Overview

The Grid 200Ah is a dual battery system in a box. An AllSpark 200Ah lithium battery, a REDARC Alpha 50 DC-DC charger and an AllSpark Pro Series 2000W pure sine wave inverter are mounted, wired and fused in one case, so 240V comes with it rather than as a second purchase and a second install.

AllSpark rates the 2,560Wh battery to run a 40L fridge for up to 10 days, or an 80L upright for about 5. On the 240V side that works out to roughly 68 coffees, 15 kettle boils or 2 hours on an induction cooktop from a full charge. At 31.1kg with the inverter it can move between vehicles, and it doubles as backup power for the home fridge in an outage.

Charging on the move and at camp

The REDARC Alpha 50 charges at up to 50A from the alternator, including smart alternators, and takes fixed or portable solar from 9 to 48V on its own input. It uses solar first when both are available. Add a 240V lithium charger through one of the Anderson plugs and you can push the battery at up to 100A.

Outlets and protection

Two 50A Anderson plugs handle power in and out behind a 60A resettable breaker. The cig socket, QC 3.0 USB-A and 65W USB-C PD share a 15A breaker and the Posifit fridge socket has its own. The inverter is hard-wired on a 200A breaker and gives two Australian 3-pin outlets plus two USB ports.

Installing it

With basic 12V knowledge the install takes a couple of hours, because the only vehicle connection is a cable from the start battery to an Anderson plug. The AllSpark Grid wiring kit supplies that run; an auto electrician can fit it in under an hour if you would rather not.

Before you order

Each Grid is assembled to order in Western Australia, so allow 2 to 4 weeks before dispatch. Need more capacity? The Grid 300Ah with 2500W inverter adds 50% more battery. Already have an inverter? The Grid 200Ah without an inverter is the same unit minus the 240V side.

Common questions

How do I switch The Grid on when it arrives?

The battery ships isolated for transport. Install the free AllSpark app, turn on Bluetooth and location services, pick the battery from the list and switch on both Charge and Discharge at the bottom of the dashboard screen.

How should I store it between trips?

Disconnect anything that draws power, bring the battery to about 80% charge and it will sit for up to 12 months. For longer storage, top it back up to 80% every 6 to 12 months.

What happens if I run the battery flat?

At 10.0V the battery management system cuts the terminals to protect the cells, and the app shows 0V. Open the app, switch the BMS back on and it will accept charge again.

Can it recover a flat start battery?

Yes. The REDARC Alpha 50 has a recovery function you trigger from the app, and once The Grid is full it can send spare solar to the start battery.

Can I charge it from a 240V battery charger?

Yes. Set the charger to its lithium (LiFePO4) profile and connect it to one of the 50A Anderson plugs, or clip it onto the inverter posts with red to positive and black to negative. Make sure the clips cannot slip off and touch the case.

Do I need an auto electrician to install it?

Not if you are comfortable with basic 12V work. The inverter is already wired in, so the only connection is the Anderson plug from your vehicle's DC-DC harness, or the Grid wiring kit if you do not have one. If you would rather hand it over, an auto electrician can run the cable in under an hour.

What will the 2000W inverter run?

Anything rated at 2000W or less continuous: most coffee machines, kettles, microwaves, toasters, induction cooktops, pumps and TVs. For two appliances at once, add their wattages. The 4000W surge covers the start-up spike of compressors.
