Megatank 1kWh 12V lithium battery is a compact little LiFePO4 pack that’s great for small solar setups, camping, electric fences, or backup lights in Kenya. At 12.8V nominal and 75Ah, it gives you around 0.96 kWh usable – perfect if you don’t need a big bank but want something way better than lead-acid (lighter, longer life, no maintenance). It’s got a built-in BMS for protection, and many come with Bluetooth so you can check status on your phone. People here use it for trolley systems, gate motors, or as a starter battery in small off-grid cabins. It’s tough, safe (no fire risk), and charges fast from solar – a solid budget option if you’re starting small or adding to a 12V system.
