Which LiFePO4 Battery Is Right for Car Camping? New Renogy 12V 100Ah Core Mini VS 100Ah Pro

[@GirdlerFamilyOverland]

Great run down! I think Renogy often gets overlooked for the red brand, but they seem like a top choice to me.

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Thank you! I agree. As technology advances there certainly are plenty of options that provide great solutions to power needs. We have ran Renogy in our truck and honestly it has done everything we needed it for.

Sponsor! Nice. Love it

[@FreysOnTheSide]

You guest it. I tried to be transparent as possible. Since I was already running their system previously and have generally been pleased. I thought it was a good fit.

Thanks Matt, great info. Was there any info regarding safety and resistance to fire, and off gassing? Which is my primary concern regarding lithium batteries, especially in close proximity to Humans. and were their any cautions regarding High Temperatures as to what they could be safely operated at, such as in desert area's? Great post!

Good info - thanks.

Johnny on the spot! I wasn’t expecting a comment that quick. Thank you!

@ I’m heavily invested in the EcoFlow ecosystem with portable powerstations now but like to keep educated with the built in component systems too for the future.

[@FreysOnTheSide]

EcoFlow is another good brand and totally get the “down the rabbit hole” of a specific brand. I find myself there all too often. There is a small OSD part of me that loves everything to match …as much as possible.

if connected in series do they need to be balanced? for a 24 volt system?

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Yes. I believe it is always recommended you balance your batteries regardless of series or parallel systems.
