{"product_id":"alpha-2-lite-12v-200ah-lifepo4-battery","title":"ALPHA 2 LITE - 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe budget route to 200Ah at 12V. The ALPHA 2 LITE carries the same 2,560Wh as the standard ALPHA 2 and gives up the internal heater and the Bluetooth radio to get the price down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2,560Wh of LiFePO4 storage in one case - the practical size for a van or trailer running a compressor fridge alongside an inverter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 4,000 lifetime cycles. Fewer than the 5,000 on the standard ALPHA 2, but still far beyond what lead-acid delivers at the same capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCells are individually fused. If one cell fails, that cell drops out rather than taking the pack with it - a construction detail worth more than it sounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMS protection covers excessive heat, short circuit and individual cell failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead this before you buy: there is no internal heating element and no Bluetooth. In freezing weather the LITE will refuse to charge until it warms up, and you will need a shunt or an inverter display to read state of charge. If the battery lives in an unheated compartment through winter, the standard ALPHA 2 is the one to buy.\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, case dimensions or weight in text for this model, so check the specification PDF before sizing a controller or building a battery box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminals are standard threaded posts; torque to the figure in the manual and use correctly sized lugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the battery above freezing while charging. There is no heater to do it for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by Rich Solar's limited warranty.
