LBSA Commercial Battery Solutions
End-user/commercial client questions about LBSA batteries
01
How much can my business save on electricity costs by installing solar with LBSA batteries?
With electricity tariffs rising drastically in South Africa, an LBSA system can reduce or even eliminate monthly electricity bills. Depending on your consumption profile and system size, businesses often achieve a payback period of 6–12 months.
02
What size solar and battery system does my factory/warehouse need?
The system size depends on your goals and operating profile:
- Whether you want to reduce costs only or aim for full energy independence
- Factory/warehouse operating hours
- Presence of machinery with high inductive loads
03
How do LBSA Rhino IntelliFlex HV batteries reduce peak demand charges?
Using inverter peak‑shaving, the Rhino IntelliFlex battery discharges during peak tariff windows to lower your site’s demand charges, then recharges when electricity is cheaper.
04
Can LBSA batteries integrate with my existing inverters, grid connection, or generators?
Yes.
- Low Voltage LBSA batteries integrate seamlessly with single‑phase applications.
- High Voltage LBSA batteries are suited for three‑phase commercial systems.
- Generators can be integrated via the inverter, enabling continuous backup and true off‑grid capability.
05
What’s the lifespan and warranty of LBSA batteries in a commercial setting?
The Rhino IntelliFlex High Voltage range includes a 10‑year warranty with unlimited cycles. After 10 years (assuming ~1 cycle/day at around 25°C), you can expect about 80% usable capacity remaining. LBSA also supports a 20–30 year service life outside the warranty period with repair and service options for continued assurance of functionality.
