HB Series stacked LiFePO4 battery, 5.12–16.08 kWh

A 51.2 V module designed to be stacked: start at 5.12 kWh and add modules as the load grows, without changing the inverter or the wiring topology.

Storage that arrives in stages

Most residential storage is bought twice: once when the system is installed, and again when the family adds an EV or a heat pump. The HB is built around that second purchase. Every stack position carries the same 51.2 V busbar, the same BMS addressing scheme and the same case footprint per capacity class, so adding a module is a mechanical operation rather than a redesign.

Stack geometry and cable routing

Modules sit on a steel base with anti-slip pads; the inter-module busbar is bolted behind a removable cover, and the DC output is taken from the bottom module. Keep the stack against a wall for stability and leave 200 mm above the top module — the terminal cover hinges upward.

Because the stack is floor-standing, the load path goes into the floor rather than the wall. On a suspended timber floor, put the stack over a joist or a spreader plate; 234 kg concentrated on four feet is not a problem on a concrete slab and is a problem on a floating floor.

BMS behaviour in a stack

The master module polls the slaves over an internal bus, sums the state of charge and presents a single battery to the inverter. If one module goes offline — a cell group out of balance, an over-temperature, a loose busbar — the master reports reduced capacity rather than dropping the whole string, which keeps the site running until someone attends.

Key Features

  • 51.2 V across the series — 100, 206, 280 and 314 Ah
  • 5.12 kWh to 16.08 kWh per stack position, expandable in the field
  • Stacking base and inter-module busbar allow capacity growth without rewiring
  • Built-in intelligent BMS, 100–200 A charge and discharge
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as standard; CAN and RS485 to the inverter
  • Over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature protection
  • 5-year warranty, 20-year design life on the LiFePO4 cells
  • Floor-standing stack keeps weight off the wall

Applications

Staged residential storage

Buy 5 kWh now and add a module next year — the base, busbar and BMS addressing are already sized for four.

Off-grid solar

Deep daily cycling at 51.2 V, with the discharge current to run a well pump or workshop load.

Small commercial backup

Two or three stacks in parallel cover a shop, clinic or small office through an outage.

FAQ

How many modules can be stacked?
Four per stack on the standard base, giving 20.5 kWh with 100 Ah modules or 64 kWh with 314 Ah modules. Beyond that, run parallel stacks rather than a taller tower.
Can I add a module later?
Yes. Order the expansion module with the matching busbar kit; the BMS auto-addresses and the inverter sees the new capacity after a restart.
Does stacking change the inverter requirements?
No. The stack stays at 51.2 V, so the inverter, breaker and cable sizing are unchanged — only the current rating of the inter-module busbar changes.
What is the footprint?
The base is 540 × 500 mm for the smallest module and 680 × 560 mm for the 280 and 314 Ah modules. Plan 200 mm above the top module for cable access.
