{"product_id":"alpha-1-lite-12v-100ah-lifepo4-battery","title":"ALPHA 1 LITE - 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe least expensive way into 12V lithium storage that we are willing to sell. The ALPHA 1 LITE gives you the same 1,280Wh and the same Group 24 footprint as the standard ALPHA 1, and drops the two features you may not need: the internal heater and the Bluetooth radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1,280Wh from 100Ah at 12.8V nominal, with 100A continuous discharge - the same working capacity as the ALPHA 1 above it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 4,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge. That is fewer than the 5,000 on the ALPHA 1 and the 7,000 on the PRO, but still several times what a lead-acid bank of the same size will give you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart BMS handles overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, cell balancing and low-temperature charge lockout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase is moulded from UL94 V-0 rated plastic, the self-extinguishing grade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharging shuts off below 32°F, at 129°F ± 9°F on the high side, and discharge stops at 167°F ± 9°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead this before you buy: there is no heating element. Below freezing the LITE will simply refuse to charge until it warms up on its own. If the battery lives in an unheated bay or a boat that winters in the water, spend the extra on the ALPHA 1 - the heater is the whole difference and it is the difference that matters in cold country. There is also no Bluetooth, so state of charge has to come from a shunt or the inverter display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 24.3 lb it is about a third the weight of the lead-acid battery it replaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase measures 10.2 x 6.6 x 8.3 in, a standard Group 24 footprint that fits most existing trays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharge on a LiFePO4 profile at 14.4V ± 0.2V. A 20A lithium charger takes roughly six hours from empty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 400W of solar covers a full recharge in one clear day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 20A DC-DC charger from an alternator or generator takes about six hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum charge current is 100A; size your controller and DC-DC charger below that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharge window 32°F to 131°F, discharge window -4°F to 140°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by Rich Solar's limited warranty. The 10-year term published for the PRO models does not apply to the LITE - ask us to confirm the current term before ordering if that matters to your build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 warning applies: this product can expose you to chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RICHSOLAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46391895883926,"sku":"RS-B12100","price":319.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5291\/1254\/files\/ALPHA_1_LITE_12V_100Ah_LiFePO4_Lithium_Iron_Phophate_Battery_240808_1.jpg?v=1785820934","url":"https:\/\/sunenergydepot.com\/products\/alpha-1-lite-12v-100ah-lifepo4-battery","provider":"sunenergydepot.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
