The Yachu 5.12kWh Lithium Battery is a compact energy-storage solution designed for residential solar systems, small offices, shops, backup-power installations and off-grid applications.

Rated at 51.2V and 100Ah, it provides 5.12kWh of nominal energy storage. Its LiFePO₄ lithium iron phosphate chemistry offers long cycle life, high usable capacity and stable performance, while the built-in Battery Management System helps protect the battery during charging and discharging.

🔋 Key Features

  • 5.12kWh nominal energy capacity
  • 51.2V 100Ah battery rating
  • Advanced LiFePO₄ lithium iron phosphate technology
  • Long cycle life of approximately 4,000–6,000 cycles at 80% DoD
  • High depth of discharge of up to 90–95%
  • Integrated Battery Management System
  • RS485 / CAN communication on compatible models
  • Supports parallel expansion on compatible configurations
  • Wall-mounted or rack-mounted installation
  • Compact, space-saving design
  • Low-maintenance operation
  • Suitable for compatible hybrid and off-grid inverters
  • Recommended for indoor installation

⚡ High Usable Energy

At a depth of discharge of:

  • 90%, usable energy is approximately 4.61kWh
  • 95%, usable energy is approximately 4.86kWh

Actual usable capacity depends on inverter settings, battery protection limits, temperature and operating conditions.

🧠 Integrated Battery Management System

The built-in BMS helps monitor battery operation and provides protection 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 battery safety, performance and service life.

🔌 CAN & RS485 Communication

Compatible versions of the Yachu battery support CAN and RS485 communication, allowing the battery to exchange information with supported inverters.

This may include:

  • State of charge
  • Battery voltage
  • Charging status
  • Discharging status
  • Protection conditions
  • Operating information

Exact communication compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

🔗 Expandable Battery Storage

Compatible Yachu battery units may support parallel connections for installations that require more storage capacity.

For example:

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

The maximum number of supported parallel batteries should be confirmed from the specific model datasheet.

✅ Benefits of LiFePO₄ Technology

  • Long cycle life
  • High usable energy capacity
  • Efficient charging and discharging
  • Improved thermal stability
  • Stable performance during repeated cycling
  • Lower maintenance than lead-acid batteries
  • Compact installation
  • Lower long-term replacement costs

⚠️ Inverter Compatibility

Although the battery has a nominal voltage of 51.2V, it is intended for compatible systems commonly classified as 48V solar systems.

Before installation, confirm that the inverter supports:

  • 51.2V LiFePO₄ batteries
  • Charging voltage in the required range
  • CAN or RS485 communication where applicable
  • The correct Yachu battery protocol
  • Suitable charging and discharging currents
  • Correct DC cable sizes
  • Appropriate breakers and fuses

Professional installation by a qualified solar technician is recommended.
