PYTES Energy V5° LFP Battery 5.12kW 100Ah 48VDC

PYTES Energy V5° LFP Battery 5.12kW 100Ah 48VDC LiFePO4 Self-Heating

The new V5° lithium phosphate battery is the latest in home energy storage and the next generation after the venerable E-BOX-48100R model. The V5 provides a safe, well-designed, and high-performing battery bank solution. The battery pack is compact, easy to install, maintenance-free, and can be assembled in parallel when adding more capacity. It has wide applications including residential, small commercial, industrial, and telecom systems.

The big brother to the E-BOX-48100R LFP Battery, the new V5° LiFePO4 battery also provides self-heating that auto starts in cold environments and facilitates charging below freezing temperatures. The new V5° LiFePO4 battery also has a higher 100A Maximum Continuous Charge/Discharge rate.

Features

• Updated State-of-Charge Indicator
• Phoenix terminals with busbar connections that have higher ampacity instead of the previous wire cables used on the E-BOX-48100R
• Smaller and lighter than the E-BOX-48100R
• Continuous charge/discharge rate of 75A which can be increased to 100A with firmware update
• BMS includes Over Current Alarm and Short Circuit Protection
• Built in 320A fuse into each V5 battery
• The built-in heating pad automatically activates when the BMS senses that the ambient cell temperature falls below 41°F. The heating pad will remain on until the temperature reaches 50°F. The heating pad will not work in temperatures below -4°F. If auto activation of the heating pad does not result in a change in temperature after 30 minutes, an alarm will trigger.
• With the optional WiFi Dongle, you can have real-time monitoring, remote upgrading, and alarm notification of your battery bank system on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

FAQs

• Can I mix the PYTES V5° battery with the PYTES E-BOX-48100R battery in the same battery bank?
  No, these batteries cannot be mixed in the same battery bank. They would have to be separate battery banks.
• How fast does the heater work?
  The temperature rises an average of 10 degrees per hour after the internal heating pad is turned on.
• How much power does the internal heating pad use?
  The built-in heating pad uses 170W of power while in use.
• Can I disable the heater on the unit?
  No, the heater cannot be disabled.
• Is the Pytes Energy V5 Lithium Battery compatible with the SMA SI6048-US-10 Sunny Island Inverter?
  Yes, and in fact can communicate with the Sunny Island in a closed loop network. Also, Pytes Energy does not have a minimum number of batteries required with the SMA SI6048-US-10 inverter.
• Is the Pytes Energy V5 Lithium Battery compatible with OutBack Power inverters?
  Yes, however, they will not integrate with OutBack Power in a close-loop setup.
• What is the purpose of the dry contacts?
  The dry contacts are currently inoperable and serve no function.
