Product Description

This two-pack of Renogy Core Mini 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 batteries delivers a 12V 600Ah (7,680Wh) bank from two compact, 55.1 lb batteries. Each one carries low-temperature charge protection, a 200A continuous discharge rating, and a case that fits where taller 300Ah batteries will not.

Who This Bank Is For

A 600Ah bank is the sweet spot for many couples living in RVs and camper vans, and for weekend cabins running a refrigerator, lights, water pump, and a mid-size inverter. Two batteries also mean each unit stays at a manageable 55.1 lb during installation. The built-in protection blocks charging below 32°F to protect the cells, which covers shoulder-season cold; if you must recharge during extended hard freezes, look to Renogy's self-heating models instead.

Why Renogy

Renogy is an established maker of off-grid solar and battery equipment, and publishes test and safety documentation for this battery (MSDS, UN38.3, FCC, CE, PSE, RCM, RoHS, UKCA). Its batteries, charge controllers, inverters, and monitoring hardware are specified to work together, which keeps system design and support straightforward.

Cold Weather, Explained

These batteries use low-temperature charge protection rather than heating. Below 32°F the BMS disconnects the charge circuit so cold cells are not damaged; charging resumes automatically once the battery warms to about 41°F, per Renogy. Discharge keeps working down to -4°F, so loads stay powered in the cold — you just cannot recharge until the battery warms. For recharging during sustained sub-freezing weather, Renogy's self-heating and DuoHeat models warm their own cells; this model does not.

System Fit & Expansion

In parallel, the pair delivers up to 400A combined, which feeds the Renogy REGO 3000W 12V inverter charger with LCD display at full output with headroom to spare. Charge sources should stay within 150A per battery; the Renogy 800W solar kit with REGO 60A MPPT controller is a matched starting array, and a DC-DC charger handles alternator charging. Per Renogy, the platform expands to 4 in series or 4 in parallel and up to 4S4P (48V 1,200Ah / 61.44kWh) — series banks change system voltage and require equipment rated for it. More options live in our Renogy collection.

Warranty & Support

Per Renogy, each battery carries a 5-year prorated material and workmanship warranty. OffGrid Horizon is a family-owned authorized Renogy dealer, so purchases here are eligible for Renogy US warranty service. Call us at (302) 496-3554 — we help size, wire, and troubleshoot.

Shipping

At about 110 lb of batteries, this two-pack ships as heavy freight — typically LTL on a pallet within the US. Inspect the pallet before signing the delivery receipt; note any damage with the driver and call us at (302) 496-3554.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add these to my existing battery bank? Renogy recommends banks built from identical batteries of similar age and state of charge. Do not mix with lead-acid or different lithium models.

Can I charge from my vehicle's alternator? Yes, through a DC-DC charger with a LiFePO4 profile, sized within 150A per battery. Do not wire directly to the alternator.

What charger profile should I use? A lithium (LiFePO4) profile within the battery's 10V to 14.8V operating range, per Renogy. Flooded or AGM lead-acid profiles may not charge these fully or correctly.

How should I store them over winter? Disconnect loads and chargers, store within -4°F to 140°F at a partial state of charge, and top up periodically per the Renogy manual.

Will they charge below freezing? No — by design. The BMS blocks charging at 32°F and below and resumes around 41°F. Discharge continues to -4°F.

Is it safe to install them indoors? LiFePO4 batteries do not off-gas during normal operation the way flooded lead-acid batteries do, so enclosed compartments are common installs. Follow the Renogy manual's mounting and clearance guidance.

How do I monitor state of charge? No Bluetooth is built in; use an external shunt-based battery monitor at the bank's negative terminal.
