Description
The RCT 16.08kWh LiFePO4 Battery provides 14.47kWh of usable energy, a 51.2V rated voltage, and supports charging and discharging currents up to 200A. Its LiFePO4 chemistry, ≥6,000-cycle specification, IP54 protection, and floor-standing design make it suitable for demanding PV energy-storage applications.
A major advantage for commercial and industrial users is its ability to handle up to 200A maximum charging and discharging current. The system also supports scalability, allowing storage capacity to be expanded where the overall system design permits it. RS485 and CAN2.0 communication interfaces are provided for system integration.
The battery is designed for practical operating conditions, supporting charging from 0°C to 50°C and discharging from -10°C to 50°C. Its natural-convection cooling system operates without the need for a dedicated fan, while the datasheet specifies noise below 25dB. With IP54 ingress protection and a floor-standing installation configuration, it can be considered for suitable indoor and protected outdoor energy-storage environments.
For Pakistani businesses evaluating energy-storage systems in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Multan, and Rawalpindi, the battery can be considered for PV storage projects where usable energy, high current capability, communication integration, and cycle life are important purchasing factors.
The battery also includes an LCD display for monitoring battery information and working status, while WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity are specified for interaction. Safety-related features include multiple electrical protection settings, cell-level active equalization, and an aerosol fire-extinguishing method.
Lithium battery, generator, and EV charger compatibility should be confirmed against the selected inverter/system architecture before installation. The supplied datasheet does not provide a specific generator or EV-charger compatibility list, nor does it identify every compatible inverter model.
FAQ
1. What is the capacity of the RCT 16.08kWh battery?
The RCT Power Battery LV Series has a rated battery capacity of 16.08kWh per kit, with 14.47kWh usable energy according to the datasheet.
2. What battery chemistry does the RCT Power LV battery use?
It uses LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery cells. This chemistry is specified in the electrical-parameter section of the datasheet.
3. What is the voltage of the RCT 16.08kWh battery?
The rated voltage is 51.2V, while the specified operating voltage range is 44.8V to 57.6V.
4. What is the maximum charging and discharging current?
The battery supports a maximum charging and discharging current of 200A.
5. How many cycles does the RCT battery support?
The datasheet specifies ≥6,000 cycles with 80% capacity retention under the stated test conditions of 25°C and 0.5C. It additionally notes that an 8,000-cycle option is available, so the exact variant should be confirmed before ordering.
6. Can the battery capacity be expanded?
Yes. Scalability is listed as “Yes” in the datasheet. The exact maximum number of batteries or total system capacity is not specified in the supplied document and should therefore be confirmed for the intended installation.
7. Does it support communication with an inverter?
Yes. The battery specifies RS485 and CAN2.0 communication. WiFi and Bluetooth are also listed under the interaction/connectivity information.
8. What temperatures can the battery operate in?
For charging, the specified operating range is 0°C to 50°C. During discharge, it supports -10°C to 50°C. The storage temperature range is -15°C to 60°C.
9. Is the RCT battery suitable for outdoor installation?
The product is described as an indoor and outdoor battery for PV storage systems, and the datasheet specifies IP54 ingress protection. Installation is listed as floor standing. The exact outdoor installation conditions should be assessed according to the installation environment and manufacturer’s requirements.
10. Is it compatible with lithium batteries, generators, and EV chargers?
The product itself is a LiFePO4 lithium battery. However, the supplied datasheet does not provide a specific compatibility list for additional lithium batteries, generators, or EV chargers. Compatibility should therefore be verified based on the inverter, BMS communication protocol, and complete system configuration before purchase.
