Also picked up a Whistler 1600 Watt Inverter with this order. Will use my 800 watt Cobra in the cars or the storage shed.When this solar storage battery is out of service and is not being charged by the solar, I use a Schumacher SC-1200A 120vac charger to keep it charge up. Which will charge Standard, AGM, Deep Cycle, Gel Cell batteries. With a digital readout that gives the Voltage, % of Charge, S M L size Battery selection and your selection of the type of lifepo4 solar storage battery you want to charge. When it gets to 100% charged it shuts down.
Use it instead of heavy weight lifepo4 solar storage batteries like 200AH. You can buy 6 of 35AH that make the total of 210AH. 12 batteries will be 420AH. For the elder like me, I prefer small batteries to hook up. Even commercial solar business companies recommend me to use that size, 35AH to install 5Kw= 5000Watt. But they asked me to pay $22500 to build it. So, I bought two complete-kits with 4 of 100watt-solar-panels each. Then, I bought six of 35AH lifepo4 solar storage batteries. I have to buy 18 more, because each of the complete-kit can charge for 400AH. I am using 12 batteries to each kit. You will be happy. Do it your self -- do not pay $22500. It will be enough for my free-of-charge meditation center on the 19-acre of land in Arizona.
I am using this battery for my 200 watts solar storage battery system. I have the renogy solar panels and charge controller, also a cobra 1500 watts inverter. All these items work like a charm.
One thing that you must watch out for is that the connecting cables aren't included. I bought the cobra 4 awg cable and it fits and works like magic. Also since it's deep cycle battery, don't deep cycle it too often or else the lifepo4 battery pack will lose its efficiency. Its best to use only 25% of the 125 amp then charge it to full again.
Anyway the lifepo4 battery pack came in perfect condition and there was a charge in it already. I am planning to buy 2 more of these to increase my solar capacity.
