Product Description

The Renogy CORE 12V 300Ah Self-Heating Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery 2-Pack puts 600Ah of deep cycle lithium storage into a single order. Each CORE Series battery has a built-in 200A battery management system and a self-heating function that activates at 32°F, so the bank can accept a charge in freezing weather. Per Renogy, these batteries are rated for 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge.

Who This Is For

This 2-pack fits RV and van builds running heavy loads through an inverter, boaters who want serious house-bank capacity, and cabin or backup systems that need to keep charging through cold winters. At 60.63 lb per battery, the pair weighs about 121 lb total — a real consideration for payload-conscious builds, since a lead-acid battery in a similar case size weighs roughly twice as much per unit. If 600Ah is more than you need, the single CORE 12V 300Ah battery is available on its own.

Key Features

  • 600Ah of combined capacity from two 12V 300Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries
  • Self-heating function activates at 32°F using 200W heating elements, per Renogy, with charging rated down to -4°F
  • 5,000 cycle life at 80% depth of discharge, per Renogy
  • 200A maximum charge and discharge current per battery, managed by a built-in 200A BMS with low-temperature charge and discharge cut-off
  • Expandable up to 4 in series, 4 in parallel, or 16 batteries total in series-parallel — a 61.44kWh maximum system, per Renogy
  • IP65 dust and water protection rating
  • 60.63 lb per battery, about half the weight of a lead-acid battery of similar case size

Why Renogy

Renogy has built solar and battery equipment for the off-grid market for over a decade and publishes full manuals, spec sheets, and warranty terms for its products. The CORE Series carries a 5-year prorated material and workmanship warranty, and because OffGrid Horizon is an authorized Renogy dealer, your coverage is valid from day one. These batteries also pair naturally with Renogy charging equipment such as the 320W N-type monocrystalline panel 4-pack.

Cold-Weather Charging, Explained

Lithium iron phosphate cells should not be charged below freezing, which is why many lithium banks in unheated compartments sit unusable all winter. The CORE Series addresses this directly: per Renogy, the self-heating function activates at 32°F so the battery can warm its cells and accept a charge, and the BMS enforces low-temperature cut-offs for both charging and discharging if conditions move outside safe limits. There are no battery blankets to wire up or remember to switch on.

Warranty & Support

Renogy backs the CORE Series with a 5-year prorated material and workmanship warranty (see Renogy's warranty terms). OffGrid Horizon is a family-owned authorized Renogy dealer — if anything comes up, call us at (302) 496-3554 and we will help you work through it, from troubleshooting to warranty claims.

Shipping

Because of its weight, this 2-pack ships within the US by LTL freight on a pallet. The carrier will typically call ahead to schedule a curbside delivery. Before signing the delivery receipt, count the packages and inspect for visible damage — note anything you find on the receipt or refuse the damaged piece. This keeps your claim options intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these batteries charge below freezing?

Yes. Per Renogy, the self-heating function activates at 32°F and the rated charge temperature range extends down to -4°F. The BMS also enforces low-temperature cut-offs to protect the cells.

How many batteries can I combine?

Per Renogy, up to 4 in series, 4 in parallel, or 16 total in a series-parallel bank (61.44kWh maximum). All batteries must be the same model and generation.

How much energy does this 2-pack store?

Renogy rates a full 16-battery bank at 61.44kWh, which works out to 3.84kWh per battery — about 7.68kWh for this 2-pack.

Do they have Bluetooth monitoring?

No. Per Renogy, this model is not compatible with the Bluetooth module; Renogy recommends a 500A shunt-based battery monitor (sold separately) for state-of-charge readings.

What charger settings should I use?

Use a lithium (LI) charge profile with a 14.4V charge voltage, per Renogy. Most Renogy charge controllers and inverter chargers include a lithium preset.

Can I mix these with my existing lead-acid or older lithium batteries?

No. Renogy specifies that banked batteries be the same model and generation. Mixing chemistries or generations leads to imbalance and can damage the batteries.

What size inverter will two batteries support?

Each battery supports 200A of continuous discharge, so two in parallel support up to 400A — roughly 4,800W of draw at 12V. Size your inverter, fusing, and cabling accordingly and confirm against the user manual.
