EG4

We imported numerous shipments of these batteries Yes! they are the exact battery made in the same exact factory. EG4 is a USA company, and they are pioneers in the field, creating a couple of great high-quality batteries for their company. With sales in the hundreds of thousands of full complete batteries.

Actually we were also partners with the same OEM factory that made the original ground breaking 5kwh rack battery, something we understand is a honour and it’s because early on we formed relationships with these Tier 1 factories.

We have supplied batteries to companies such as BHP, and Shell Petroleum for large off grid mine installations, and other large wholesale clients in Australia. Creating a bridge between our two nations.

Why you should consider the bigger 300AH+ battery?

Why we now sell mostly 300Ah+ cells and Batteries

  1. Lifespan (EVE, CATL and BYD state the larger cells have 2 and even 3 times the lifespan)
  2. Cost per Kwh – The cost per Kwh is less ($300AUD per Kwh including GST)
  3. The only battery in Australia with a built in Battery rated Australian Standard Circuit Breaker
  4. KISS – Keep it Simple Stupid
    a) in many cases 1 single 16kwh battery is enough
    b) less connection points of failure
    c) less communication issues
    d) less cells to fail in time
  5. All our batteries are user serviceable. (that means in many years from now, if a cell goes bad you can replace a single cell and keep the battery going into the future

In Australia we called it the LiFePro 48100 in Australia. The factory that builds these batteries is not some cheap Alibaba factory, it’s actually a company with a valuation in the Billions. A Tier 1 professional battery manufacturer in China, and the quality of workmanship and quantity available is of the highest quality.

As of 2023 we switched to the LiFePro-LL (long life) model battery which is the premium battery in the USA, we have done this because it is much better suited to Australia, it uses better grade cells, and it has an amazing BMS with support for Victron inverters. You can also parallel up to 64 of them to create very large battery packs using the 100ah version that is 327kwh. And for the 300ah model that is 1MWh.

Update – Jan 2024

The price of the Battery in the USA is about the same when you factor in GST and the exchange rate. So, there is no penalty for you to buy these batteries from Lifepo4 Australia. And most people in Australia don’t realise there are also, state and province taxe in the USA, So the prices you may think Americans are paying are usually not the full price. Usually you need to add between 7.5-15% for sales tax in America. Similar to Australian GST.
