  "summary": "12V (12.8 V nominal) 300 Ah self-heating LiFePO4 battery, 27.5 kg, the largest capacity indexed here. 200 A continuous charge and discharge, a 390 A 5-second surge, 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, IP65, and self-heating that allows charging down to -20 C.",
  "description": "This is Renogy's Core Series 12V 300Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, the largest single battery indexed here and the self-heating member of the Core line. It is rated 300 Ah at 0.5C and 25 C, at a 12.8 V nominal, in a 27.5 kg case. Its 200 A battery management system holds continuous charge and discharge to 200 A each and allows a 390 A surge for 5 seconds, and Renogy rates it for 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge. A self-heating function lets it accept charge down to -20 C, where a non-heated LiFePO4 pack must refuse charge below freezing. It is IP65 rated with M8 terminals torqued to 10 to 12 N m, expands to 4S4P, and carries a 5-year prorated material and workmanship warranty. Renogy publishes no watt-hour figure for a single battery, only bank totals in the manual's wiring diagrams, so no energy rating is recorded here.",

METHOD NOTE worth reusing: Renogy's on-page spec tab is JS-hydrated and EMPTY in raw HTML, so a plain curl fetch returns a false 'unpublished' verdict on nearly every field. The manual PDF is the reliable source for this brand's larger batteries. capacityWh is null: Renogy states no single-battery energy figure anywhere; the manual's wiring diagrams give bank totals only (for example a 2P bank at 600 Ah and 7,680 Wh), and dividing that down would be computation rather than a sourced claim. usableDoDPercent is null: a 100% DoD claim appears only in introductory marketing prose, while the rated cycle life is quoted at 80% DoD, the same treatment applied to the other records here. bciGroupSize is null: the manual claims the battery has a 'standard Battery Council International (BCI) group size' but never names it, and inferring one from the case dimensions would be a guess. bmsRatingA of 200 A comes from FAQ prose rather than a spec row, which is why it is the softest field in the record. TWO CONFLICTS PRESERVED, not resolved: (1) self-heating element power is given as 90 W in the manual and 200 W on the product page, likely a hardware revision since the manual is VERSION B0; selfHeating is recorded true and both figures are cited here rather than either being published as the value. (2) the parallel limit is given as 4S4P in the spec row and FAQ, while a manual wiring diagram shows an 8-battery parallel bank at 2,400 Ah; maxInParallel records the spec-row value of 4 and the diagram is noted here.",

Distinct also from the 12 V Core 50Ah, 100Ah Core Mini and 200Ah Bluetooth Core indexed here, and from the 24 V Core LT.",
