We have used over 140 of these units, mostly the 5KWH.

They are solid and really well performing batteries. Love the 1.5C

Hi I see you have used many of these batteries, could you maybe refer me to where i could get the correct charge voltages and discharge voltages for these batteries? I have replaced a clients inverters with victron and im struggling to find the correct setting or who to contact it for, we normally install revov or blue nova batteries on new installs.

he has the U-P 5000 models installed at the moment

thanks

    The Cell technology used in the Greenrich batteries are not your normal Prysmatic Pouch Cells these batteries use High Density Cylindrical cells so the internal look of the battery is very neat and ti

Surely it's normal LiFePO4 voltages?  

12V values (x4 for 48V)

BULK 14.6V (lower for less wear and tear, 14.1V is the sweet spot for capacity and charging speed imho)

FLOAT 13.6V (disable if possible or go even lower like 13.4-13.5 or work out what the battery resting voltage is)

Charge current 0.5C

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.

Hi all, new here. I've been quoted for 2 x 5kW Greenrich batteries. Keen to find out more about the batteries and company, but can't find a Greenrich website. 

Does anyone have a link, or know the name of the manufacturer is under a different name?

They are made for Elleyhill power by a Chinese company. I can't remember the Chinese company name, but you won't find anything online about them either.

So I assume Elleyhill would be the company responsible for honouring any warranty claims and after sales support (via the installer) on the batteries?

Does anyone know where I can get the OEM warranty for the greenrich up5000 Lithium battries. I a lot of the inverters and solar panels T$Cs on the net besides the ones for the Greenrich batteries. Our clients are asking for it as the retailers only give on thier invoice the words 5 years etc. but Client wants to see the OEM warranty.

Why don't you request it from your supplier?
