BYD:
Founded in 1995, Build Your Dreams (BYD) is a pioneer in battery technology. The BYD company, based in Shenzhen China, is focused on four different industry sectors; Automotive, Rail Transit, Electronics and New Energy which encompasses solar and battery systems. BYD produces a variety of different lithium chemistries, however, the LFP or Lithium Ferro Phosphate, is the chemistry of choice for all stationary applications due to the increased safety and stability.
BYD’s new Battery-Box Premium range is available in three main variants; the high voltage HVS & HVM range, and two lower voltage 48V options, the LVS and the LVL Premium.
Battery-Box Premium HVS / HVM
The Battery-Box Premium HVS is BYD’s award-winning cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and consists of 2 to 5 HVS battery modules connected in series. This enables a usable capacity of 5.1 to 12.8 kWh to be achieved. If even more capacity is required, the direct parallel connection of up to 3 identical Battery-Box Premium HVS enables a maximum capacity of 38.4 kWh. Later scaling is possible by adding further HVS modules or parallel HVS towers. Thanks to the patented modular plug-in design, no internal cabling is required, which makes the high-voltage storage system particularly user-friendly. Thanks to its compatibility with leading 1-phase and 3-phase inverters, the battery storage system offers a high degree of flexibility, meets the highest safety standards and offers a long service life and high performance. The high discharge capacity, backup power and off-grid capability enable the system operator to make their home self-sufficient. This makes this home storage system the perfect option for anyone who wants to optimize their self-consumption and increase their self-sufficiency.
The Battery-Box Premium HVM is the big brother of the HVS storage system. A Battery-Box Premium HVM consists of 3 to 8 HVM 2.76 kWh battery modules, which are connected in series to achieve a usable capacity of 8.28 to 22,08 kWh. In addition, the direct parallel connection of up to 3 identical Battery-Box Premium HVM enables a maximum capacity of 66.24 kWh. As with the HVS, scalability is possible at any time by adding further HVM modules or parallel HVM towers. Apart from the capacity, the Battery-Box Premium HVM differs only slightly from the HVS.
Battery-Box Premium LVS
In contrast to the HVS/HVM, the Battery-Box Premium LVS is a low-voltage battery storage system. The main difference between the HVS/HVM and the LVS/LVL is the voltage level, which is lower for low-voltage batteries. A Battery-Box Premium LVS contains between 1 and 6 LVS battery modules stacked in parallel and can achieve a usable capacity of 4 to 24 kWh. At the same time, up to 16 Battery-Box LVS 16.0 can be connected in parallel to achieve a maximum total capacity of 256 kWh. After commissioning, the LVS can be flexibly scaled by adding further LVS modules or parallel towers.
Battery-Box Premium LVL (2021)
The BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL is a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for use with an external inverter. The Battery-Box Premium LVL can be scaled to meet all project requirements, no matter how large they may be. Starting with a capacity of 15.36 kWh with the LVL15.4, the battery can be expanded to a maximum of 983 kWh by connecting up to 64 batteries in parallel (via a battery management unit). The LVL (2021) version is fully compatible with older LVL versions and brings additional benefits such as even easier installation, space savings by stacking 2 LVL 15.4, powerful emergency/backup power and off-grid functionality.
