Zucchetti's new battery has a nominal capacity of 5,12 kWh and a nominal voltage of 400 V. Suitable for C&I and photovoltaics residential systems.
Italy-based Zucchetti Centro Sistemi (ZCS) has introduced a new high-voltage lithium-ion battery. It claims the new product is particularly ideal for three-phase storage applications.
"With the ZCS – HV 5kWh battery, we offer a high-voltage solution that can be easily connected and installed," said ZCS innovation director Averaldo Farri. Each battery can be operated independently thanks to the integrated dc/dc converter present in each unit.
The battery measures 420mm x 708mm x 170mm and weighs 50kg. It has a rated capacity of 5,12 kWh and a rated voltage of 400 V. It also has an ambient operating temperature range of -10 C to 50 C and an IP65 protection level.
It comes with a 10-year warranty and can work for more than 6.000 cycles. A maximum of eight 5 kWh units can be connected to a single inverter, bringing the total capacity per inverter to 40 kWh.
“This battery works with any ZCS three-phase hybrid inverter,” Farri said. "To operate at their full potential, battery systems also need a base for assembly and support and a battery management unit (BMU) that manages the energy in the battery and the flow of communication to and from the inverter."
The new product will be available for purchase in early January 2023.
"Its configuration makes it particularly suitable for commercial and small industrial applications," said Farri. "Also, it can be used in all domestic applications where extended capacity is required to provide electricity during non-operating hours of the photovoltaic facilities. The lithium ion technology makes it suitable for high depth discharge when and if needed.”
