Description
This 48V lithium battery from LiFePO4 Australia provides approximately 16kWh of energy storage for compatible off-grid solar systems. It uses LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) cells, a lithium battery chemistry valued for its thermal stability and long cycle life.
Looking for a 48V lithium battery? Choose LiFePO4
LiFePO4 is a type of lithium-ion battery. If you are searching for a 48V lithium solar battery, this 51.2V nominal LiFePO4 battery is designed for compatible 48V-class off-grid equipment. Its 314Ah capacity provides approximately 16.08kWh of nominal stored energy per battery.
Confirm your inverter and charger support the battery’s operating voltage, charge settings and BMS requirements before ordering. A 48V system label alone does not establish compatibility.
A safer lithium battery chemistry for energy storage
LiFePO4 is recognised as one of the safer conventional lithium-ion chemistries, with greater thermal stability than commonly used nickel- and cobalt-based lithium-ion chemistries. It is a widely used choice for stationary energy storage, combining safety characteristics with long cycle life.
This battery pairs EVE MB31 prismatic LiFePO4 cells with a JK Inverter BMS and 2A active balancing to help keep cell voltages balanced. Battery safety also depends on the complete system, correct installation and operation within its specified limits; no lithium battery is fireproof.
