      "drop-in replacement of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries"

          i'm confused.
          it's a battery which uses Lithium Iron Phosphate to store 200ah of power and ouput at 12V.
          it's very common to use batteries for more than one application, as manufacturers try to make them in "standard" form factors and sizes.

        • virtual81 on 17/11/2021 - 10:50

          Exactly, the same as 9v Batteries are only for smoke detectors and AA's are only for TV remotes.

      I purchased it to put inside my canopy for camping. If you combine this with a fridge (bushman’s) you will get roughly 4 days before the battery is empty

    Not to sure what "5-years prorated warranty" is

    From last time: prorated explanation

    Pretty entertaining thread in general really

    • ATangk on 17/11/2021 - 00:25

      pretty shifty tbh…

      • FLICKIT on 17/11/2021 - 06:16
        +1

        Yeh, it is.. the warranty seems really shady in general…

        If the battery only has a capacity of 100AH after 2 years it seems you're probably out of luck… if it fails all together after 2 years it seems you'll have to pay them 2/5 of the new price and they will replace it… why would anyone want to pay more money to replace a failed product with another the same that will probably fail in the same timeframe…

        $1200 for a battery, it would be wise to purchase from an Aussie company with an Aussie warranty that's backed up by ACL…

        If it was a $300 battery I can understand people taking a gamble, but to take the same gamble on $1200 seems a bit silly….

          An Australian warranty is usually only 12 months, any warranty you get on a product exceeding this is usually something stipulated by the manufacturer unless you're buying an extended one.

            +2

            @lulzenberg: No the warranty will take into account the cost as well. It’s not always black and white. eg if you spend 5k on a laptop you’d expect to be covered longer than a $500 laptop and ACL will back you up

            • lulzenberg on 17/11/2021 - 09:13
              +2

              @beatsntoons: What i'm saying is, any warranty you see mentioned is offered by the manufacturer. If you see shops offering more than 12 months, it's because the manufacturer is offering that. Manufacturers know they need to offer a minimum of 12 months to sell in Australia, so that is what is offered across the board. When you see things like ozito's 3-5 year warranty, it's because they, the manufacturer, are offering it.

              Even on things with these large warranties, good luck getting that warranty to cover the battery beyond defects with it. The life of a battery is determined by the amount it is used. Renogy's warranty is about it's use and probably the best warranty you'll find on a battery with proof that it's been honoured by the manufacturer.

              If anyone has a link to a battery with a better warranty than this, that has actually been honoured, I'd be very interested.

              If you buy a 5k laptop and the battery doesn't hold 100% charge after 2 years, you're not getting a new laptop, nor a replacement battery, because it is well known that batteries degrade over time.

              • stewface on 17/11/2021 - 21:09

                @lulzenberg: Except an apple laptop, I’ve had several old batteries replaced in my day after hammering them for years and years.

                This was usually in the 2-3yr of the laptops life.

                • lulzenberg on 18/11/2021 - 07:21

                  @stewface: If Apple replaces a battery for not having the same battery life 2-3 years down the track as it did new, that is pretty amazing. I would assume it would have been under Apple Care for that kind of service?

        • JordanSewell on 17/11/2021 - 07:58

          Yeah the warranty is confusing. Going off one of darryls video where the battery failed. He was given a replacement by renogy at no cost. Not sure how often they do this and or whether there is a fee normally

          • lulzenberg on 18/11/2021 - 07:48

            @JordanSewell: Looking at the warranty, if it fails within 12 months, it's replaced at no charge. If it fails after that, the prorated amount kicks in.

            "substantial defects in material or workmanship and performance and follows the guidelines of the Limited Warranty with the addition of the following table detailing exchange costs for warranty replacements for prorated warranty items"

            With something like a LiFePO4, It would be a very rare occasion that a workmanship/material defect wouldn't show it's head within the first 12 months (or really even the first few months) if you're using it. You essentially end up with a way to replace the battery with a new one at a lesser price if the capacity some-how dips below 80% (you'd need to cycle it more than once a day to reach the 5000 cycle guarantee point). I don't know of any other batteries with this kind of option, and if you are using it on a caravan/tiny home/off-grid setup, having that be an option seems pretty good.

            If anyone does come across a better warranty that people have had honoured, i'd jump on that for sure.

