PVBAT ELEPHANT-48628 32.15kWh 51.2V 628Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cabinet
The PVBAT ELEPHANT-48628 is a 32.15kWh high-capacity LiFePO4 battery cabinet built for users who need more energy storage than standard residential battery modules. With 51.2V rated voltage and 628Ah rated capacity, it is designed for home backup power, solar energy storage, off-grid systems, farms, villas, workshops, telecom backup, and commercial energy storage projects.
Each ELEPHANT-48628 battery cabinet provides 32.15kWh of rated energy in one floor-standing unit. It can store solar energy during the day, support backup power during outages, and provide large-capacity battery storage for projects with higher daily energy demand. Actual usable runtime depends on connected load, inverter efficiency, battery state of charge, system configuration, temperature, and operating conditions.
The battery is built on a 48V-class platform with 51.2V rated voltage, 58.4V charging cut-off voltage, and 44.8V discharge cut-off voltage. It is designed to work with compatible low-voltage hybrid inverters, solar inverters, chargers, and energy storage system controllers. Final compatibility should be confirmed based on inverter brand, communication protocol, firmware, current rating, and installation design.
The user manual describes parallel battery connections but does not specify a maximum unit count. Confirm the permitted quantity with PVBAT for the exact battery/BMS version, inverter, communication setup, wiring and protection design before ordering.
The system supports CAN/RS485 communication, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth monitoring, IP54 ingress protection, and built-in casters for easier deployment and maintenance. Its LiFePO4 battery design supports 8000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, making it suitable for long-term backup power, solar storage, and daily cycling applications.
ELEPHANT-48628 is a battery cabinet and does not include a built-in inverter. It should be paired with a compatible inverter, hybrid inverter, MPPT charger, or energy storage control system. For home panel connection, grid-tied systems, permanent electrical installation, or multi-battery expansion, installation should be completed by qualified professionals in accordance with local electrical codes and safety requirements.
