That current rating is the ALPHA 3 LITE's real selling point, and it is what makes it workable behind a large inverter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300A continuous charge and discharge through the built-in smart BMS. At 12V that is roughly 3,600W of continuous draw, so a 3,000W inverter runs at full output from a single battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300Ah of LiFePO4 storage, about 3,840Wh, in one case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 4,000+ lifetime cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpandable in a 4P4S configuration - up to four in parallel and four in series, so the same battery can build a 12V bank now and a 48V bank later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 rated against water and dust, in a UL94 V-0 flame-retardant shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead this before you buy: no internal heater and no Bluetooth. Below freezing this battery stops accepting a charge, and state of charge has to come from a shunt or your inverter. The standard ALPHA 3 adds both for roughly $240 more at our price - if the battery lives outside or in an unheated bay, that is money well spent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize cabling and fusing for the full 300A the BMS will pass, not for your typical load.
