Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size inverter can this 200Ah battery support and for how long?
A: Supports 2400W continuous inverter (200A x 12V). Runtime depends on load—2400W load runs approximately 1 hour on full battery, 1200W runs 2+ hours, 600W runs 4+ hours. Remember inverter efficiency losses (typically 10-15%) reduce actual runtime. For air conditioning (1500W typical), expect 1.5-2 hours runtime. Battery excels at high-current applications impossible with smaller batteries or lead-acid.
Q: How does 200Ah lithium compare to dual lead-acid batteries in my caravan?
A: 200Ah lithium provides usable energy equivalent to 400Ah lead-acid (100% versus 50% usable depth). Replaces two 200Ah lead-acid batteries while weighing 70% less and occupying less space. Voltage remains stable throughout discharge—equipment operates normally until battery depleted unlike lead-acid where voltage drop affects performance. Faster charging, longer lifespan (3000-5000 cycles versus 300-500), and no maintenance required. Initial cost higher but lower lifetime cost considering replacement frequency.
Q: What charging equipment do I need for this battery?
A: Requires lithium-compatible charging equipment. DC-DC charger: 60-100A models suitable (Redarc BCDC1240D, Enerdrive ePOWER, or similar). Solar: 60-100A MPPT controller handles 750-1200W solar array. Mains: 40-100A lithium charger for powered site charging. All chargers must provide lithium/LiFePO4 profile (14.2-14.6V). Standard lead-acid chargers unsuitable—may undercharge or damage battery. High charge current capability (100A) enables rapid recovery but requires appropriate equipment.
Q: Can I connect multiple 200Ah batteries in parallel and what capacity would that provide?
A: Yes, can parallel multiple batteries for massive capacity.
