Renogy Core 48V 50Ah self-heating LiFePO4 battery, 2 pack

Product Description

This 2-pack of Renogy Core 48V 50Ah self-heating lithium iron phosphate batteries builds a 4,800Wh (4.8kWh) 48V bank — the efficient, low-current backbone for a cabin, shed, or small off-grid home. Each battery carries a 6,000+ cycle rating per Renogy, heats itself for charging below 32°F, and wears a sealed IP65-rated housing.

Who This Is For

Choose this pair if you are building a 48V system: off-grid cabins, sheds, pump houses, and backup banks paired with a 48V inverter charger such as the Renogy 48V 3500W pure sine wave solar inverter charger. At 48V, a 3,500W load draws only about 73A — well within this pair's 100A combined continuous discharge — which keeps cables thinner and losses lower than any 12V equivalent.

Key Features

  • Two 48V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries — 100Ah and 4,800Wh connected in parallel
  • More than 6,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge and 80% end of life, per Renogy
  • Self-heating engages automatically for safe charging below 32°F, per Renogy
  • 50A maximum continuous charge and discharge per battery
  • Parallel expansion up to 8 batteries for a 19.2kWh maximum bank, per Renogy
  • Built-in BMS protection in a sealed IP65-rated ABS housing
  • 51.4 lb per battery — one-person handling for a 2,400Wh module

Why Renogy

Renogy's Core series applies its LiFePO4 platform to modular 48V storage that scales one battery at a time. OffGrid Horizon is a family-owned authorized Renogy dealer — both batteries carry Renogy's US warranty and our direct support.

Building a 48V Bank

These batteries parallel at 48V — no series stringing to design, no midpoint balancing to worry about. Start with this pair for 4.8kWh, then add identical batteries as loads grow, up to 8 in parallel and 19.2kWh per Renogy. Keep interconnect cables equal in length and gauge, land the main system cables diagonally across the bank for even current sharing, and bring new batteries to a matching state of charge before connecting. A 48V bank pairs naturally with 48V inverter chargers and keeps current — and copper costs — to a quarter of an equivalent 12V system.

Warranty & Support

Per Renogy, each battery carries a 5-year prorated material and workmanship warranty in the US — register both with Renogy after purchase. OffGrid Horizon is family-owned and an authorized Renogy dealer; call (302) 496-3554 for help matching charge parameters to your inverter.

Shipping

Combined weight is about 103 lb, so this order may ship as two parcels or on a freight pallet within the United States. For freight deliveries, inspect the packaging before signing the delivery receipt and note any damage with the driver. Report problems to us immediately — do not install a damaged battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a 48V or 51.2V battery?
Renogy rates the Core series at 48V nominal with 2,400Wh per battery. It is designed for standard 48V inverters and charge equipment with LiFePO4-compatible settings.

Does it have Bluetooth or an app?
No. Per Renogy's specifications, this model has no built-in Bluetooth and no communication port. Monitoring is typically handled at the inverter or with a shunt-based battery monitor.

How does cold-weather charging work?
Per Renogy, internal heating pads warm the cells automatically so the battery can charge safely below 32°F. Discharge is supported down to -4°F.

What inverter size can the pair support?
Combined continuous discharge is 100A, which at 48V supports roughly 4,800W. A 3,500W 48V inverter charger draws about 73A at full output, leaving comfortable margin.

Can I add more batteries later?
Yes — parallel up to 8 total (19.2kWh) per Renogy. Add the identical model and equalize state of charge before connecting.

Why choose 48V over 12V for a cabin?
Four times the voltage means one quarter the current for the same power: thinner cables, smaller fuses, less voltage drop, and better inverter efficiency at higher loads.
