batteries free of charge from Lion Energy in exchange for my reviewing them, and I've become an affiliate earning a commission on sales. However, I’m not sponsored by Lion Energy and receive no direct monetary compensation for the videos and blog posts. Opinions are my own.
In part one of my Lion Energy Safari UT lithium battery tests/demos, I test its overall amp-hour capacity at 4 different discharge current rates.
First I do an extended slow discharge to my 3 Safari UT batteries wired in parallel producing a 12V 270Ah rated bank. Average discharge rate was in the 1-3 amp range. This test simulates an RVer with meager power needs, only running lights and the occasional light load like the water pump plus covering the usually parasitic loads.
The second test is for a single Safari UT battery drawn down at the 8-10 amp rate. It would cover most typical RVers using things computers, chargers, fans, LCD TV, etc.
The third test is for a single Safari UT battery drawn down at 80 amps and simulates a 1000 watt inverter that is being maxed-out to run a higher wattage appliance.
The final test is at 150 amps is a full maximum rated discharge test to one Safari UT 12V 90Ah battery.
Results:
1-3 amps - 89Ah
8-10 amps - 89..7 Ah
80 amps - 87.5 Ah
150 amps - 80.7 h
Conclusion: The Lion Energy Safari LiFEPO4 battery comes very close to its rated 90Ah capacity on the first 3 tests, but at the max 150 amp rate it barely got above 80.7Ah. Still not bad considering the substantial current output. Many similar batteries can't do more than 100 amps max rate.
