SOK SK12V206H 206Ah 12V (heated, Bluetooth): 12 V specs and what it works with

The SOK SK12V206H 206Ah 12V (heated, Bluetooth) accepts up to 70 A of charge current and its BMS is rated for 170 A continuous maker spec. Of the 12 RV converters we list, 6 pass both the lithium-mode and current checks for one battery calculated. Data updated .

RV converters and chargers

Each converter is checked against one battery: does the maker list a lithium mode whose voltage sits inside this battery's published charge range, and is its output within the battery's max charge current? For two or more batteries in parallel the current limit adds up; use the planner.

Inverters

Full-load inverter draw is continuous watts ÷ the inverter's published peak efficiency ÷ 12 V, compared with this battery's BMS continuous rating calculated.

Notes on the sources

SOK publishes no dimensions or heater start temperature on this page. The -4 °F charge minimum relies on the built-in heater. Cycle life is the low end of the stated 3000-8000.

In the maker's words

“Low temperature charging cut-off.” (low temp cutoff quote; source)
