| Hot-Swappable Modules | Need to replace a module mid-operation? No problem. The HV-104-14WFRE allows hot-swapping of modules, regardless of their state of charge. The system's internal balancer automatically discharges higher-voltage modules to match the rest, ensuring seamless performance and minimal disruption. |
| Wire-Free Design | Forget complicated wiring diagrams and tangled installations. The HV-104-14WFRE uses a wire-free design, reducing setup time, eliminating wiring errors, and ensuring a safer, cleaner installation. |
| Seamless CAN Communication Failover | Downtime? Not on our watch. If a Master battery in your rack fails, the system automatically promotes a Slave battery to take over communication with the inverter. This failover mechanism happens instantly, keeping your system running smoothly with zero downtime. You can scale this setup up to 62 racks in parallel, reaching a massive 5.4MW capacity—without compromising stability. |
| Easy Module Securing | Easily secure the controller and module in place with a secure drawer lock |
| Hot Battery Swapping Made Effortless | Our bidirectional current limiter allows you to add a new battery regardless of its state of charge or voltage. It intelligently balances itself by either charging or discharging at up to 10A—no specialist tools or knowledge required. Future expansion or battery replacement has never been easier. |
| Large Expansion | Parallel up to 60 batteries with auto master-slave assigning |
| Powerful Bidirectional Current Limiter | Current limiting: Our smart controlled current limiter can limit the current going in to or out of the battery at 15 amps to ensure your batteries, whether adding or servicing, can resynchronize effortlessly. Module balancing: The current limiter doubles as a module balancer allowing your newly added battery modules voltage to be synchronized into the battery seamlessly. |
| Independent Charge and Discharge Control | Battery over discharged? No problem with our double contactor diode approach. Your battery can continue waiting for a charge while not giving any power out, protecting your valuable cells. Contactor AUX feedback: All contactors in the LBSA HV battery feature auxiliary feedback so that we are aware of any contactor failure. Charge termination while allowing discharge: LBSA HV allows for your battery to be able to be discharge while not allowing charge in case of a cell over voltage. This comes in handy when you need your modules or cells to balance whilst not interrupting the rest of the battery banks. Breaker with trip and feedback function: We will know if the breaker is not closed ensuring that little bit of extra safety by promoting you to close the breaker. We can also disengage the contactors in the event the breaker has been turned off. In the event of contactor failure the battery can trip the breaker if need be. |
