The BSLBATT Powerline-5 Lithium Battery offers advanced energy storage capabilities, making it an ideal choice for solar installers, homeowners, and businesses seeking reliable backup power. With Zambia experiencing frequent power cuts and rising electricity costs, the Powerline-5 provides a long-lasting and efficient alternative to traditional power sources. Below is a detailed look at its technical specifications and why it is a game-changer for the Zambian market.
Key Specifications and Their Benefits for Zambia
Nominal Voltage: 51.2V
The 51.2V nominal voltage ensures seamless integration with most solar power systems and inverters commonly used in Zambia, including Victron, Sunsynk, and GoodWe. This eliminates costly modifications and makes it easier for installers to implement the battery into new or existing setups.
Nominal Capacity: 100Ah
A 100Ah nominal capacity means the Powerline-5 battery can store up to 5.12 kWh of energy, offering substantial backup power. This is critical in Zambia, where load shedding can last several hours daily. With this capacity, users can power essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, Wi-Fi routers, and small office equipment during blackouts.
Compound Mode: 1P16S
The 1P16S cell configuration enhances the battery’s overall stability and efficiency, ensuring consistent power output. This makes this particularly beneficial for Zambian users relying on solar energy, as it guarantees smooth performance even during periods of fluctuating sunlight.
Charging Voltage: 58.4V
The 58.4V charging voltage allows for faster recharging, ensuring that the battery is ready for use after just a few hours of sunlight. This is advantageous in Zambia’s sunny climate, where efficient solar harvesting is key to energy independence.
Charge Current: Continuous (50A), Maximum (100A)
With a continuous charge current of 50A and a peak charge rate of 100A, users can recharge the BSLBATT battery in approximately 2 hours, maximizing the use of available solar power. This makes the Powerline-5 highly efficient in areas where grid electricity is unreliable.
Discharge Current: Continuous (100A)
A continuous discharge current of 100A allows the Powerline-5 to support high-power applications. For businesses and farms in Zambia, this means powering multiple high-wattage appliances or machinery without performance drops.
Minimal Energy Loss (≤ 2.5% Monthly Self-Discharge Rate)
With a low self-discharge rate, the Powerline-5 retains its stored energy for long periods, making it perfect for off-grid users and rural electrification projects in Zambia. Even if the battery is not frequently used, it remains a reliable backup power source.
Mode of Equilibrium: Passive Equilibrium
This self-balancing feature extends the battery lifespan by ensuring uniform charge distribution across cells.
Temperature Range: Charge (0℃~65℃), Discharge (-20℃~65℃)
The battery operates efficiently in Zambia’s hot climate, withstanding temperatures up to 65°C. This ensures reliable performance even during extreme weather conditions.
Space-Saving Design (Compact Dimensions)
With a compact size of 670 x 540 x 90 mm, the Powerline-5 is easy to install in homes, businesses, or solar farms where space is limited.
Why the Powerline-5 is Ideal for Zambia
1. A Reliable Backup for Load Shedding
ZESCO’s frequent power outages make energy storage crucial. The Powerline-5 provides a stable and cost-effective alternative, reducing reliance on diesel generators, which are expensive and polluting.
2. Cost Savings & Return on Investment (ROI)
- Reduces electricity costs by maximising solar energy usage.
- A longer lifespan (over 6,000 cycles) ensures savings on battery replacements.
- More affordable than running a generator, which can cost over ZMW 5,000 per month in fuel expenses.
3. Compatible with Zambia’s Popular Solar Inverters
The Powerline-5 is compatible with leading inverters used in Zambia, including:
- Victron Energy (ideal for hybrid and off-grid systems)
- Sunsynk (popular for residential solar)
- GoodWe (grid-tied solutions)
4. Availability in Zambia
