KiloVault 12V Cold-Rated Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) Deep Cycle Battery (CHLX 1800)
CHLX Series lithium-ion solar batteries are designed and tested to thrive under the sometimes rigorous conditions off-grid or hybrid inverters and battery chargers can place on deep cycle solar batteries. This battery has a 1.8kWh capacity; a 3.6 kWh capacity version is also available.
The 12V, 1.8 kWh CHLX battery's LiFePO4 (lithium ferro phosphate) cells are highly efficient, maintenance-free, safe, and will last an impressive 2,000 cycles cycling to a full 100% depth of discharge (or 5,000 cycles when cycling to 80% DoD).
Up to 4 CHLX batteries can be used in series to create systems of 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V, or you can use up to 4 CHLX batteries in parallel for a higher capacity 12V bank. All parallel strings must be maintained within 0.2V of each other.
Automatically Keeps Your Batteries Warm in Winter
Unlike other deep-cycle lithium batteries, CHLX batteries are rated to work in ambient temperatures as low as -22°F / -30°C. While in these sub-freezing conditions, a CHLX battery utilizes charging current to activate an internal heating film to warm its temperature to above freezing, then proceeds with normal solar charging.
KiloVault CHLX 1800 Cold-Rated Lithium-Ion Battery Features
- Can be configured for 24V, 36V, or 48V systems by using two, three, or four batteries in series
- Note: A maximum of 4 CHLX batteries can be used in series or in parallel, but not both
- Can be discharged to its full rated capacity of 1,800 Watt-hours (100% depth of discharge)
- Even after discharging to 100% 2,000 times (or discharging to 80% 5,000 times), 80% of the 1.8 kWh capacity remains
- Maintenance-free – no watering, cleaning, or hazardous chemicals
- Cold-rated LFP battery for sub-freezing temperatures - When the ambient temperature is below 32°F / 0°C, charging current flows to an internal 96W heater to warm up the battery before switching to normal charging when the battery internal temperature reaches 32°F / 0°C
- The heater activates at an external temperature of 23°F / -5°C
- When the batteries are on an AC charger, warming the battery's internal temperature from -22°F / -30°C to 50°F / 10°C takes about 2 hours
- Warming the battery's internal temperature from -4°F / -20°C to 50°F / 10°C takes about 1.5 hours
- When the batteries are charging with solar - depending upon the charger output - heating may take longer
- Higher efficiency and lower cost per Watt-hour than lead acid batteries
- Lithium ferro phosphate cell chemistry (LiFePO4) is safer than other lithium-ion technologies and has no hazardous chemicals or thermal runaway problems
- Takes up to 150A of continuous charging/discharging current, meeting the tough demands of serious inverters and chargers
- Built-in bluetooth and the KiloVault HLX app combine to provide battery health and performance monitoring
- 7.5-year warranty