            • FLICKIT on 18/11/2021 - 11:17

              @lulzenberg:

              "if the capacity some-how dips below 80%"

              Where did you read the 80%…

              It does say:
              Exclusions and Limitations for Batteries
              The warranty does not cover… …. deficient energy supply,

              • lulzenberg on 18/11/2021 - 11:20

                @FLICKIT: the 2000 cycles 80% DOD is listed on the battery specs, also energy supply would refer to the output of 50amps, not the storage

                Exclusions and Limitations for Batteries
                The warranty does not cover failures result from incorrect handling, product modifications, installation,
                conversion or additions, supplements, operation, natural elements (weather), excessive or deficient energy
                supply, chemicals, the effect of solid bodies or deliberate damage.

                It's talking about failures caused by not supplying it with enough energy while charging, i.e. using a bad/faulty/not made to suit charger.

                • FLICKIT on 18/11/2021 - 11:30

                  @lulzenberg: Ahhh ok…

                  "the 2000 cycles 80% DOD is listed on the battery specs"

                  Do they actually cover that with the warranty though? it's very unclear… I guess they would probably just say: "it must be how you used it so it's not covered"

                  • lulzenberg on 18/11/2021 - 11:31

                    @FLICKIT: That's what it is rated to do, if you get less than 80% DOD within 2000 cycles (basically 5.5 years at once a day) that would be a warranty claim. If it happened within the first year, replaced for free, after that, the prorated $$ would kick in.

                    I'm not sure about the hate renogy receives here, but they are one of the better quality battery makers and the go-to for many DIY tiny home/solar/off-grid channels that don't do sponsored content.

                    • FLICKIT on 18/11/2021 - 11:39

                      @lulzenberg: I certainly don't hate them, I'm in the market for a new deep cycle battery to replace the existing one in my campervan, and I want to ensure I get the best I can for my money, and not buy a lemon…

                      Their warranty document talks about performance warranty for solar panels but not for batteries, which is why I'm quite sceptical about them covering it…

                      • lulzenberg on 18/11/2021 - 11:43

                        @FLICKIT: Renogy is definitely one of the better manufacturers and if you were to reach out to them with your worries i'm sure they would reply.

                        If you really want to do a deep dive into it, Will Prowse is pretty good:

                        https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoj6RxIAQq8kmJme-5dnN0Q

                        @FLICKIT: My decision was based on price, enderdriive look great but the price put me off. For similar money I could get a enderdrive 100/125a. 200a is overkill but Atleast if it degrades overtime I will still be happy if it holds 150a

    Does anyone actually own one to give feedback on this? I'm in the market for a lithium battery for my campervan. Do I need a special charger for this? Have a Redarc 40A at the moment.

    • JordanSewell on 17/11/2021 - 10:55

      It is a new product so barely any reviews on the 200a which sucks

    • Cpt Archer on 17/11/2021 - 14:20

      redarc should charge this on lithium mode, there is nothing special or unique on this battery

        Great, I don't want to spend more onto of an already expansive battery. From memory I think it supported three type of battery Led Acid, GEL and AGM.

        • Cpt Archer on 17/11/2021 - 14:28

    Oof, I just spent the same amount of money on a Bluetti EB70… yeah okay, it's got more "tech" so that has a cost, but it's only a 716Wh battery. (https://www.bluettipower.com.au/products/bluetti-eb70-portab…) currently being sold at a higher price than I got it for on Friday.
    Perfect for my needs though. Wish I had the time to get one of these and build a box with inverter and other ports. And make it actually look nice as well, not those plastic power boxes from BCF etc.
    Anywho, Ted Talk over, this is a good deal, upvote from me.

    • JordanSewell on 17/11/2021 - 11:34

      Yeah getting the power boxe aswell from either bcf for kings. I once I install it I will test it out and post here my feedback

    • gtech on 17/11/2021 - 20:08

      • beatsntoons on 17/11/2021 - 22:09

        it should be at double the price, lol
        plus that's not even LiFEPO4. This deal and the Bluetti have more charge/discharge cycles (up to 5 times as many)

    A top quality 12.8V-100Ah lfp battery will cost 800 to 1000 these days, if you paying half of this, you will compromise on someting, mostly cell quality, display, bluetooth, warranty etc.

  • noz on 17/11/2021 - 16:58

    Decent capacity, but being unable to place multiple of these batteries in series is a bit of a bummer. 12V requires thicker wires and usually other associated equipment more expensive compared to 24V.

    So here is my experience with Renogy; it is not a positive one. I would say communication is poor to say the least.

    No Australian phone number.

    you get charged an international transaction fee even though it is an “Australian Store”.

    Email response are hit and miss.

    Instead of being posted to my address items were sent to a post office (first time ever).

    Shipping was extremely delayed with misleading shipment days.

    If had my way again I would of just paid the more for a enerdrive battery.

    Learn from my experience ozbargainers. If Renogy sees this, step up your game
