SUVPR 51.2V 200Ah modular LiFePO4 battery series — stackable from 10.24kWh to 61.44kWh with BYD cell technology.
Solar power can reduce dependence on the grid, but solar generation does not always match when electricity is needed. A home may produce more solar energy during the day and require more power in the evening, while small businesses can face changing load demand throughout the day. For off-grid applications, the challenge is even greater: stored energy needs to be available when solar generation is limited.
This is where a properly sized lithium battery energy storage system can make a difference. By storing electricity when energy is available and supplying it when required, a battery storage system can improve solar self-consumption, provide backup energy, and create more flexibility for residential and small commercial power systems.
SUVPR's 51.2V LiFePO₄ Battery System is designed around this requirement. Using BYD lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cell technology and a modular 51.2V architecture, the system provides six configurations from 10.24kWh to 61.44kWh. It is designed for residential, small commercial, and off-grid energy storage applications and can be integrated with compatible low-voltage hybrid inverters.

Why a Modular Lithium Battery Energy Sto13. rage System?
One of the challenges in designing a battery storage system is selecting a capacity that matches the actual application.
A system that is too small may not provide enough stored energy, while an oversized battery can increase the initial investment without being fully utilized.
A modular battery platform provides another approach. Instead of designing every project around one fixed capacity, installers can select a configuration according to the required energy storage capacity, load profile, solar generation, and backup requirements.
SUVPR's 51.2V battery platform offers:
- 10.24kWh to 61.44kWh nominal energy
- 51.2V nominal voltage
- 200Ah to 1200Ah nominal capacity
- BYD lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cell technology
- Low-voltage hybrid inverter compatibility
- CAN and RS485 communication
- More than 6000 cycles at 80% DOD
This configuration makes the battery platform suitable for projects that require different storage capacities while maintaining the same basic low-voltage architecture.
BYD LiFePO₄ Battery Technology for Energy Storage
The battery system uses BYD lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cell technology, a chemistry widely used in stationary energy storage applications.
LiFePO₄ batteries are suitable for applications that require repeated charging and discharging over an extended operating period. For this product series, the stated design life is more than 6000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD).
For homeowners, installers, and small commercial users, cycle life is an important consideration because the battery may be charged and discharged regularly as part of daily solar energy management.
The use of BYD cells also provides a consistent battery technology platform across the different capacity configurations.
51.2V Low-Voltage Architecture
The system uses a 51.2V nominal battery voltage, making it suitable for compatible low-voltage hybrid inverter systems.
The specified battery operating voltage range is 43.2–57.6V, with a standard charging protection voltage of 60.8V.
Depending on the selected configuration:
- Standard charging current ranges from 80A to 480A
- Maximum continuous discharge current ranges from 90A to 540A
- Depth of discharge is specified at 80%
- CAN and RS485 communication are supported
The battery should be matched with a compatible inverter based on voltage range, charge and discharge current, communication protocol, and system power requirements.
Modular Battery Configuration for Different Applications
The battery uses a modular stacking structure with one to six modules.
Adding modules increases the total nominal energy and capacity while maintaining the 51.2V nominal voltage.
For example:
- A 10.24kWh configuration can be considered for smaller residential storage requirements.
- A 20.48–40.96kWh configuration provides more storage for larger household loads or selected small commercial applications.
- 51.2kWh and 61.44kWh configurations can provide higher storage capacity for small commercial or larger residential systems.
The actual configuration should be determined based on the project's load profile, required backup duration, PV generation, inverter capacity, and battery operating conditions.
How the Lithium Battery Energy Storage System Works
A battery energy storage system works as part of a larger power system rather than operating independently.
In a typical solar-plus-storage application:
Solar PV → Hybrid Inverter → Household / Commercial Loads
When solar generation exceeds the immediate load demand, available energy can be directed to the battery:
Solar PV → Hybrid Inverter → Battery Storage
Later, when solar generation decreases, stored energy can be discharged through the compatible inverter to supply the connected loads.
For off-grid applications, the battery can serve as the energy storage component that helps balance variable renewable generation and load demand.
This makes the battery suitable for integration into:
- Residential solar-plus-storage systems
- Home battery backup systems
- Small commercial energy storage
- Off-grid solar systems
- Low-voltage hybrid inverter systems
- Solar self-consumption applications
Residential Lithium Battery Storage
For residential applications, electricity consumption often changes significantly throughout the day.
Solar generation may be highest around midday, while household electricity demand can increase in the evening when solar production is declining.
A residential battery can store available solar energy during periods of generation and make that energy available later.
The 10.24kWh to 61.44kWh capacity range gives installers multiple options when designing a residential lithium battery storage system.
The final battery capacity should be selected according to household energy consumption, solar PV capacity, desired backup duration, inverter power, and local installation requirements.
Small Commercial Energy Storage
Small businesses can also benefit from a modular battery energy storage system.
Shops, offices, workshops, small factories, and other commercial facilities may have different electricity consumption patterns from residential users. A larger battery configuration can provide additional stored energy for applications such as solar self-consumption, load management, and backup power.
The 51.2V platform can be considered for small commercial projects where a low-voltage battery system is appropriate.
For larger commercial and industrial applications, SUVPR also provides higher-capacity commercial and industrial energy storage systems, including outdoor cabinet ESS and containerized energy storage solutions.
Off-Grid and Backup Energy Storage
In locations with limited grid access or unreliable electricity supply, energy storage becomes an important part of the overall power system.
When combined with solar PV and a compatible inverter, the battery can store renewable energy for use when solar generation is unavailable.
The system can therefore be considered for:
- Remote residential properties
- Off-grid homes
- Rural solar systems
- Remote commercial facilities
- Backup power applications
- Solar systems requiring additional energy storage
System sizing should take into account daily energy consumption, peak loads, solar generation, expected backup duration, and environmental conditions.
Battery Protection and Operating Conditions
The battery includes protection and alarm functions designed to monitor key operating conditions.
Protection functions include:
- Over-temperature protection
- Over-charge protection
- Under-voltage protection
- Over-current protection
- Short-circuit alarm
The battery uses natural heat dissipation and has a specified noise emission level of less than 29dB.
The product is designed for indoor installation with an IP21 protection rating.
Specified operating conditions include:
- Charging temperature: 0°C to +50°C
- Discharging temperature: -30°C to +60°C
- Relative humidity: 5%–95%
- Maximum operating altitude: 4,000m
- Derating above 2,000m
Installers should follow the product's installation requirements and ensure that the selected location meets the specified temperature, humidity, ventilation, and protection conditions.
Installation and System Design Considerations
Selecting battery capacity is only one part of designing a complete energy storage system.
Before installation, the following factors should be evaluated:
1. Required Storage Capacity
Determine how much energy needs to be stored based on daily consumption and the intended operating strategy.
2. Inverter Compatibility
The battery should be matched with a compatible low-voltage hybrid inverter according to battery voltage, current, power rating, and communication protocol.
3. Solar PV Capacity
For solar-plus-storage applications, the PV array should be evaluated together with battery capacity and inverter specifications.
4. Backup Requirements
If the battery is intended for backup power, the required load and backup duration should be considered when determining the battery configuration.
5. Installation Space
The complete six-module configuration can weigh up to approximately 984kg, while the smallest 10.24kWh configuration is approximately 158kg. The listed dimensions are approximately 1250 × 500 × 731mm including the base.
Therefore, installation space, floor loading, transportation, and handling requirements should be evaluated before deployment.
