Q:
What are the advantages of the Renogy LiFePO4 battery?
Answer: Firstly, our lifepo4 batteries use the most up-to-date pouch cell technology. Currently, there are a few lithium phosphate battery brands on the market using pre-used battery cores, which will harm the battery’s life span and present safety risks. In addition, Renogy 12 volt lithium ion batteries feature self-heating functions, an auto-balancing system, and an advanced and efficient BMS system. Finally, we provide a 5-year industry-leading warranty on all Renogy lifepo4 batteries.
Q:
What is the benefit of lifepo4 batteries using pouch cells?
Answer: The pouch cell refers to the use of aluminum-plastic film as the packaging material of the battery cells. The Renogy 12V lithium ion batteries all use pouch cells, however, the vast majority of 12 volt batteries on the market still use metal shell cells. Compared with the metal shell of the same capacity, the pouch cell battery is lighter in weight and has better cycling performance. When safety problems occur, gas and heat can be released through the sealing mouth of the pouch cells to avoid the further triggering reaction. By contrast, steel and aluminum cells have a higher possibility of explosion.
Q:
What does the external battery switch of the Renogy 12V lithium ion battery do?
Answer: Our 12 volt lithium ion batteries come with an external activation switch, which can be used to turn off the battery, and the BMS with one key when the battery is not needed to work. In this way, it can reduce the self-consumption of the 12 volt rechargeable battery, making it safer to store and prolong the battery life.
Q:
How long will a Renogy 100 amp hour lithium battery last?
Answer: The Renogy 12V 100 amp hour lithium battery is capable of 4000 cycles. This means if you live a completely off-grid life, calculated at the rate of a full charge and discharge per day, you will be able to use the 12 volt lithium battery in the best condition for more than 10 years.After that, the efficiency of the battery will drop to 80% of the factory performance, but it is still good enough for normal useage.
Q:
ow many Renogy 12 volt lithium ion batteries can I connect to at most?
Answer: Please connect your batteries in parallel, we recommend a maximum of 4 batteries in parallel, and our automatic battery balancing system allows you to achieve parallel connection safely.
Q:
How do I monitor the battery status?
Answer: This 12 volt rechargeable lithium battery will not charge and enters a low-temperature protection stage if the charging environment is below 32°F(0°C ). If you buy this Renogy Lithium-iron Phosphate battery without a self-heating function, please pay attention to timely charging it at the appropriate temperature to prevent the battery from over-discharging. Safe charging requires battery temperatures between 32°F and 131°F (0°C and 55°C). By minimizing exposure to conditions that accelerate degradation, Lithium-iron Phosphate batteries can last longer.
