In this video, we review Renogy's 100Ah Mini CORE LiFePO4 Battery. We're swapping out the 50Ah LFP Battery that ran our 12V ICECO refrigerator in the back of our truck and replacing it with this small and powerful 100Ah version. Let's put it through some paces.
We'll be charging this battery through the 50A DC to DC Charger with MPPT that we just installed last month. See that installation video here.

What We Like About this Battery
1. High Capacity in a Small Package. At just a bit bigger than our 50Ah LFP battery, it has twice the capacity (50Ah @ .19 cubic feet vs. 100Ah @ .22 cubic feet).
2. Series or Parallel Configurations Possible. Achieve the voltage, amperage, and capacity you need between 12V – 48V.
3. Very Lightweight for a High-Capacity Battery. At just under 22 pounds, this battery is 42 pounds lighter than most other 100Ah lead acid batteries, and even a few pounds lighter than other Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
4. Easy Bluetooth Monitoring. This battery can be combined with the Renogy Battery Shunt 300 and the Renogy ONE Core monitor for easy Bluetooth monitoring.
5. Vibration Resistant. With it's location in the back of our truck it needs to be resilient.
6. Low Temperature Charging Protection. Since our battery will be exposed to very cold temperatures during winter months in the back of our truck, the auto low temperature shut off will keep the battery from getting damaged.
7. Long Lasting. This battery can give up to 5000 cycles, which could last up to 12-13 years with proper usage and care.
