Q:
What are Renogy battery’s greatest advantages？
Answer: Firstly, our batteries use the most up to date pouch cell technology. Currently, there are a few battery brands on the market using pre-used battery cores, these have a negative impact on the battery’s life span and present safety risks. In addition, Renogy 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 batteries.
Q:
What is the specific soft package cell mentioned just now?
Answer: Soft package cell refers to the use of aluminum-plastic film as the packaging material of the cell. At present, the vast majority of lithium-ion batteries on the market still use metal shell cells. Compared with the metal shell of the same capacity, the soft pack battery is light in weight and has good cycling performance. When safety problems occur, gas and heat can be released through the sealing mouth to avoid the further triggering reaction. Steel and aluminum cells have the possibility of explosion.
Q:
What does the external battery switch do?
Answer: Our battery is connected with a battery switch, which can turn off the battery and the BMS system with one key when the battery is not needed to work, reducing the self-consumption of the battery, making it safer to store, and protecting the battery life.
Q:
How long will your battery last?
Answer: Our battery is capable of 4000 cycles of perfect charge and discharge, after which the efficiency of the battery will drop to 80% of the factory performance, but it is still very good for your use. 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 it for more than 10 years.
Q:
How many batteries can I connect to at most?
Answer: Please connect your batteries in parallel, we recommand a maximum of 4 batteries in parallel, and our automatic battery balancing system allows you to achieve parallel safely.
Q:
How to keep a Lithium-iron Phosphate battery healthy at low temperatures?
Answer: A Lithium-iron Phosphate 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 overdischarging. 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.
Q:
What do I need know to connect multiple batteries in parallel？
Answer: When you design to connect multiple batteries in parallel, please keep the length of ALL cables consistent (from the positive end to the negative end). Battery cables (sold separately) should be appropriately sized to handle the expected load. Keep the connection tight by using the appropriate number of washers to allow for as much as possible thread engagement between the terminal, cable lugs, and busbars, without bottoming out the terminal bolt. And it is best to use flexible busbars or dedicated cables to connect batteries together.
Note: DO NOT connect batteries in series. DO NOT connect batteries with different chemistries.
