LiTime has unveiled a ‘talking’ battery system, the company’s fifth-generation – T5.0 – technology platform.
The system has been launched alongside compatible products and supports both CAN and RS485 communication protocols, enables OTA updates, and delivers native integration with both RV and marine energy systems.
LiTime says that by dismantling traditional battery data silos, T5.0 establishes intelligent power hubs — propelling LiTime into the era of smart, connected energy.
The company points out that as the global shift to off-grid living and electric mobility accelerates, lithium batteries are evolving into connected control centers.
LiTime T5.0 is a response to this growing trend — designed to meet the increasing demands of RV and marine users for real-time data access, precision insights, operational transparency, remote control capabilities, and seamless integration with smart external systems.
Open protocol architecture
LiTime has incorporated an open protocol architecture, with the T5.0 enabling seamless integration between LiTime battery systems and advanced power converters, enabling more efficient and intelligent energy management.
“Through five rapid iterations, LiTime has evolved from a hardware-focused battery manufacturer into a full-stack smart energy provider,” said a company spokesperson.
“Within the smart energy landscape, leading inverter manufacturers like SMA, Fronius, Victron, Enphase Energy, SolarEdge, Sungrow, and Growatt have set high benchmarks for power conversion.
“LiTime, committed to advancing lithium battery innovation, bridges the gap with its T5.0 platform.”
Previous iterations of LiTime’s technology have ranged from the company’s first battery system, the T1.0 which was a high-efficiency lithium battery through to the incorporation of precision software control and real-time current sampling, the introduction of Bluetooth control via a mobile app and the additino of internal system networking and external data displays.
Intelligent control
The latest generation from the company enables intelligent control and data exchange between lithium batteries and external devices like inverters and MPPT controllers via CAN and RS485 protocols.
“From our first generation of protection-focused batteries to today’s intelligent, fully integrated systems, LiTime has remained committed to its core mission – Powering Outdoor Adventures for Generations,” said LiTime’s founder, Luny Lu.
“This is more than just technology, it’s continuity.”
The company says it is now planning to iterate toward T6.0, T7.0and beyond, aiming to incorporate AI-powered predictive analysis and edge-computing adaptive control.
