⚡ High Charge & Discharge Capability

The battery supports charge and discharge currents of up to 100A, making it suitable for systems that require steady power delivery for essential residential or business loads.

Actual output depends on the inverter rating, battery settings, temperature and installed cabling.

🧠 Integrated Battery Management System

The built-in BMS helps monitor battery operation and protect against common electrical and operating risks, including:

  • Overcharging
  • Excessive discharge
  • Overcurrent
  • Short circuits
  • High temperature
  • Low temperature
  • Cell-voltage imbalance
  • Abnormal charging or discharging conditions

These protections help improve safety, stability and battery lifespan.

🔌 Hybrid Inverter Communication

The battery includes communication interfaces designed to work with compatible hybrid inverters.

Depending on the inverter and supported protocol, communication can allow exchange of information such as:

  • State of charge
  • Battery voltage
  • Charge and discharge limits
  • Operating status
  • Warning and protection conditions

Exact compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

🔗 Expandable Battery Storage

The modular rack design allows compatible battery units to be combined when additional storage capacity is required.

Example nominal capacities include:

  • 1 battery: 5.12kWh
  • 2 batteries: 10.24kWh
  • 4 batteries: 20.48kWh
  • 8 batteries: 40.96kWh

Expansion must follow Vestwoods’ approved system configuration and battery communication requirements.
