Figures on this page are the manufacturer's own, measured at the test conditions the datasheet states — they do not change by country. What changes is the approval that has to be met before the unit is energised: in Saudi Arabia that is SEC, ECRA, SASO. Confirm the grid code, import requirements and any local certification with them, or with us, before you order.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
- Decade-spanning cycle life: LiFePO4 chemistry rated for more than 6,000 cycles while keeping 70% of capacity at end of life.
- 4.6 kWh ready every night: Each unit yields 4.6 kWh of usable energy at the recommended 90% depth of discharge.
- Sealed for the outdoors: The IP65 floor-standing cabinet shrugs off dust and water, beside the house or in the garage.
- Charging through the winter: A built-in heating function lets the pack accept charge at temperatures down to -20 degrees C.
- Room to grow to 184 kWh: Parallel up to 36 units, with CAN2.0 and RS485 keeping every one in step with the inverter.
- 16 MWh design throughput: Rated for 16 MWh of energy throughput and covered by a 10-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which inverters can the AI-W5.1-B work with?
It is a 51.2 V low-voltage battery with a 44.8-57.6 V operating window, so it pairs with low-voltage hybrid inverters that communicate over CAN2.0 or RS485.
How far can I expand an AI-W5.1-B system?
Up to 36 units can run in parallel, taking total capacity to 184 kWh; the AI-W line spans configurations from AI-W5.1-B up to AI-W30.7-B.
Can the AI-W5.1-B be installed outside?
Yes. The cabinet is rated IP65 and designed for floor mounting, with discharge supported from -20 to 55 degrees C and operation at altitudes up to 3,000 m.
What happens to this battery in cold weather?
Charging normally starts at 0 degrees C, but with the heating function active the pack accepts charge from -20 degrees C, so winter mornings do not lock it out.
How long should the AI-W5.1-B last?
The LiFePO4 cells are rated beyond 6,000 cycles with 70% capacity remaining, design energy throughput is 16 MWh, and the warranty runs for 10 years.
