Bluetooth monitoring via the DC Home app makes it easy to check battery status from your phone, while the integrated Battery Management System (BMS) provides built-in protection and cell balancing during charging. It also supports expansion up to 4S4P, making it suitable for 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V battery banks when you need more voltage or capacity.

Key Features

  • 200Ah deep-cycle LiFePO4 capacity with 2.56kWh nominal energy for long runtimes.
  • 5000 cycles at 80% DOD (0.5C, 25°C) for frequent cycling in touring and solar storage setups.
  • High current handling with 200A continuous discharge and 400A peak discharge (10 seconds) for demanding 12V loads.
  • Integrated BMS with protections for overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, and temperature limits, plus cell balancing during charging.
  • Bluetooth monitoring through the DC Home app for real-time battery information, plus optional gateway options depending on your monitoring setup.
  • Excellent trolling motor battery option thanks to deep-cycle capacity, stable voltage delivery, and support for series wiring for 24V, 36V, and 48V trolling motor systems.

Why Choose Renogy Core Series 200Ah?

If you are building a system where current draw and runtime matter, the numbers on this battery are practical. The 200A continuous discharge rating supports higher-demand 12V loads like inverters and busy accessory systems, while the 14.4V charge voltage keeps charger settings straightforward across compatible AC chargers, DC-DC chargers, and MPPT solar controllers.

For anglers, it is also a strong trolling motor battery choice. Deep-cycle LiFePO4 chemistry helps deliver steady voltage for consistent thrust, the 200Ah capacity supports long sessions on the water, and series capability lets you build 24V, 36V, or 48V trolling motor banks using matching batteries. The IP65 rating and internal protections help suit marine environments when installed with sound wiring practices and secure connections.

Usage and System Design
Q: What is the Renogy Core 12.8V 200Ah LiFePO4 battery designed for?
It is designed for deep-cycle energy storage in 12V systems such as caravans, RVs, 4WD touring setups, marine house loads, and off-grid solar. It suits setups that are regularly cycled and need stable voltage delivery over long run times.
Q: Is this battery a good choice for a trolling motor?
Yes. A trolling motor can draw sustained current for long periods, and this battery is built for deep-cycle use with strong continuous discharge capability. LiFePO4 chemistry also helps maintain steadier voltage under load for more consistent thrust.
Q: Can I build a 24V, 36V, or 48V trolling motor bank with these batteries?
Yes. Wire matching batteries in series to increase system voltage. Use 2 batteries for 24V, 3 batteries for 36V, and 4 batteries for 48V. Always confirm your trolling motor voltage requirement and size cables and protection to suit the motor’s maximum current draw.
Q: Can I connect this battery in series or parallel for a larger system?
Yes. This model supports series and parallel connections up to 4S4P. That means up to 4 batteries in series and up to 4 parallel strings, for up to 16 batteries total when installed correctly with matched batteries and balanced connections.
Charging and Output
Q: What charging voltage should I use for this LiFePO4 battery?
Use a compatible LiFePO4 or lithium charging profile where possible. The specified charge voltage is 14.4V for a single 12V battery. Avoid lead-acid equalisation modes.
Q: How much current can it deliver for high draw loads?
It is rated for up to 200A continuous discharge, with up to 400A peak discharge for 10 seconds. For inverters and trolling motors, confirm expected current draw and use appropriately sized cables, lugs, and protection devices.
BMS and Monitoring
Q: What protections does the built-in BMS provide?
The internal Battery Management System helps protect the battery from overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, and out of range temperatures. It also performs cell balancing during charging to support long-term performance.
Q: How do I monitor the battery with Bluetooth?
Use the Renogy DC Home app and connect via Bluetooth when you are near the battery. Bluetooth is intended for short-range monitoring, so keep your phone close during setup and checks.
Environment and Marine
Q: What are the operating temperature limits for charging and discharging?
Charging is specified from 0°C to 50°C. Discharging is specified from -20°C to 55°C. If the battery is outside these limits, the protection system may restrict charging or discharging to protect the cells.
Q: Is it suitable for marine use, and is it waterproof?
It is rated IP65, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets, but it is not designed for submersion. For marine and trolling motor installations, mount it in a protected location, keep terminals covered, and ensure all connections are secure.
