42-48-6650 AES LiFePO4 Battery by Discover Battery

Description The Discover 42-48-6650 AES Battery is an advanced lithium iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery that integrates into solar power systems quickly, and features advanced communication options for inverters that support closed-loop controls. At 7.39 kWh of storage capacity, you can do more with fewer units. 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. If you want a top-of-the-line modular battery, this is it. Discover® Advanced Energy System (AES) LiFePO4 Lithium solar batteries offer bankable performance and the lowest cost of energy storage per kWh. AES LiFePO4 Lithium batteries are manufactured with the highest-grade LiFePO4 cells and feature a proprietary high peak surge and transient voltage hardened BMS that delivers superior peak power, lightning-fast charge and discharge rates and LYNK Solar Gateway functionality for plug-and-play closed-loop integration with the worlds best known off-grid inverters and chargers turning a good system into a great one. Maybe you’ve seen Lithium battery tear-downs on YouTube. This is where reviewers open the cases of so-called ‘bargain’ drop-in replacement batteries to see how they are built. Most name brands live up to their billing and price tag, showing superior cells, construction, BMS, and BMS integration. Cheap garbage batteries designed to take your money and evaporate soon afterwards are exposed. Let’s take a look at the Discover tear-down so you can see what a truly well engineered battery looks like, and why they come with all the certifications and superior warranty… 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. 4248-6650 Features LYNK PORT Connects battery string to LYNK Gateway Multi-battery BMS communication HIGH-CURRENT BMS Field serviceable BMS and fuse protection Plug and Play system wide BMS communication Sets Voltage, broadcasts SoC and temperature AES DASHBOARD Battery diagnostic software for PC Data export kWh, fault logs to PC Update battery BMS firmware . 42-48-6650 Benefits ENHANCED RUNTIME Double the high-current runtime of lead-acid battery Up to 100% usable capacity Up to 100% depth of discharge EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE 10x the life of lead-acid battery (BCI-06) Unlimited Partial State of Charge cycles 10-year energy throughput warranty (Requires Registration) FAST CHARGING Up to 5x faster than new lead-acid batteries Up to 10x faster than aged lead-acid batteries 2X faster charging than C/2 Rated lithium batteries 1C continuous charge rate, regardless of SoC SURGE POWER Power for off-grid inverter surge demands Up to 3C peak power discharge rate 1C continuous discharge rate HIGH-EFFICIENCY Up to 50% more energy efficient than a lead-acid battery Up to 98% round-trip efficiency DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE Real-time optimization of the charge rate Faster recharge from 0% to 100% SoC than lead-acid battery PARALLEL POWER Easy to parallel more capacity Linear scaling of charge, discharge and peak capacity Parallel up to 20 batteries or 160 kWh per LYNK device QUICK INSTALL Fast installation.

CERTIFICATION STANDARDS IEC 62133 UL 1973 UL 9540 UL 2271 SGIP CEC CE UN 38.3 . Available Accessories LYNK SOLAR GATEWAY Integrated closed-loop communications with the world’s best inverter chargers Plug and play charger configuration . 42-48-6650 Integration with Inverter Systems 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 detailed PC-based monitoring. There is an ON/OFF switch on the battery and an internal backup fuse.
