Introduction
The Renogy Core Series 12.8V 100Ah Deep Cycle Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery is designed for the drop-in
replacement of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with its standard Battery Council International (BCI) group size.
Weighing only half of the lead-acid counterparts, the battery can be safely discharged to 100% Depth of
Discharge (DOD), delivering twice the energy. Manufactured with automotive grade battery cells, the battery
features the highest safety standards and an extended 5000+ cycle life. In addition, the reliable Battery
Management System (BMS) provides comprehensive protection to the battery.
Key Features
zUnparalleled Performance
Features a greater energy density, a deeper discharge capability, a higher round-trip eiciency, and a
faster charging speed in a smaller size over counterparts in the market.
zUncompromising Quality
Ensures an exceptional lifespan with more than 5000 cycles (80% DOD), a continuous charge/discharge
current of 100A, and a wide range of operating temperatures with the automotive grade battery cells.
zReliable Protection Mechanisms
Designed with a sturdy internal structure for RV use, and includes multiple levels of protection such as
low temperature cut-o and precise balancing through the battery management system.
zHigher Capacity than Competitors
106Ah instead of 100Ah, for a longer-lasting application.
zEasy to Expand
Upgrades to lithium batteries seamlessly with the standard BCI group sizes; up to 16 batteries in 4 series
and 4 parallels system connection delivering a maximum of 48V (51.2V) 400Ah with 20.48 kWh.

How to Size Battery Adapter Cables?
Use appropriately sized Battery Adapter Cables (sold separately) based on expected load. Refer to the table
below for copper cable ampacities with dierent gauge sizes.
Cable Gauge Size Ampacity Cable Gauge Size Ampacity
14 AWG (2.08 mm) 35A 2 AWG (33.6 mm) 190A
12 AWG (3.31 mm) 40A 1 AWG (42.4 mm) 220A
10 AWG (5.25 mm) 55A 1/0 AWG (53.5 mm) 260A
8 AWG (8.36 mm) 80A 2/0 AWG (67.4 mm) 300A
6 AWG (13.3 mm) 105A 4/0 AWG (107 mm) 405A
4 AWG (21.1 mm) 140A
The above values are from the NEC Table 310.17 for copper cables rated at 194°F (90°C), operating
at an ambient temperature of no more than 86°F (30°C). Cables longer than 13 feet (4000 mm) may
require thicker gauge wires to prevent excessive voltage drop in undersized wiring.
Fix the Battery to a Position (Optional)
Securing the battery prevents damage to the battery from loose cables and bumps.

Step 1. Plan a Mounting Site
For optimal battery performance, it is recommended to install the battery in a clean, cool, and dry location,
free from any accumulation of water, oil, or dirt. Accumulation of such materials on the battery can lead to
current leakage, self-discharge, and even short-circuiting.
KEEP DRY FRAGILE VENTILATION
Charge: 32°F–131°F / 0°C–55°C
Discharge: -4°F–140°F / -20°C–60°C

Step 3. Remove the Dust Cover.
Step 4. Check the Battery
Inspect the battery for any visible damage including cracks, dents, deformation, and other visible
abnormalities. All connector contacts shall be clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry.
Do not touch the exposed electrolyte or powder if the battery is damaged.
If uncovered electrolyte or powder contacts your skin or eyes, flush it out immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical attention.
Step 5. Run the Battery Adapter Cables Through the Insulating Sleeves
