4.8KWH
of Energy
Renogy 100A Lithium Battery with Bluetooth weighs only half of the lead-acid counterparts, and the battery can be safely discharged to 80% DOD. This solution will provide you with 4.8kWh of energy, leading to energy independence.
5YEARS+
of Usage
State-of-the-art battery cells ensure a lifespan of more than 2000 cycles, which delivers up to 4 times longer than a lead-acid battery. With minimum 5 years of lifespan, Renogy LiFePO4 battery is thin and light with immense power.
600W
Solar Panels
Featuring six of our 100W panels, you get 600W solar power in total. With EL-tested solar modules, no hot-spot heating is guaranteed. Bypass diodes minimize power drop caused by shade.TPT back sheet ensures smooth performance over a long period.
2WAYS
to Charge
This solution allows you to recharge your batteries with your start battery and solar panels, or you can combine input charging methods to maximize the charging time and get fully charged within 7.5 hours.
