Introduction

LBSA lithium iron phosphate battery pack is a household renewable energy storage solution developed and produced by Lithium Batteries SA. After fully installation, it is a low-voltage DC battery system with an operating voltage of 51.2V, and works with a low voltage inverter to realize the goal of energy storage for home application.
The battery pack supports parallel connection to expand capacity, which can meet various capacity requirements. It has a built-in battery management system (BMS), which can manage and monitor the pack and cell information including voltage, current and temperature. What’s more, BMS can balance cells charging and discharging to extend cycle life.
Features
- Battery cell is 3.2V 105Ah aluminium case prismatic cell.
- Battery cell is made from lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) with safety performance and longer
cycle life. - BMS has over-discharge, over-charge, over-current, high and low temperature warning and
protection functions. - BMS monitors charge and discharge state, and balances current and voltage of each cell.
- Flexible configuration, max. 16 packs can be connected in parallel for expanding capacity and power with 8 DIP switches.
- Working temperature range is from -20°C-50°C (Charging 0°C-50°C; discharging -20°C-50°C) with excellent discharge performance and cycle life.

High quality Grade A cells are inside the battery box
Judging by the current testing report below, if the battery pack charging and discharging at 0.2C, the battery pack could reach a cycle life of 6000 times or more at the remaining capacity of 80% capacity state at 25°C room temperature, 100%DOD.
- The real capacity of each single cell is 105Ah.
- The module inside comes with 2 cells in parallel and 8 of those pairs in series.
Advanced Battery Management System (BMS) inside
The BMS is applied to monitor current, voltage, temperature, protection against over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, over-temperature, under-temperature and short circuit. The BMS provides cell balancing and current limitation during the charging process to ensure a reliable safety and performance.
The BMS will automatically adjust the Available capacity after every full charge of 56v when discharged.
This capacity will be influenced by the Temperature as the cells generally have less capacity available under very cold temperatures.
BMS Functions
- Over charge protection
- Over discharge protection
- Overcurrent protection
- Cell balancing
- Temperature protection
- CAN communication to inverters and RS485 communication between battery packs
Compatible Inverters (with regards to CANbus Communication), all other inverters should have the charge and discharge cut-off set with accordance to section 2.2 on the Manual
- Victron
- Growatt(Straight11145 cable to be used from the battery CAN port and the inverter CAN port)
- Goodwe(Straight RJ45 cable to be used from the battery CAN port and the inverter CAN port)
- Sunsynk(Straight RJ45 cable to be used from the battery CAN port and the inverter CAN port)
- Deye(Straight RJ45 cable to be used from the battery CAN port and the inverter CAN port)
Installation
When connecting the batteries in Parallel the batteries should be connected to a central Busbar and from the busbar be distributed to the inverters with equal cable lengths.
