{"product_id":"alpha-2-12v-200ah-lifepo4-battery","title":"ALPHA 2 - 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200Ah 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 5,000+ lifetime cycles, the same tier as the standard ALPHA 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth monitoring through the RICH SOLAR app for real-time state of charge and battery health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne large battery instead of two smaller ones removes the cell-balancing mismatch you get when paralleling batteries of different ages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you need certification paperwork, look at the ALPHA 2 PRO instead - that is the UL1973-listed model in this capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharge 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe heating element manages itself; no external thermostat or switch is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair the app over Bluetooth to read state of charge - worth doing before the battery is buried under a bed frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by Rich Solar's limited warranty.
