The Core Renegade XL is a high-performance block battery system built for cinema, lighting, and broadcast professionals. It delivers scalable, portable power with real-time monitoring. With a massive 1376Wh capacity, it features an advanced full-color OLED display for detailed diagnostics. Additionally, it supports up to 30A total output, so the Renegade XL can power large LED arrays, cinema cameras, and high-draw setups without relying on AC mains or generators.
At Two Stories Media, we offer the Core Renegade XL as part of our gear rentals program. This page covers everything you need to know about this battery system. You will find technical specs, production considerations, frequently asked questions, and rental details for our Tampa location.
Core Renegade XL Product Overview
The Renegade XL is a block-style battery built around a lithium-ion cell architecture. It offers a 1376Wh capacity rated at 14.8V and 93Ah, and it comes in two configurations. The RNG-XL1 features dual 14V XLR 4-pin outputs and a 28V XLR 3-pin regulated output. It also includes a 48V Powercon regulated output, making it ideal for hybrid power setups. As a result, you can combine cameras, monitors, and lighting on a single unit. In contrast, the RNG-XL48 provides dual 48V Powercon outputs delivering up to 1440W. This configuration targets lighting-intensive applications where high-voltage draw is the primary need.
The unit features a full-color OLED display that provides real-time diagnostics. Specifically, it shows standby time estimates based on a 100W load, live runtime tracking, and precise countdown while charging. As a result, this is a significant improvement over traditional LCD displays. It gives production teams better visibility into power planning. Furthermore, the built-in LED handle provides a quick-read capacity indicator. The entire unit is built from cast and sheet aluminum, so it withstands the demands of field production and transport.
Key Specifications
The Core Renegade XL uses Li-Ion cell chemistry and offers a 1376Wh capacity at 14.8V and 93Ah. The unit measures 9.56 by 13.7 by 5.3 inches and weighs 32.8 pounds. For voltage outputs, it includes two XLR 4-pin ports at 14V (DC 11–17V), one XLR 3-pin port at 28V regulated, and one Powercon port at 48V regulated. In terms of load ratings, it handles 12A per 14V output, 12A at 28V, and 15A at 48V. Additionally, auxiliary outputs include two P-Tap ports at 10A and 14.4V unregulated, plus one USB-A port at 5V and 3A. Built-in protections cover temperature, voltage, and current with both resettable external and internal safeguards. For charging, the built-in AC charger takes about 5.5 hours at 100–240VAC and 50/60Hz. Alternatively, the optional SFQ40 rapid charger reduces charge time to roughly 2 hours.
Why Production Teams Choose the Core Renegade XL
Production teams choose the Core Renegade XL when they need high-capacity, reliable portable power. Essentially, it eliminates dependency on wall outlets, generators, or patchwork battery solutions. With 1376Wh of capacity and support for 14V, 28V, and 48V outputs, a single Renegade XL can power an entire camera and lighting setup on location. Moreover, the self-contained design with integrated AC charging means fewer accessories to manage. As a result, teams spend less time on power logistics between setups.
The Renegade XL is also designed with long-term fleet management in mind. For example, it integrates with the VoltBridge Mesh system via its SmartTap auxiliary port. This enables cloud-based real-time battery health monitoring, usage analytics, and diagnostics through the VoltBridge Enterprise platform. Therefore, rental houses and large production companies can track multiple battery packs across shoots with remote visibility. In addition, the modular architecture with swappable power modules and battery cells extends the useful life of each unit.
Production Resources and Workflow Tips
For location shoots where AC power is unavailable, the Renegade XL serves as a central power hub. Specifically, you can connect your cinema camera through the 14V XLR outputs while simultaneously powering LED panels through the 28V or 48V outputs. In addition, the OLED display provides real-time runtime information. This means you can monitor power consumption and plan battery swaps before you lose power mid-take.
For multi-day shoots, take advantage of the internal AC charging capability. Simply plug the Renegade XL into any standard outlet overnight for a full recharge in about 5.5 hours. However, if your schedule is tighter, the optional SFQ40 dual-bay rapid charger cuts recharge time to roughly 2 hours per pack. Furthermore, its daisy-chain support lets you scale power across multiple units for larger setups. The Renegade XL is also compatible with legacy Maverick and Renegade shipping cases. As a result, existing Core SWX users can integrate it into their current transport workflow without buying new cases.
