The WattCycle V2.5 is a 48V-class, 100Ah LiFePO₄ battery in a 3U server rack format. It has a nominal voltage of 51.2V and stores 5,120Wh (5.12kWh). It is intended for home energy storage and off-grid setups, such as storing solar energy or preparing for a power outage.
It uses BYD Grade A prismatic cells and supports up to 1C charging and discharging within its specified operating limits. A 100A battery management system provides low-temperature cutoff and overheat protection, with a 200A peak current for 2 seconds. 3A active balancing helps keep cell voltages balanced. Low-temperature cutoff is a protection feature, not a self-heating function.
Battery status can be viewed in the Bluetooth app or on the LCD touchscreen on the battery. CAN, RS232 and RS485 communication support integration with compatible inverters. Up to 20 batteries can be connected in parallel with master/slave auto-recognition, subject to system installation requirements. Each battery stores 5.12kWh, but available AC output and runtime depend on the inverter, connected loads, system configuration and operating conditions.
