Mecer lobo 720w 1200/IVR-1200LBKS - Compatible with lithium batteries?
Hello all Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to buy a new battery for my home setup (to power the WiFi, one TV, one lamp and charge a cell phone during load shedding). Before buying a new battery I would first like to check whether my inverter is compatible with LifePO4 lithium batteries. I have previously used a 12V 100ampH gel battery, but it doesn’t last very long (with current load shedding it only lasts about 6 / 7 months before the battery dies). I therefore want to switch to lithium. I got my inverter in 2019. It is a Mecer Lobo 1200/IVR-1200LBKS 720w Input: 230Vac 50/60Hz Output: 230Vac 50/60Hz 10AMax Charge selector can be set to either 10A or 20A. Is this inverter compatible with lithium batteries? On the inverter, I am only able to change the charge setting (10A or 20A). I don’t think the inverter allows me change any other settings. I contacted Geewiz and they suggested I purchase this battery: https://www.geewiz.co.za/lithium-ion-batteries/209357-geewiz-12100l-12kwh-12v-100ah-lithium-ion-lifepo4-5000-cycle-battery-first-life-cells-3-year-unlimited-cycles-warranty-5000-cycles.html Anyone know whether this battery (Geewiz) is suitable given my inverter type and usage needs? Or any other suggestions / recommendations? Thank you in advance, D
