Rich Solar ALPHA 4 LITE | 24V 100Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
RICH SOLAR 24V lithium battery has a much longer cycle life capacity, and is easier to maintain compared to other battery technologies. The LiFePO4 technology has better thermal and chemical stability, which improves battery safety and packed with power in a small and lightweight footprint. Easily uses the same space as your existing 24V battery and replaces lead acid, AGM or Gel battery applications in RVs, boats, commercial vehicles, off grid back up power and much more. Not intended to replace starting batteries.

Product FAQs
Rich Solar FAQs
How does solar work with my RV?
Solar power allows you to take your RV off the grid while still using your refrigerator,
lights and other appliances for extended periods. Solar panels convert the sun’s energy
into direct current (DC) electricity, and this charges your RV’s batteries, storing the
electricity. A power inverter converts this DC power to AC (alternating current) in order
to run many of your RV appliances.
What is the difference between DC and AC power?
DC (direct current) power is drawn directly from the battery and will run several types of
RV appliances, like lights and water pumps. AC power (alternating current), is what is
used in your home. An inverter in your RV converts your DC battery power into AC for
AC-powered devices such as TVs, hair dryers or coffee makers.
Can I run my TV, refrigerator, or water pump on solar?
Yes. Many RV refrigerators can run on DC or AC power. You can also use solar to
power your water pump. Most TVs run on AC power, requiring an inverter.
What is the difference between a solar kit and a solar system?
Our solar kits provide the basics you need for charging your RV battery — they contain
a solar panel, solar charge controller, and cables. A solar system includes more
components (such as an inverter, transfer switch, battery charger, and fuse block) so
you can run AC appliances and electronics, charge your battery, and connect both
shore and solar power to your RV’s breaker panel.
How long can I run my appliances or electronics on solar?
That depends on the number of appliances, how much power they consume, and what
size of battery bank you have installed.
What is the difference between amps, watts and volts?
Think of your power system as a gas station. Amps are like gallons of gas that fill your
RV’s battery, and volts are like the pressure at the gas pump. You need a certain
voltage ‘pressure’ to fill your batteries (the gas tank). – Watts are simply the amps
multiplied by the volts.
Why do I need a solar controller/regulator?
The solar charge controller is required to prevents your solar panels from overcharging
your RV batteries.
Do I need to install an inverter if I only want to charge my boat or RV battery with
a solar panel?
No, you only require an inverter if you want to convert DC battery power to AC
household power in order to run devices like TVs, tool chargers, and microwaves.
What is the difference between a pure sine wave and a modified sine wave
inverter?
All AC devices can run with pure sine wave power. Modified sine wave power replicates
AC power, but not perfectly. While modified sine wave inverters are much less
expensive, many devices run poorly when it is used — for example, portable tool
chargers, high-end TVs and stereos, CPAP machines, and microwaves.
Will solar work in the winter in my state or province?
Will the sun be shining? Solar will work any time there is sunlight is shining on the
panel. If there is a snow buildup on the panel, the system will not work.
What voltage are your panels? Will they work with my 12V, 24V or 48V system?
We have nominal 12V and 24V panels. These panels actually produce 20+V and 30+V,
respectively. Whether it will work with a 12V, 24V, and 48V will depend on the controller
that you use. All the controllers we offer will work with 12/24V systems. The MidNite
Classic controllers will work with 48V systems.
