This Renogy 12V 100Ah Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery replaced a 100Ah lead acid battery in a portable solar generator project.Yes, this new Lithium Phosphate battery is about 6x more expensive than the lead acid battery;Yes, there is more run time (because you don't need to plan to 50% usage);Yes, the solar controller needed to be replaced to deal with the Lithium profile.The new Lithium battery is less than half the weight of the lead acid battery;Side terminal battery terminals were…

For a parallel system, these batteries work amazing. Not only does it require very little effort to get them setup using the included switches, but the "smart" features work incredibly well for me.These have over-discharged a dozen times due to my solar not being upgraded yet, and they have saved themselves every single time. Just waited for the morning sun to trickle in, and a quick press of the included switch brings these bad boys back to life.A nigh-perfect solution to an rv solar battery…

I am very happy with these batteries for my RV. I have three wired in Parallel. I liked the extra long terminal screws supplied, as I have several lugs on some terminals. Good sturdy terminals, too. I also like being able to shut down the battery when the RV is in storage. The batteries will hold their charge indefinitely in this manner, without having to keep a charger on them. Tech note: you do have to remove one lead on each battery in order to shut them down. They will not shut down when…

UPDATE: Batteries were exchanged and monitor stopped working again. RJ45 ports on one of the batteries full of water. The IP54 rating should mean that the batteries are splash proof. They are not. Mine are installed under the hood of a motorhome. Splashes occur.The idea of a "Smart Battery" with a tightly integrated monitor is a good one. However, there are a couple of design issues. Installed the batteries 9/20. I then gradually lost functionality until the monitor would not work anymore on…

The 1) size, 2) weight and 3) longevity are the reasons I purchased and the cost was major con. The size and weight reduction get 5 stars. Longevity was a fail.Used it sparingly on RV since Nov 2020. Kept it in a container, inside the trunk on RV, within a storage shed when not in use.well protected. Made sure I topped off charge every few weeks if not in use. Last week charged to 13+v and this week it has 0.05v. All RV leads were taken off and still it won't take a charge. Even bought a…

I have a solar bank for my RV with 4 of these in parallel. I can watch TV all day and run the heat at night with no problem. Thanks for attention.

Upon adding a third battery to my battery bank I was getting an overamperage warning from my battery console. The battery would not turn off. After contacting support they said disconnect from battery bank and try again. Battery gave the same overcharge amperage warning. Battery was very very warm to the touch and had an acrid electrical smell to it. FedEx would not take the battery for shipment due to it obviously being damaged. However Renogy support insisted I should package it up and just…

Fits behind the driver seat of a vanagon with double the power, haven't had any issue with it for 1 month. If installing in a vanagon you will need to remove the metal part of the battery door you can keep the carpet and will still be hidden.
