Vestwoods VE48100 4.8kWh lithium battery is one of those reliable lithium batteries that’s popping up in more Kenyan solar installs every week – especially for folks with 3–5 kW hybrid inverters who want solid backup without the premium price. It’s a 48.2 V (nominal 48 V) × 100 Ah LiFePO4 pack with 15 LFP cells, giving you real 4.8 kWh usable that’s safe and stable for daily cycling. Installers dig it because it drops right into Sunsynk, Deye, or Growatt setups via RS485, and the rack-mount design (3U) fits neat in telecom cabinets or home racks. At around 40 kg, it’s not too heavy to handle, and the built-in LCD shows SOC and health without needing an app. Many here use it for off-grid cabins, small shops, or telecom backups – lasts 10–15 years with 6000+ cycles, and the IP65 rating handles our dust and rain no problem. If you’re upgrading from lead-acid, this is the sweet spot at KES 120k–150k.
