ALPHA 1 PRO - 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery

The certified battery in the 12V ALPHA line. Same 1,280Wh and same Group 24 case as the ALPHA 1, but with UL1973 listing, a 7,000-cycle rating and a 10-year performance guarantee - the combination you need when an inspector, insurer or marine surveyor asks for paperwork.

Why this battery

• UL1973 certified, plus FCC, UN38.3 and MSDS documentation. That is the practical reason to choose the PRO over the standard ALPHA 1, which is not listed.
• 7,000+ cycles against 5,000 on the ALPHA 1 and 4,000 on the LITE. Backed by a 10-year performance guarantee rather than the shorter term on the other two.
• 1,280Wh from 100Ah at 12.8V nominal, 100A continuous discharge.
• Internal heater starts below 41°F and stops above 50°F; charging is locked out below 32°F so the cells are never charged cold.
• Bluetooth monitoring through the RICH SOLAR app for state of charge, voltage, current, temperature and capacity, with remote output switching. Pairing is a barcode scan.
• Smart BMS covering overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, temperature and cell balancing.
• Be clear about what you are paying for: electrically the PRO does not deliver more power than the ALPHA 1. It is identical on voltage, capacity, charge rate and discharge rate, and the same 24 lb. The premium buys certification and cycle life, nothing else. If neither matters to your install, the ALPHA 1 does the same work for less.

Installation

• 10.2 x 6.6 x 8.3 in Group 24 case, a direct swap for most lead-acid trays.
• Charge at 14.4V ± 0.2V on a LiFePO4 profile; a 20A charger fills it in roughly six hours.
• About 400W of solar recovers a full charge in one clear day; a 20A DC-DC charger takes about six hours off an alternator or generator.
• Maximum charge current 100A - keep controller and charger output under that figure.
• Charging window 32°F to 131°F, discharge -4°F to 140°F.

Warranty

• 10-year performance guarantee published by Rich Solar, the longest term in the 12V ALPHA range.
• Certification of conformity, specification sheet, user manual and app quick-start guide are all published by the manufacturer; ask us if you need copies for an inspection.
• California Proposition 65 warning applies: this product can expose you to chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
