  "summary": "12 V 100 Ah AGM sealed lead-acid deep-cycle battery, 29 kg. Rated 100 Ah at the 10-hour rate, about 500 cycles at 50% depth of discharge, 30 A maximum charge current, and no battery management system. The lead-acid baseline: cheaper up front, heavier, and far fewer cycles than LiFePO4.",
  "description": "This is Renogy's Deep Cycle AGM 12V 100Ah battery: a valve-regulated sealed lead-acid (AGM) block rather than a lithium one. It is rated 100 Ah at the 10-hour discharge rate to a 10.5 V cutoff, at a 12 V nominal. Being lead-acid, it has no battery management system: charge and discharge limits are set by the chemistry, not by electronics. Renogy rates it for about 500 cycles at 50% depth of discharge, which is the honest reason a lithium battery of the same nameplate capacity lasts far longer and can be discharged deeper. Its self-discharge is under 3% per month. Maximum continuous charge current is 30 A, cycle-use charge voltage is 14.4 to 14.8 V and float is 13.5 to 13.8 V. It can deliver a 1,100 A cranking surge for 5 seconds. It weighs 29 kg (a two-person lift, more than twice a comparable 100 Ah LiFePO4), measures 332 by 175 by 219 mm in an ABS case, and can be wired in series and in parallel up to four. It ships no charge controller or inverter: it is the storage element of a 12 V system.",

Group size, terminal spec, IP rating and warranty term are not published on the page and are left null.
