{"product_id":"renogy-core-mini-lifepo4-12-8v-lithium-house-battery","title":"Renogy Core Mini LiFePO4 12.8V Lithium House Battery","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Renogy Core Mini is a 12.8V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) house battery built for overlanding rigs, teardrop trailers, compact RVs, and kayak fishing setups where battery compartment space is tight. An IP65-rated enclosure, built-in low-temperature charging cut-off, and vibration-resistant metal cell spacers make it suited to rough-road and all-weather use. The Core Mini is available in 100Ah, 200Ah, and 300Ah capacities; detailed specifications below reflect the 100Ah variant, which is the smallest 12.8V 100Ah LFP battery in Renogy's lineup at Group 22NF size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Footprint, Multi-Orientation Mounting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Core Mini's Group 22NF form factor (9.02 x 5.43 x 8.39 in for the 100Ah) is designed for battery bays and compartments where a full-size group battery will not fit. Multi-orientation mounting means the battery can be positioned to match the available space in a van build, trailer tongue box, or under-seat compartment rather than forcing a single fixed orientation. Allow 2–4 inches of clearance above the battery and 8 inches on the busbar side for safe installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Temperature Cut-Off for Winter Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Core Mini includes built-in low-temperature charging protection that prevents the battery from accepting a charge below 32°F (0°C). Charging a lithium iron phosphate cell below freezing can cause permanent internal damage; the cut-off removes that risk without requiring an external controller setting or manual intervention. Discharge remains available down to -4°F (-20°C), so the battery can still power loads in cold conditions even when charging is suspended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e5000-Cycle Lifespan and 300A Peak Surge (100Ah Variant)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100Ah Core Mini is rated for 5000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge before reaching 80% end-of-life capacity. That cycle rating represents a meaningful lifespan advantage over lead-acid batteries in the same footprint. A 300A peak discharge current (5-second surge) supports high-demand appliance start-up, such as a compressor fridge or trolling motor, without the battery management system tripping under the inrush load. Maximum continuous charge and discharge current for the 100Ah variant is 100A each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e dust-tight and water-jet resistant enclosure for all-weather durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Low-Temperature Cut-Off:\u003c\/strong\u003e suspends charging below 32°F (0°C) to protect cell integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibration-Resistant Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal cell spacers prevent internal cell movement on rough terrain or choppy water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Orientation Mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e installs in multiple positions to fit tight or unconventional battery bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries and Parallel Expandability:\u003c\/strong\u003e supports up to 4S4P configuration;
