Heated 5.12kWh Rack Battery With Busbars and Cables
The Pytes V5 Heated Battery is a 51.2V, 100Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) module that stores 5.12 kWh. This package (part 110402100159) includes two flexible busbars, one cascade communication cable and one grounding cable, so you have what you need to link it into your battery stack.
An integrated heating film warms the cells in cold weather, and the battery connects to its power cables by studs.
Why You'll Love The Pytes V5 Heated Battery
Charges in the cold. The built-in heating film switches on at 41°F (5°C) or below and off at 59°F (15°C), bringing the battery back to charging temperature in winter. It runs from an external charging source such as PV, grid or a generator.
Strong output. 75A recommended and 100A maximum charge/discharge (5.12 kW DC), with short peaks up to 180A for 15 seconds for motor starts.
Grows with you. Stack up to 16 batteries (82 kWh) in a group, or six groups (492 kWh) with a Pytes Hub.
Certified for homes. UL 9540 Ed.2 and Ed.3, UL 9540A and UL 1973, plus CEC and SGIP listings.
Your life, with the Pytes V5 Heated Battery
On a frosty morning the battery warms itself while the sun comes up, then starts storing power. In the evening your home runs on what you stored during the day. When you want more storage, you add another V5 to the stack.
