DO NOT touch any terminals or connectors. DO NOT touch the exposed electrolyte or powder if the battery casing is damaged. Uncovered electrolyte or powder that has contacted the skin or eyes MUST be flushed out with plenty of clean water immediately. Seek medical attention afterwards. Please make sure any battery charger or charge controller has been disconnected before working on the battery.
General Information The Renogy Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery is the perfect option for off-grid energy storage systems. The 48V nominal voltage ensures low heat generation and high efficiency during high power transmission. The modular design easily scales to meet a range of configurations—making it simple to tailor your energy requirements to specific projects.

[8.46 in] 215.0 mm Additional Components Long Terminal Bolts (2) The Long Terminal Bolts (M8 x 1 x 20) are used to secure multiple cable lugs on a single battery terminal. Preparation Before the installation and operation of the battery, it is recommended to have the following equipment or tools available: Proper Protective Equipment Insulated Tool(s)
DO NOT short-circuit the battery terminals. Doing so can cause current bursts and lead to irreversible damage to the system and the battery. Please verify the polarity before connecting wiring. Reversing polarity can and will destroy the battery. Please use circuit breakers, fuses, or disconnects appropriately sized by a certified electrician, licensed installers, or regional code authorities to protect all electrical equipment.
RS485 UP Commu- nication Ports of the latter ones using CAT5 (or above) Ethernet straight through cables (not included). The Renogy Monitoring Screen or the Renogy Bluetooth Module should be connected to the RS485 UP Communication Port of the first battery.
Securing Cable Connections Please secure all cable connections to the proper specification in order to ensure good contact between the cable lugs and the terminals. Over-tightening cable connections can cause terminal breakage and loose cable connections can cause terminal meltdown or fire. Please use an insulated Philips screwdriver to tighten the cable connections.
Battery Operation DO NOT over-charge or over-discharge the battery. DO NOT discharge the battery at high temperatures above 140°F (60°C). Power Button Operation The battery can be switched between active mode and shelf mode with the Power Button. When the battery is in shelf mode, long press the Power Button for 1 second to switch the battery to active mode.

The self-heating function needs to be disabled or enabled individually on each battery in the parallel battery bank. The self-heating function will not be able to operate normally if a PWM charge controller or a small current battery charger is used to charge the battery at low temperatures. It is recommended to disable the self-heating function to prevent it from starting and stopping operation frequently and consuming the battery.
It is recommended to pair the battery with discharge equipment featuring low voltage disconnect in the system. During the standard discharging process, the battery is discharged a constant current of 10A until the battery voltage reaches 41.62V. Safe discharging requires battery temperatures between -4°F and 140°F (-20°C and 60°C).
Battery Storage Please follow these tips to ensure that your battery emerges from storage in good condition: Charge the battery to 30%~50% and switch the battery to shelf mode using the Power Button. Disconnect the battery from the discharge equipment to eliminate any potential parasitic loads that may discharge the battery.
Troubleshooting If any problems occur during battery operation, please refer to the following instructions or contact us for assistance: If the Power Button is not able to switch the battery to active mode or the battery resting voltage is under 41.62V in active mode at room temperature, the battery may have been severely over-discharged due to self-discharge or parasitic loads.
