KiloVault 12V Cold-Rated Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) Deep Cycle Battery (CHLX 3600)
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.
The CHLX's lithium ferro phosphate (LiFePO4) cells are safe, maintenance-free, highly efficient, 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).
These 12V, 3.6 kWh batteries can be combined in up to 4 parallel strings of 4 CHLX batteries each for systems of 24V, 36V, or 48V. Also available in 1.8 kWh capacity.
Keep Your Batteries Warm in Winter Automatically
Unlike other lithium solar batteries, CHLX batteries are cold-rated to work in ambient temperatures as low as -22°F / -30°C. During these sub-freezing conditions, CHLX batteries utilize charging current to activate an integrated heating film to warm their internal temperature. Once the battery warms itself to a temperature above freezing, it proceeds with normal solar charging.
KiloVault CHLX 3600 Cold-Rated Lithium-Ion Battery Specs
- Can be configured for 24V, 36V, or 48V systems by using two, three, or four batteries in series
- Can be discharged to its full rated capacity of 3,600 Watt-hours (100% depth of discharge)
- Even after discharging to 100% 2,000 times (or discharging to 80% 5,000 times), 80% of the 3.6 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 192W 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
