Offering a substantial 300Ah rated capacity at a nominal 12.8V, it provides high energy storage while maintaining a more compact form factor than comparable batteries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) prismatic cells and automotive-grade battery cells, providing a combination of high energy density, deep discharge capability, high round-trip efficiency and faster charging performance. Renogy states that the battery weighs approximately half as much as comparable lead-acid batteries and can safely be discharged to 100% depth of discharge (DOD), allowing it to deliver twice the energy of a comparable lead-acid counterpart according to the manufacturer's manual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a 5000-cycle lifespan at 80% DOD, the battery is designed for long-term deep-cycle applications where dependable energy storage and repeated charging and discharging are required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003e300Ah Capacity with High Charge and Discharge Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 300Ah capacity provides substantial stored energy for 12V applications and can be scaled into larger battery banks when additional capacity or system voltage is required. The battery has a maximum continuous charge current of 150A and a maximum continuous discharge current of 200A, making it suitable for systems requiring significant charging and power delivery capability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe standard charging process uses a constant current of 150A until the battery reaches 14.4V, followed by constant-voltage charging at 14.4V while the current gradually reduces. Renogy states that the standard charging process typically takes approximately 2.5 hours under the specified conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe battery can be charged using compatible lithium battery charging equipment, including MPPT charge controllers, AC chargers and DC-DC chargers. The recommended charge, boost or bulk voltage setting is 14.4V ±0.2V.

This helps protect the battery and connected equipment from potentially damaging operating conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe battery also incorporates cell balancing through an internal bypass circuit. During charging, when the voltage difference between cell groups reaches the specified balancing conditions, the system can divert charging current around the highest-voltage cell group until the voltage difference is reduced. This balancing function operates during the charging process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature protection is also built into the battery.

Renogy also recommends balancing batteries before connecting them. Each battery should first be fully charged individually, with the voltage difference kept below 0.1V, followed by a 12–24 hour period connected in parallel before establishing the final battery system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact Construction and Installation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe battery measures 384 × 194 × 253mm and weighs 25.0kg.

Sufficient airflow should be provided to prevent excessive heat build-up and to minimise temperature differences between connected batteries. When installing multiple batteries, the manual illustrates spacing of approximately 5–10cm between batteries and at least 20cm where indicated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe battery can be mounted on its bottom or on its sides, but the top side containing the terminals should not be used as a mounting surface. A battery tray, tie-down strap and mounting screws can be used to secure the battery and help prevent movement caused by loose cables or impacts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppropriately sized circuit breakers, fuses or disconnects should be installed to protect electrical equipment, with sizing carried out by a certified electrician, licensed installer or according to applicable regional electrical requirements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55206352847189,"sku":"REN102","price":399.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/0607\/2917\/files\/9455478-re26027_3-2-3-1000.jpg?v=1791199848","url":"https:\/\/premiercamping.com\/products\/renogy-core-mini-300amp-lithium-battery","provider":"Premier Camping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
