Pytes V16 (heating, IP66)

Pytes V16 is a house battery that gathers the energy produced by the panels and makes it available when the sun no longer works. It is enclosed in a sealed housing, suitable both for indoors and outdoors, and it has a heating pad that starts in the cold, so that it can also charge in winter. Inside the enclosure an aerosol extinguisher is also fitted, which acts automatically if a fire appears, plus a switch that cuts the direct current.

16,07 kWh cover roughly the evening and night consumption of a large house, including a heat pump. The battery charges at 125 A, that is 6,4 kW, and delivers 150 A continuously, that is 7,68 kW, with a maximum of 200 A (10,245 kW) when needed. The declared service life is 8000 cycles, roughly over 20 years at one charge-discharge a day, and at their end the battery still keeps 70% of the capacity. It occupies 700 x 671 x 260 mm and weighs about 130 kg, so it is fixed on a load-bearing wall or set on a slab. The heating pad is active between -18 and 15 degrees C, so that in winter you do not lose the charging cycles.

51,2 V nominal, range 46,5-56,8 V, 314 Ah, 16,07 kWh; charge current 125 A (6,4 kW), discharge 150 A (7,68 kW), maximum 200 A (10,245 kW). Service life 8000 cycles at 90% DoD and 70% EOL; discharge between -20 and 55 degrees C, heating pad active between -18 and 15 degrees C. The IP66 enclosure allows indoor or outdoor mounting, on the wall or on the ground, at 700 x 671 x 260 mm and approx. 130 kg; equipped with a DC switch, pre-charge circuit and aerosol suppression module. Communication RS485, CAN, WiFi and dry contact, in closed loop with the main inverter brands; certifications UN38.3, CE, IEC62619, UL1973, UL9540, UL9540A, CEC, SGIP, 10 years warranty.

Who it suits

Suitable for a large home, with a heat pump or a charger for an electric car, in areas with severe winters where the battery stays outdoors.

Terms explained

• Closed-loop communication: The battery and the inverter talk to each other permanently: the battery says how full it is and how much current it accepts, and the inverter adapts, instead of working according to fixed settings.
• EOL 70%: The end of the declared service life: after 8000 cycles the battery does not stop, but still keeps about 70% of the initial capacity.
• Aerosol extinguisher: A small device mounted in the enclosure that automatically releases a substance which smothers the flame, without flooding the room with water or foam.
