Highly recommend Renogy products & will be purchasing more Renogy products as I need. They are great value, will use them for future van builds too. https://au.renogy.com/renogy-smart-lithium-iron-phosphate-ba…

It's right here in front of you… free advertising!
Wow decent price!
How are these different to the other batteries we've had recently? I'm not really up with these mods sized batteries, so it's a half genuine question haha.
Cycle Life of my battery is 4000 cycles, and I can use Renogy's APP to view battery data.
4000 cycles down to what percentage? Are these prismatic cells?
Would like to know this too. Most 2 important specs.
Also the enercore with clearly plastic covers look nice.
There are a lot of junk lithium batteries going cheap these days and the battery in your link looks like one of them.
I have no affiliation with Renogy, but they supposedly make decent stuff. I dont know enough about 12v to decide this for myself, but watching Will Prowse has helped. He rates Renogy gear positively.
Do you reckon a 50Ah would be enough for just one tiny 15 litres fridge running 3.5A? Theoretically 12 hours of continuous running time but fridges are stop and run. Can you use these lithium batteries until flat and then charge with solar?
You can run to about 20% whereas an AGM would be 50% before you start to ruin the battery. If you have a solar panel then I think you'd be fine. Just leave the panel out and constantly keep it charged rather than run it flat before charging. A good small panel should give you 3-4 amps per hour which will keep you going for a few days before you need to charge it at home.
I'd recommend 100AH if you can though 👍
Just been hoping for one of these to come up on here 🙂 Would love if they price matched on Amazon though. Even sweeter deal with some gift cards…
I have this battery, runs my 40ltr fridge for ~5 days
Does it need a special charger?
depends on your application, but many chargers are not suited to LiFePo4
Probably want solar charging…
And an inverter to use it at 240v.
Yes, the charger needs to support LiFePo4 chemistry. In an emergency you can probably use Pb-acid charger, but it’s not ideal.
Thought it was a spelling mistake for lithium-ion battery for a bit.
Purchased. Don't forget the 6% off with the referral link above. Payed $610.99 in total. Nice one 👍
Shoulda used WillProwse for 10% off.
That doesn't work on the AU site
That's odd it did for me. They must have canned it :(
Renogy have been building a good name for themself. As a drop-in solution this is probably a pretty good buy and I would choose this over other no name brands…. but the specs "(0.2C,25℃): 80%DOD 4000 Cycles" always sounds light on when compared to buying something like prismatic cells (for example Winston).
Also I question the sense in spending money on an internal BMS that gets thrown away when you have to replace the battery over something like an external Daly BMS… that doesn't sound like a good Ozbargainer to me.
… but if DIY is not your thing I get it.
The BMS chip probably costs a pittance though - you can buy them individually for like $2 each, or less in bulk. Makes it one less thing the customer can stuff up when wiring up a system, especially when these are used as drop-in replacements for Pb batteries.
Thats simply not true. Switching of large DC voltages is not cheap. In this case 13v-ish at up 100A is its rated capacity. It needs to be able to handle disconnect at anything over this.
Where's the freebie?
