Renology batteries

[Capt Helges]

Has anyone used Renology AGM batteries?
I'm looking to buy 4 more AGM batteries for my 51 Defever poc and saw they are half what I just paid for my lifeline AGM batteries and are advertised as direct replacements?
Thanks

Renogy has a wide product line of electrical stuff for boats and RVs. I have had good luck with them.

No one knows how long anything made today/this year will last, just guesses. Same with opinions on good/bad are based on past usuage, not current model.
I have 8 Renogy 100Ah LFP for almost 2 years and still happy with performance. After research the Will Prowse disection and approval closed the deal.

ETA: But buying them today may offer different opinions. As we all know once a successful product North American product is farmed out to chinese cheaper construction, quality suffers.

Rod Collins is highly respected in the community. In the past, like me, he doesn't have much good to say about Renogy.

However.......@DavidM has my respect. He's pushed back on me about Renogy in the past. He hasn't converted me, but has softened my stance. That said, I look to Will Prowse YouTube reviews for dependable information as he has a large following who feedback information in addition to his tear downs (not sure if he's ever done a renogy test down). Tough to argue against that.

Amazon has the Renology 100ah for $189. I just bought a pair of no name dual purpose 900cca 95ah AGM’s for $149each. That includes shipping. I can’t even buy FLA this cheap.

My house is LFP. These batteries are for my thruster bank.

I would pretty much take Rods opinions to the bank. He does great work. Marinehowto.com
