Model RS-B12100 provides 1,280Wh nominal energy at 12.8V, with a 100Ah nominal capacity and 100A maximum charging and discharge ratings. Its built-in battery management system supports overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit, cell-balancing, and low-temperature charging protection. The ALPHA 1 LITE weighs approximately 24.3 lb and uses a plastic shell listed by Rich Solar with a UL94 V-0 flame-retardant rating and IP65 waterproof and dustproof rating. Rich Solar lists this LITE model without internal heating or Bluetooth monitoring, unlike ALPHA configurations that include those features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1,280Wh LiFePO4 Storage for Mobile and Off-Grid Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALPHA 1 LITE stores 1,280Wh of nominal energy in a compact 12V-class battery format. It is intended for properly designed electrical systems where a lightweight lithium battery is needed for RV travel, camping, marine, cabin, or off-grid applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Battery Management System Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated battery management system monitors key charging and discharging conditions while providing overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit, cell-balance, and low-temperature charging protection. This supports more controlled battery operation when the unit is installed and charged according to the manufacturer documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Temperature Charging Protection for Seasonal Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery is listed with a charging temperature range of 32°F to 131°F and a discharge temperature range of -4°F to 140°F. Its low-temperature charging protection is designed to prevent charging outside supported cold-weather conditions; this model does not include an internal heating function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact LITE Configuration Without Bluetooth or Internal Heat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS-B12100 is the ALPHA 1 LITE configuration, not the heated or connected-monitoring version in the broader ALPHA battery lineup.
