Description
51.2 V · 5.12 kWh · 100 Ah · 100 A max. continuous · 6,000+ cycles · 10-year warranty
The Pytes V5 is a 51.2 V, 5.12 kWh LiFePO₄ rack-mount battery module built for home, farm and small-business energy storage. It handles up to 100 A continuous charge and discharge, has an integrated heating pad for cold weather and a multi-layer BMS protection system, and supports remote monitoring and firmware upgrades over WiFi. Up to 16 units connect in a group (81.92 kWh), and up to 6 groups (491.52 kWh) with a Pytes hub. That scalability has seen V5 systems of 96 batteries running Victron inverters on European dairy farms. It uses closed-loop communication with Victron Energy and most major inverter brands.

Key Features:
✅ High Charge/Discharge Rate: 75 A recommended and 100 A max. continuous, with peaks of 101–120 A for 3 minutes and 121–180 A for 15 seconds.
✅ Long Service Life: 6,000+ cycles at 90% DoD, 95% round-trip efficiency and a 10-year warranty, with up to 20 years design life.
✅ Multi-Layer Protection: Advanced BMS with over-current alarm, short-circuit protection and a 360 A fuse.
✅ Cold-Weather Ready: An integrated heating pad works from -18 °C to 10 °C, keeping the battery in its optimal charging range.
✅ Cell Contact System (CCS): Lighter, denser and more reliable internal cell connections than traditional copper wiring.
✅ Remote Monitoring & Upgrades: Web/app real-time monitoring, alarm notifications and remote firmware updates via the optional Pytes WiFi dongle.
✅ Massive Scalability: 16 units (81.92 kWh) per group; up to 6 groups (491.52 kWh) with a Pytes hub.
✅ Victron Compatible: CAN / RS485 closed-loop communication with Victron Energy and most mainstream inverters (SMA, Solis, Growatt, Sol-Ark and more).
✅ Flexible Installation: 3.2U 19" rack-mount format. Stack it with V5 brackets, mount it in a V-BOX indoor cabinet, or install it outdoors in a V-BOX-OC enclosure.
