It measures 7.1 x 3.1 x 6.5 inches and weighs 4.6 pounds, so it fits small spaces and is easy to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich Solar designs it for RVs, marine systems, off-grid cabins, camping and backup power. A built-in battery management system (BMS) guards against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuits and charging in the cold, and Rich Solar backs it with a 5-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRich Solar 12V 20Ah LiFePO4 Battery Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e256Wh of Stored Energy in a Small Footprint\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated at 12.8V and 20Ah, the battery stores 256Wh.

Rich Solar recommends 14.2V and sets the maximum at 14.4V. The recommended charge current is 10A and the maximum is 20A. The battery supplies up to 30A of continuous discharge current, with a discharge cutoff of 10.0V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFlame-Retardant Case and M6 Terminals\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is UL94 V-0 flame-retardant plastic. The M6 terminals take a torque of 53.1 to 57.5 lbf·in, and Rich Solar includes stainless steel screws in three lengths, red and black nut covers and a pair of short 10 AWG power cables.

The RS-B1220 instead uses maintenance-free LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,000+ cycles, weighs 4.6 pounds and has a BMS that manages charge, discharge and temperature limits. If you switch over, make sure your charger has a lithium or LiFePO4 setting that stays within 14.4V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRS-B1220 Versus a Larger 12V Lithium Battery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA larger 12V battery stores more energy but takes more space and weight. The RS-B1220 suits small loads where space is tight. If you need more than 256Wh, connect up to four in parallel. If your loads draw more than 30A continuously, choose a larger battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuyer Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCharging and First Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery ships at about 40% charge, and Rich Solar asks you to charge it fully before first use. Use an approved CC\/CV charger set no higher than 14.4V, with 14.2V recommended, and keep the charge current at 20A or less. Charge only between 32°F and 131°F. The battery has no internal heater, and its BMS protects it from charging when it's too cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStorage and Upkeep\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the battery will sit unused for more than two weeks, Rich Solar recommends holding it at 60 to 80% state of charge and checking it at least once a month. Disconnect all loads if it will be stored for more than a month, and recharge to at least 60% after each use. For storage longer than three months, keep it between 32°F and 113°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis May Be A Good Fit If\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need a light 12V battery for small DC loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour loads stay within 30A continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou charge in temperatures above freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou may add up to three more batteries in parallel later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I Charge It Below Freezing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The charging range is 32°F to 131°F, and the battery has no internal heater.
