Hi Guys so here is another GIVE AWAY!

We are busy with a test and review of the Greenrich 1.5C 3.686 kWh Lithium Battery 

Yes we will be giving one away to one lucky Power Forum Member in a Lucky Draw 

I will post details on how to qualify for this GIVE AWAY soon watch this space!

So some information to wet your appetite about these batteries 

Greenrich batteries have been in the market for some time now and so far we have had mostly positive feedback from installer and end users alike.

What makes the battery desirable is the 1.5C Rating this means the battery can discharge at 1.5 times its capacity rating.

Why would that be so great?

Here is why if you have a 5KW inverter discharge the battery at 5kWh then this 3.686 kWh battery will be able to absorb a charge rate between 0.5C & 0.75C and a discharge rate at 1.5C without tripping the benefits of that is that when you start of on your solar journey you don't have to break the bank with just one 3.686kWh Greenrich Battery because your 5KW inverter can never reach the discharge rates of the battery. 

The 3.686 kWh is also inter compatible with the 4.95 kWh Greenrich Lithium if you require to expand to larger capacity.

This Lithium battery is the only Lithium battery in the market that offers true 1.5C discharge ratings. With 1.5C discharge rates, the Greenrich lithium battery has a much higher power output compared to other 0.5C or 1C lithium batteries. 

The cell technology in the battery is LFP cylindrical high density cells which can do up to 2C however for longevity the BMS limits the discharge  to 1.5C and charger rates to 0.5C continuous and boost charge rate for 5 minutes to 0.75C

Battery specifications:

Weight: 41.5kg

Battery Type: Lithium Ion

Nominal Energy: 3686 Wh

Depth of discharge: 95.00 %

Voltage: 51.2v

Continuous Discharge Rate (Normal Use): 5000 W

Maximum Discharge Rate (5 Minutes): 5500 W

Surge Discharge Rate (15 Seconds): 6144 W

Maximum Charge Rate (5 Minutes): 2560 W

Compatible with many of South Africa’s popular Hybrid inverters’ brands.

Built-in BMS that protects the cell from abnormal temperature, current, voltage, SoC, and SoH.

Game changer! Experiencing so many installs where 8kw inverters are coupled with .5C 5kwh batteries and then people don't understand why the inverter trips during load shedding. This will bridge that gap nicely. So far Hubble was the defacto champ in this area. 

 

Would like a wall mount unit though.

Web being weird

Edited September 15, 20223 yr by JoeSlow

Wow, wish i could have this battery as i operate with 8*100amp batteries and they take so much space. 

That's a very high discharge rate and deep DoD.  What is the warranty cycle count?

The benefit of this is the batteries are a lot safer because if one cell fails it does not set the cells next to it on fire.

LiFePO4's generally don't catch on fire, NMC's are more a candidate for that sort of thing...

🤩

Curious to see results of the testing.

I'm interested to see if/how it will perform, with these specs, as an EV battery?

1.5c could be great depending on the price.

Looks great, wall mount would be even better !

You can get a "rack mount wall adaptor" for this. (and most rack mount batteries.) So mine is mounted to the wall perfectly. 

 Busy with converting a Suzuki half loaf will want to put in 4 of these batteries. using melex 5kw 3 phase motor.

Though I fully appreciate the Forum store also testing this battery for issues of:

* Reliability

* Safety

* Confirmation of specs etc...

Wouldn't it be good to have some of us forumites being given test kits to see how they also perform in different environments and circumstances such as:

* Over-abuse (through over discharging and undercharging;

* Various installation sites which, some may have adequate and others even inadequate SPDs;

* Different PV size installations;

* Differing inverters; and

* Various tinkering by some of us "solar users"?

Food for thought as eventually, the collation of such data across different areas and use-cases, gives a more representative and truer picture of how the battery will actually perform out in the "wild".

built my property with a north facing roof ,wanted f all from this useless government ,planned to go  off the grid at some stage ,and Eskom is pushing me off the cliff to step up and get off the grid sooner than later .

 

It seems like people think they need to reply to this thread in order to enter. Could we add the instructions to enter to the first post?

Perhaps the entry for this one has not been announced yet, this is for the 5kWh one:

Thanks that's exactly right. For The 5kWh giveaway in your link. Follow those instructions. We will still post the 3.6kWh unit instructions after the 5kWh had run its 7 days. 

We are giving away the 5.kWh Unit first.

It's on the second page of this thread and also very easy to find on the powerforum store.

The Battery is based on EV tech

@Jabu I do have a possibly stupid question here. Are you connecting an external MPPT charge controller to PV input of inverter? Does the inverter not have its own MPPT controller? 

 

Oh lawd the things I'd do with this battery!

Don't forget to enter. We will be giving away the 3.6 after the 5 has come to a conclusion. Excited for some one to make use of this battery!
