PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Rich Solar 12V 20Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Deep Cycle Battery (256Wh)
The Rich Solar 12V 20Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery is a high-performance, maintenance-free deep cycle energy storage solution engineered for reliability and long service life. Built with premium Grade A+ LiFePO4 cells, this lightweight 256Wh battery delivers stable power for RVs, marine vessels, solar systems, off-grid cabins, and critical backup systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Premium Grade A+ Stability: Manufactured with top-tier Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry to ensure maximum thermal stability, chemical safety, and optimal discharge efficiency.
- Advanced Built-In BMS Protection: The integrated Battery Management System protects against overcharging, over-discharging, over-current, short circuits, and features low-temperature charging protection.
- Exceptional Cycle Life: Provides over 3,000 cycles at 70% Depth of Discharge (DoD), drastically outlasting traditional lead-acid alternatives.
- Expandable Power Configurations: Supports parallel scaling up to 4 units (4P) to increase total current capacity as your power needs grow.
- Ultra-Lightweight Profile: Weighing only 4.6 lbs, it offers a compact, high-energy-density alternative that reduces vehicle and kit weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect multiple Rich Solar 12V 20Ah batteries together to scale up my capacity?
Yes. You can safely expand your system by connecting up to 4 units in parallel (4P setup) to match increasing storage and current runtime needs. Connecting in series is not recommended for this model.
What does the built-in Battery Management System (BMS) protect against?
The smart integrated BMS keeps your battery safe by preventing common causes of cell degradation, automatically cutting off power in instances of overcharging, over-discharging, excess current spikes, short circuits, and extreme high or low-temperature exposure.
What are the charging temperature limitations for this lithium battery?
For safe operation, charge the battery when ambient temperatures are between 32°F and 131°F. Discharging can safely occur in cold temperatures from -4°F up to 140°F.
Is this battery safe to use inside closed spaces like a camper, van, or indoor workshop?
Yes. Rich Solar LiFePO4 batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, and do not emit toxic gasses or spill liquids, making them completely safe for interior installations and off-grid workspaces.
How long will this 20Ah 12V battery run my fridge or appliances?
Runtime depends on what you're powering, but as a rule of thumb, divide the battery's rated watt-hours (voltage x amp-hours) by your device's wattage to estimate hours of runtime. A typical 12V RV fridge draws 40-60W, so a 20Ah battery can often run one for a full day or more between charges — check the exact capacity in the specifications above for a precise estimate.
Does this battery have Bluetooth or app monitoring?
Many Rich Solar Alpha-series batteries include built-in Bluetooth, reporting state of charge, voltage and cell health to a phone app. Confirm against the specifications above, since it is not fitted across the entire range.
Will this battery charge in cold weather?
LiFePO4 chemistry has limited charge acceptance in freezing temperatures. Several Rich Solar Alpha batteries include internal self-heating elements to allow charging below freezing — check the specifications above for this model's rated charging temperature range before relying on it in cold climates.
What's the cycle life — how long will this battery last?
Rich Solar's LiFePO4 batteries are typically rated for thousands of deep cycles, commonly in the 4,000 to 7,000 range depending on model, which is far beyond what lead-acid manages. The exact rating for this battery is in the specifications above.
Is this a drop-in replacement for my lead-acid or AGM battery?
Yes, in most cases. This 12V LiFePO4 battery is built to the same physical form factor and voltage as comparable lead-acid/AGM batteries, so it typically drops into the same battery box or compartment while delivering more usable capacity and a longer lifespan.
What size charger or solar controller do I need to charge this battery?
Use a charger or solar charge controller rated for 12V LiFePO4 batteries specifically (not a generic lead-acid profile) so the charging voltage and absorption curve match this chemistry. Match the controller's max charge current to the battery's rated capacity.
