Stamina: Superhuman (During his fight with Byakuya, Renji is hit directly by every blade from Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, and when he continues to fight he is pierced by five more blades. Even after such terrible damage, he makes a last ditch effort attack, almost piercing Byakuya with Zabimaru, and finally falls defeated. He had enough confidence in his resiliency to use a full-power Hadō #31 on Szayelaporro at point-blank range, willingly taking damage as well)
Range: Extended Melee Range with Zanpakuto in sealed state, Tens of Metres with Shikai (has shown to extend to such lengths), higher with Bankai
Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō, Zabimaru, Ōken clothing and goggles.
Intelligence: Gifted (Renji is highly adept in 3/4 of Shinigami combat, being able to use them effectively when needed. Even his weakest department being Kido, he momentarily used that weakness into strength when fighting Szyalaporro. When using an incomplete Bankai for the first time in a battle, despite his overall inexperience, he forced Byakuya to a knee after Byakuya declared it was impossible to do so)
Weaknesses: Renji's not good at using kido to the point that creating a simple energy blast will blow up in his face.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Shikai: The initial release to a Shinigami's Zanpakutō. It is activated by a command while declaring the name of the Zanpakutō Spirit. It changes the shape of the Zanpakutō and/or granting special abilities.
Bankai: The ultimate and final release to a Zanpakutō. The difference in power between Shikai and Bankai is generally around 5-10 times more powerful. Even though Bankai is the final stage of a Zanpakutō, it does not mean the Shinigami's growth ends there. A Bankai, especially one recently obtained, can evolve even further as its Shinigami gets stronger.
Kidō: Spells casted by Shinigami with strong enough Reiryoku and Reiryoku control. Kidō is divided into mainly three categories: Hadō for attacks, Bakudō for battle support and Kaidō for healing. The spells are ranking from 1-99 with 1 being the weaker and easier spells to cast and 99 being the most powerful and difficult to cast. Skilled users can cast Kidō without the need of an incantation; however, casting without incantation does reduce the Kidō's effectiveness less than a third of it's full potential. 
* Hadō #31: Shakkahō: The caster generates a high temperature fire ball in their hand that they can fire towards a target. It can be even used as a source of light in the dark.
Shunpo: A Shinigami movement technique which allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. As speed is the main factor of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.
Higa Zekkō: Renji can use his spiritual power to levitate the disconnected or broken segments of Zabimaru into the air, allowing him to execute a one-shot omni-directional attack at the cost of greatly damaging Zabimaru, making it a last ditch effort.
Bankai: Sōō Zabimaru: Zabimaru gains special techniques when in Bankai form.
*Sōō Zabimaru, Zaga Teppō: After impaling the enemy with his blade, Renji clenches his fist, forming jaws of spiritual energy. These jaws then close down on the enemy, forming the visage of a large, serpentine skull, crushing them with its fangs. Simultaneously, Renji fires a blast of spiritual energy through the enemy. The attack is powerful enough to reduce its target to ashes.

Bankai: Hihiō Zabimaru: Zabimaru's original Bankai state.
*Bankai Reconstruction: Unlike its Shikai, Zabimaru's segments are held together by Renji's spiritual power, allowing him to separate and reattach them at will. The segments themselves are extremely tough, making it extremely difficult to destroy Hihiō Zabimaru. Even if a segment is damaged, knocked off, or destroyed, Renji can simply detach it and reform Zabimaru.
Hikotsu Taihō: Renji fires a dense blast of concentrated spiritual energy from Zabimaru's mouth. The technique requires a substantial amount of energy from Renji, which usually breaks the segments out of formation in the aftermath.
Reiatsu Ropes: Renji can separate his Bankai segments and use them to surround his opponent. By linking the segments together again with his Reiatsu, Renji is able to bind the target.
