What is Reddit's opinion of Renogy Deep Cycle AGM Battery 12 Volt 200Ah, 3% Self-Discharge Rate, 2000A Max Discharge Current, Safe Charge Most Home Appliances for RV, Camping, Cabin, Marine and Off-Grid System, Maintenance-Free?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

No, no, no!

A standard marine deep cycle battery is still using lead acid technology. Its honestly terrible and very expensive

Only half of the amp hours are usable, still.

So a 200ah results in only 100 being usable

This renology 200ah battery is $379. He would need 3 of them. They are also 129 pounds each. Thats almost 400 pounds

"105Ah"

Does that mean "Amp hours"? If that's the case than a battery like this should be enough to keep me going for a few hours?

If I wanted to run the the PC+Monitor which is around 230W, it would be best to get at least 300W of solar panels, right?

I had it set to USER and didn’t change it for a year. Probably why my battery is dead now. I’m going to call Renogy and try to get a better answer. Just for reference I was using this battery

That's the battery that I use.

RockDIG 10-Pack Guage 8-5/16 Copper Wire Lugs, Battery Cable Ends, Bare Copper Eyelets Tubular Ring Terminal Connectors with Heat Shrink(Black, Red) (10 Pack, 8 AWG - 5/16" Ring/Eye) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z4C7N1G/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_941WPP5X5KY3HE1C49GT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Those are the connectors that I soldered to a length of 10 gauge battery cable with an xt60 on the other end for the charger.

I use a HOTA F6 so that I can pretty much always have batteries charging.

Why not use SLA or AGM batteries? Renogy (boo Amazon, I know I know) has 200Ah batteries for under $500. While they are heavy as hell (I have a set of these and have almost crushed myself being dumb transporting them on a dolly), even a single 200Ah battery would be able to power heaters and cooking devices. If you splurged on lithium based chemistry, you could do both at the same time pretty easily. As the max current draw for US outlets is around 1500W (15amps * 110v - losses), a 3000W inverter could run both simultaneously and still support a few more devices.

$500 on a 10Ah battery does seem a bit high when you can get 10x the storage plus an inverter for the same price, or 20x the storage for $150 more.

It's a 12v sealed lead acid battery from renogy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RGX1WR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think i had a discharge because that's what it says. The error reads "battery over discharge" and so does my renogy bluetooth app.

Mine is also a Toyota Sienna, 2005. I like it a lot so far but haven't gotten to fully test it out yet :) You're right about the weight of the battery, I don't know why I thought it was 70lbs, the weight listed on Amazon is 129 lbs: https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-Battery-Marine-Off-Grid-Applications/dp/B075RGX1WR

Also I think you might mean 100 amp hour as opposed to 100 amp
