BYD 5kWh LV 5.0 Battery Lithium Ion Battery Box (LFP) is one of those premium low-voltage packs that Kenyan installers are raving about for 3–5 kW hybrid systems – it’s modular, so you can start with one 5 kWh module and stack up to 32 for massive storage if your home or shop grows. Built with safe LFP cells (no fire risk like older lithiums), it’s 51.2V nominal with 100Ah capacity, giving you a full 5 kWh usable for backups during blackouts or daily solar cycling. Super compatible with Sunsynk, Deye, or Goodwe inverters via CAN/RS485, and the wall-mount or rack design fits neat in garages or utility rooms. At around KES 130,000 in Nairobi shops, it’s a bit pricier but lasts 10+ years with 6000 cycles – perfect if you’re tired of cheap batteries dying after a year in our heat.
BYD 5kWh LV 5.0 Battery Key Features
- Modular & Scalable: Start with 5 kWh, add up to 32 modules (160 kWh) in parallel for big Kenyan homes or businesses.
- Safe LFP Technology: Lithium Iron Phosphate cells – no thermal runaway, stable in hot Kenyan weather, 6000+ cycles at 80% DOD.
- High Discharge Capability: 70A continuous, 105A peak (5s) – handles pumps, fridges, or ACs without tripping.
- Easy Integration: RS485/CAN comms for Sunsynk, Deye, Victron; auto-detects and balances in multi-module setups.
- Compact Design: Wall or rack-mount, IP20 rated for indoor use, weighs about 45 kg per module.
- Smart Protections: Built-in BMS guards against over-charge/discharge, short-circuit, temp extremes.
- Long Warranty: 10 years (or 6000 cycles), making it a solid investment for Kenya’s off-grid or hybrid needs.
