Overview

Renogy Pro Series 12.8V 500Ah Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

The Renogy Pro Series 12.8V 500Ah Smart LiFePO4 Battery uses a proprietary housing material in a smaller, space-saving size — ideal for RVs, solar setups, trolling motors, wind and marine applications, camping, and off-grid systems. Weighing only about one third of sealed lead-acid (SLA) counterparts, it can be safely discharged to 80% Depth of Discharge (DOD), delivering roughly twice the usable energy.

Manufactured with automotive-grade battery cells, it meets the highest safety standards and offers an extended 3500+ cycle life, while its smart Battery Management System (BMS) provides comprehensive protection and real-time monitoring through the Renogy DC Home app.

  • Up to 200A continuous charge / 250A continuous discharge
  • Intelligent self-heating function for cold-weather charging
  • Smart BMS with multiple protections and alarms
  • Real-time monitoring via the Renogy DC Home app
  • IP65-rated, vibration-resistant construction
  • Supports up to 8 batteries in parallel (12.8V 4000Ah / 51.2kWh)
  • Tailored for caravan and motorhome under-seat installations
  • 5-year warranty; FCC, CE, ROHS, and UKCA certified

Why Choose LiFePO4 Over Lead-Acid?

Lithium Iron Phosphate delivers greater energy density, deeper discharge capability, higher round-trip efficiency, and faster charging — all in a smaller, lighter package. Safely discharging to 80% DOD gives you roughly twice the usable energy of a comparable lead-acid battery, while the far longer cycle life means a lower cost per cycle over the battery’s lifetime.

  • Twice the usable energy at 80% DOD
  • Around one third the weight of lead-acid
  • Faster charging and higher efficiency
  • 3500+ cycles for long-term value

Intelligent Self-Heating for Cold Climates

A built-in heater operates automatically at low temperatures to keep the battery charging safely — assuring charging performance in cold conditions and helping to extend battery lifespan. Low-temperature protection prevents charging below 0°C and discharging below -20°C for added safety.

Smart BMS & App Monitoring

The smart Battery Management System provides comprehensive protection through multiple safeguards and alarms, guarding against over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, and temperature extremes. Pair it with the Renogy DC Home app (or a Renogy 300A Battery Shunt) to monitor voltage, current, capacity, and battery health in real time from your phone.

Best-in-Class Capacity & Easy Expansion

With a maximum capacity of over 500Ah (up to 530Ah), this battery is built for longer-lasting applications. It supports up to 8 batteries in parallel, delivering a maximum of 12.8V 4000Ah at 51.2kWh — so you can scale your bank as your energy needs grow.

Reliable Protection, Built for RVs

Designed with a sturdy internal structure for RV use and a vibration-resistant, IP65-rated build, the battery is tailored for compatibility with caravan and motorhome chassis and under-seat installations — delivering all-weather
