ALPHA 2 - 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery

Double the capacity of the ALPHA 1 in a single case: 200Ah at 12V, or about 2,560Wh. This is the size most people land on for a van or trailer that runs a compressor fridge and an inverter without a generator in the loop.

Why this battery

• 200Ah of LiFePO4 storage - roughly 2,560Wh - so one battery does the work of two 100Ah units and takes one set of cable runs and one fuse.
• Rated for 5,000+ lifetime cycles, the same tier as the standard ALPHA 1.
• Internal heating so the battery can charge in cold weather rather than locking out for the winter. This is the feature the ALPHA 2 LITE does without.
• Bluetooth monitoring through the RICH SOLAR app for real-time state of charge and battery health.
• One large battery instead of two smaller ones removes the cell-balancing mismatch you get when paralleling batteries of different ages.
• If you need certification paperwork, look at the ALPHA 2 PRO instead - that is the UL1973-listed model in this capacity.

Installation

• Charge on a LiFePO4 profile. Rich Solar does not publish charge voltage, charge current or case dimensions for the ALPHA 2 on its product page, so confirm the figures against the specification PDF before you size a controller or cut a battery box.
• The heating element manages itself; no external thermostat or switch is required.
• Pair the app over Bluetooth to read state of charge - worth doing before the battery is buried under a bed frame.

Warranty

• Covered by Rich Solar's limited warranty. The 10-year term published for the PRO models does not apply here; ask us to confirm the current term before ordering if warranty length matters.
• California Proposition 65 warning applies: this product can expose you to chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
