Discover AES LiFePO4 battery
The Discover AES batteries are an excellent choice for applications
needing deep cycling on a daily basis as needed for off grid,
self-consumption, peak load shaving, and other similar systems. LiFePO4
batteries use the commonly preferred lithium technology for stationary
energy storage. It is thermally stable and has high cycle life compared
to some other Li-ION technologies. Cycle life is showing over 4,200
cycles at full depth of discharge and counting.
AES batteries have a built in Battery Management System (BMS) that
keeps the individual cells balanced and within the correct parameters
for longest life. If operating parameters are exceeded for over 2
minutes the battery will be shut down. The BMS monitors cell module
voltage; battery voltage; battery current; battery temperature; and
battery state of charge. It also keeps a log of this data and can send
out fault and warning events. There is an AEBus connection for
communications between multiple batteries.
The AES 42-48-6650 and 44-24-2800
have a Xanbus connection that communicates directly with a Schneider
XW+ or SW inverter system. It reports to the Conext SCP or Combox as a
battery monitor device. This battery can also be used with most other
inverters like OutBack and Magnum and use the Conext SCP or Combox for
monitoring, and the Conext AGS for generator control. The AES
12-48-6650 and 14-24-2800 have Canbus communication instead of the
Xanbus for communication to other device networks, or used as a lead
acid drop in replacement. Both models also have a USB interface for PC
based detailed monitoring. There is an ON/OFF switch on the battery and
an internal backup fuse.
- Safe and robust Li chemistry type, strong steel case.
- 1C continuous charge/discharge rate.
- Can be used with 24 or 48 volt nominal inverters and solar chargers.
- The 42-48-6650 and 44-24-2800 connect directly to a Schneider Xanbus network.
- The 42-48-6650 and 44-24-2800 can also be used with other
inverters and use the Schneider System Control Panel and Combox for
monitoring
- The 12-48-6650 and 14-24-2800 connect to a Canbus network, or used without a network.
- Extensive PC computer monitoring via a USB connection.
- Up to 10 AES batteries can be installed in parallel for up to 66kWh of storage.
TheThe steel enclosure is rated to IP55 (approx. NEMA 3R) but is not
recommended for outdoor exposure. Terminals are post type, M8 female
threads, with supplied bolts and washers. The charging temperature
range is 32°F (0°C) to 113°F (45°C), with a recommended
operating temperature range is 59°F (15°C) to 77°F
(25°C) for maximum life and performance.
Listed to IEC 62133(ed.2) pending UL1973 and UL2271. Ships as Hazardous
materials Class 9, UN3480 (UNDOT). Freight cost is $500 for one
battery, $750 for 2 to 8 batteries to 48 states commercial destination.
Warranty is 3 years workmanship, and cycling 10 years or throughput rating of 38MWh to 60% of original capacity. Made in Taiwan.
