16kWh IP65 Floor Standing Lithium Battery with Lifting Casters for Solar Storage

16kWh IP65 Floor Standing LiFePO4 Battery for Solar Installers

The Voltertech BAT-16KWH-51.2V-S-W is a 51.2V, 314Ah LiFePO4 battery with 16.08kWh of nominal energy. Its freestanding enclosure combines an IP65 protection rating, automotive-grade steel band strapping and industrial lifting casters. The design is intended for solar installers and system integrators who need a high-capacity battery that can be positioned without wall mounting.

Built for Practical Floor-Level Installation

At 490 × 276 × 905mm, the battery occupies a defined floor area while providing 16.08kWh in one enclosure. Heavy-duty lifting casters help with positioning during installation. Because the unit weighs 118kg, installers should still plan safe unloading, movement, floor support and final restraint according to the site conditions.

The automotive-grade steel band strapping is a feature of the battery structure. Its IP65-rated enclosure offers dust and water-jet protection under the applicable rating, but placement must also consider temperature limits, exposure and the complete installation requirements.

Check the Inverter Before Commissioning

The 51.2V battery is intended for compatible 48V-class hybrid and off-grid inverter systems. CAN, RS485 and RS232 interfaces support system communication, while a 3.5-inch touchscreen allows supported inverter protocol libraries to be selected without a laptop. Bluetooth app access and Wi-Fi connectivity provide additional battery information.

Protocol support is model-dependent. Installers should confirm the inverter model, firmware, communication wiring and charging settings before ordering. The recommended charging current is no more than 100A, with a specified maximum continuous discharge current of 200A.

Technical Specifications

Scalable Storage for Different Project Sizes

One unit supplies 16.08kWh of nominal battery energy. Up to 15 units may be connected in parallel according to the supplied specification, giving installers a route to approximately 241kWh of nominal storage. The final number of units depends on the approved inverter, electrical protection and battery system configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the IP65 battery suitable for an outdoor project?

IP65 describes the enclosure's dust and water-jet resistance. Outdoor suitability must also be checked against temperature, sunlight, mounting stability and the installation manual.

Do the lifting casters remove the need for handling equipment?

No. The battery weighs 118kg, so appropriate lifting and handling arrangements are still required.

Can it communicate with my existing 48V hybrid inverter?

Possibly. Please provide the exact inverter model so voltage settings, CAN/RS485 protocol and firmware compatibility can be checked.

Can several batteries be installed together?

The specification supports up to 15 units in parallel, subject to the complete system design and approved configuration.

What should I send to request a project quotation?

Share the inverter model, required battery quantity, installation environment and destination market. These details help us review compatibility and the delivery requirements.
