Hi Guys so here is another GIVE AWAY!

 

We are busy with a test and review of the GREENRICH U-P5000 1.5C 4.96 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 educational information about these batteries 

 

As you all know 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 8KW inverter discharge the battery at 8kWh then this 4.96 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 4.96 kWh Greenrich Battery because your 8KW inverter will struggle to reach the discharge rates of the battery. 

 

The 4.96 kWh is also inter compatible with the 3.686 kWh Greenrich Lithium if you require to expand to additional 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

    Here's my 2 cents' worth about batteries with a high C rating. My experience with the system at my previous house was that such a battery could have saved me some trouble. I had a 5kW Sunsynk with 2 Dyness B3 batteries of 3.6kWh each, which are 0.5C batteries. Due to the layout of the house I had to have all plugs on the essential load. For example there was one plug in the garage, that the garage door motor used, but also the washing machine and MOERSE 3.5kW whirlpool tumble dryer..  In the kitchen the Microwave and Dishwasher were on the same circuit. Long story short is that I had to keep close tabs on load shedding schedules in conjunction with dishwashing and laundry activity, because if that tumble dryer's heater kicked in without sunshine or Eskom to back it up, I had to go manually reset the batteries.
