It supports 300A of continuous charge and discharge current and connects up to four units in parallel for 1,200Ah at 12V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALPHA 3 LITE is the value model of the ALPHA 3 line. It uses Grade A+ LiFePO4 cells rated for 4,000+ cycles, an IP65 UL94 V-0 flame-retardant housing and a full-protection BMS with low-temperature charging protection. It does not include the internal heater or Bluetooth of the standard ALPHA 3, which makes it a strong fit for warm climates and heated spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRich Solar ALPHA 3 LITE 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 Battery Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e300Ah in a Single Battery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ALPHA 3 LITE does the job of three 100Ah batteries, with one set of terminals and one BMS.
