Read MoreThe Polarium SLB48-230-146-5 is a 48V, 230Ah lithium-ion battery module engineered for critical backup and energy storage applications across telecommunications, industrial, and remote infrastructure environments. Built on Polarium's fifth-generation iron-based lithium-ion platform, this 19-inch 4U rack-mount unit delivers 11.04kWh of rated energy for long-duration runtime where reliability is essential.
Designed for longevity, the Polarium SLB48-230-146-5 provides up to 6,000 charge-discharge cycles at 100% depth of discharge (0.2C, 25°C, to 80% state of health), with a 20-year calendar life at 80% state of charge. Its iron-based cell chemistry supports stable performance under frequent cycling and varying load conditions, making it well suited to hybrid power systems incorporating solar, generator, and grid-assisted operation.
The battery operates across a wide thermal envelope, supporting discharge from -20°C to +60°C and charging from 0°C to +55°C. At 76.5kg, the module fits standard 19-inch rack infrastructure and carries an IP20 ingress protection rating, suitable for telecom shelters and other indoor installations. The unit is certified to IEC62619, IEC62368, and UN38.3.
Electrical performance is managed by an integrated battery management system (BMS) with a 100A circuit breaker and 6kW peak discharge capability for up to 60 seconds, supporting transient load handling during grid outages or switchover events. RS485 and dual RJ45 communication ports with Modbus protocol support enable integration with site controllers and network management platforms. The included Studio PC software provides local monitoring, configuration, and performance tracking, with remote connection available via Modbus.
For sites requiring enhanced physical security, the Polarium SLB48-230-146-5 includes the patented Anti-Theft Device, which disables battery function if the unit is removed from its installed location. The unit is also prepared for an optional GPS tracker.
