Deye RW-F16

A 16 kWh indoor LiFePO4 battery built on 314 Ah cells, delivering 8 kW of rated power with 90% round-trip efficiency and expansion to a stated 512 kWh.

Models Covered: DEYE-RW-F16

Manufacturer: Ningbo Deye Inverter Technology Co., Ltd

Application: The Deye RW-F16 concentrates more energy per unit than the 10 kWh class: 314 Ah LiFePO4 cells at 51.2 V yield 16 kWh, of which 14.4 kWh is usable at the recommended 90% depth of discharge. That single unit runs larger homes and small businesses at 8 kW of rated DC power, sustains 160 A of continuous current and absorbs starting surges with a 300 A ten-second peak. Round-trip efficiency of 90% means little of the solar harvest is lost on the way through. The IP20 enclosure belongs indoors - a garage, utility room or hallway plant space - hung on a wall or stood on the floor at 122 kg, isolated by its built-in 125 A two-pole breaker. It communicates over CAN2.0 and RS485, charges from 0 to 55 degrees C and discharges from -20 to 55 degrees C, working best at 15 to 35 degrees. Up to 32 units parallel toward a stated 512 kWh, with a stated warranty term of 10 years.

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 Sudan that is Sudanese Electricity Distribution Company (SEDC), Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

  • 16 kWh from 314 Ah cells: High-capacity 314 Ah LiFePO4 cells at 51.2 V deliver 16 kWh, with 14.4 kWh usable at 90% depth of discharge.
  • 300 A ten-second peak: Sustains 160 A continuously at 8 kW of rated power and absorbs 300 A surges for 10 seconds.
  • 90% round-trip efficiency: Returns 90% of the energy stored in it, across a life beyond 6,000 cycles to 70% end-of-life.
  • Indoor wall or floor unit: The IP20-rated, 122 kg unit at 480 x 830 x 235 mm mounts on an indoor wall or floor.
  • Expands to 512 kWh: Thirty-two units in parallel reach a stated maximum capacity of 512 kWh.
  • Certified with breaker built in: UN38.3 and MSDS certified, with a built-in 125 A two-pole circuit breaker at 60 Vdc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage class is the RW-F16 and what pairs with it?

Nominally 51.2 V and operating between 44.8 and 57.6 V, it communicates over CAN2.0 and RS485 - the profile of a low-voltage hybrid inverter companion.

Can the RW-F16 go outside?

No - its enclosure is rated IP20, so it needs an indoor location; the unit works best between 15 and 35 degrees C, charging at 0-55 and discharging at -20 to 55 degrees C.

How much surge can the RW-F16 absorb?

Beyond its 160 A continuous rating, it handles a peak discharge of 300 A for 10 seconds - headroom for motor and compressor starts.

What warranty does the RW-F16 state?

The stated warranty term is 10 years, alongside a rated energy throughput of 26.25/52.5 MWh and a cycle life above 6,000 cycles.

How big can an RW-F16 bank become?

Up to 32 units connect in parallel, with a stated maximum capacity of 512 kWh - enough scope for a small business to keep growing.
