ALPHA 2 PRO - 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery

The certified 200Ah battery in the 12V ALPHA line. Same 2,560Wh as the standard ALPHA 2, but with UL1973 listing, a 7,000-cycle rating and a 10-year warranty - the combination that matters when the install has to pass an inspection or the battery is expected to outlast the build around it.

Why this battery

• UL1973 certified, with a certificate of conformity published by the manufacturer. This is the practical reason to pick the PRO over the standard ALPHA 2, which is not listed.
• 7,000+ lifetime cycles against 5,000 on the ALPHA 2 and 4,000 on the LITE. At one cycle a day that is the difference between roughly fourteen years and eleven.
• 10-year warranty, the longest term Rich Solar publishes on a 12V battery.
• Internal heating so the battery can still take a charge when the compartment is below freezing.
• Industrial-grade cells with a BMS handling the usual overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short-circuit and temperature cases.
• Be clear about what the premium buys: capacity and voltage are identical to the standard ALPHA 2. You are paying for certification, cycle life and warranty, not for more usable energy. If none of those three drive your decision, the ALPHA 2 stores exactly the same amount of power for less.

Installation

• Charge on a LiFePO4 profile. Rich Solar publishes charge voltage, charge current, weight and case dimensions only inside the downloadable specification PDF, so check those figures before sizing a controller or building a battery box.
• The heating element manages itself - no external thermostat or relay needed.
• Keep the certificate of conformity with your paperwork if an inspector or insurer is involved; the manufacturer publishes it for download.

Warranty

• 10-year limited warranty published by Rich Solar.
• UL1973 certification of conformity available from the manufacturer on request.
• California Proposition 65 warning applies: this product can expose you to chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
