280AH batteries

Featured Replies

Good day

Any one have experience with 51.2V 280AH or 314AH or 325AH or 345AH batteries..they do come in 10kw to 14kw or 17kw

they stand on wheels and are weighing 125 to 150kgs

ECCO and Sun Solar and SVolt makes these

get one of these types or 3 x 5kw batteries

so i do have 4 x 5kw rack batteries

i want to connect this thing also in parallel to it so that they all work as one unit

BMS controls anyway all the flow

self regulating

i dont see a problem

any suggestions ?

S Volt also makes a 325 AH 51,2V battery on wheels . I have a 24 V battery made by SVolt that is 18 months old with good performance. There are a few forum members that are satisfied with the SVolt 51,2 V 106AH batteries . They also make a 220 AH battery . The large capacity batteries are build with the new blade cells .

Blade cells ?

dont know naything of these

can i use this battery on wheels and connect it to my existing 20 kw rack batteries that are parralleled

What are the current batteries that you are running?.

Can you use them with them ? Yes. but it comes down to maybe not having coms with them and letting the 20kw bank control your battery on wheels.

If you are running open loop( lead acid mode) on the inverter then you can use it pretty much easily. Depending on your current battery bank. They might have different charge voltage then the svolt range

Solarway has a similar unit called the Cyclone F15 with 280Ah of capacity.

If its anything like their F5, then its good quality with phenomenal aftersales support.

if i may ask...the 4 x 5kw batteries i have in parralele is life-po batteries in rack form stacked

so u say i can use the other one on wheels and connect it also in parralele to these other batteries\and choose lead acid charge mode

is this correct?

As long as all the batteries are 16 cell you can parallel them.
However, you will need to set all your voltages according to the most restrictive parameters.
You need to check the battery labels and see which one is more restrictive. If they are identical, then it's straight forward.
i.e you may have a battery that calls for a charge voltage of 57,6V and a cutoff of 43,2 , whilst another battery calls for charge of 56,8V and a cutoff of 44,8V , then you set your voltages to 56,8 and 44,8 which are the more restrictive.

my current batteries are 16 cell

this battery on wheels i dont know how they work inside

no idea if its cells or blades

Sounds interesting - at first glance. But 100kg to 150kg per piece - wow! How do you handle these? The deliverer must come with a fork lift truck and the battery room must be accessible to it. My battery and inverter shack is only accessible over a lawn. 100Ah packs with 45kg are at the limit for handling by 2 persons.

Several broken backs.

Carried my 2 batteries from my car to my garage by myself, plus mounted myself. Needless to say, my back was stuffed for a week.

yip i ordered one today..last time the 4 x 5kw batteries are so freaking heavy ..took 2 of us just to lift them out of the boxes

lololol

back breaking stuff

was so heavy i transported them on my trolly to get thm closer to their installation racks

and so this new one will be in the range of 150kgs

also gonna have to transport it on a trolly

i believe they come packed in wooden storage crates because of the weight and protection needed
