Description
Description:
- The Pylontech UP5000 is a reliable 48V LiFePO4 battery designed for residential solar storage, load-shedding protection, backup power, solar self-consumption, and off-grid energy systems.
With 4.8kWh of total capacity and 4.56kWh of usable energy, the UP5000 provides dependable stored power for household appliances, lighting, refrigeration, security systems, internet equipment, and other essential loads during power interruptions.
MORE USABLE ENERGY:
- The UP5000 provides up to 95% Depth of Discharge under approved operating conditions, allowing more stored solar energy to be used for evening consumption, peak electricity periods and backup power.
LONG-LASTING LIFEPO4 TECHNOLOGY:
- LiFePO4 battery chemistry provides excellent thermal stability, dependable performance, and a long service life. The UP5000 is rated for more than 4500 cycles under specified operating conditions, making it suitable for regular solar charging and daily backup use.
SMART INVERTER COMMUNICATION:
Integrated CAN and RS485 communication allows the battery to exchange operating information with compatible inverters. This enables coordinated management of charging, discharging, State of Charge, temperature, and battery protection.
INTEGRATED BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:
- The internal Battery Management System continuously monitors cell voltage, battery temperature, current and operating status. It provides protection against overcharging, over-discharging, excessive current, short circuit and abnormal temperature conditions.
MODULAR AND EXPANDABLE:
- The UP5000 is suitable for both single-battery installations and larger multi-battery energy storage systems. Additional compatible battery capacity can be added as energy requirements increase, subject to approved system configuration and inverter limitations.
FEATURES:
- 4.8kWh nominal battery capacity
- 4.56kWh usable energy
- Up to 95% Depth of Discharge
- 48V low-voltage battery platform
- Safe and stable LiFePO4 battery chemistry
- More than 4500 rated cycles
- CAN and RS485 inverter communication

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
- The UP5000 has an IP20 rating and must be installed indoors or inside a suitable protective battery enclosure. The installation location should be dry, adequately ventilated and protected from rain, direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture and extreme temperatures.
Installation and commissioning must be completed by a qualified solar installer. Inverter compatibility, firmware, CAN or RS485 communication settings, cable sizing, protection devices and battery configuration must be confirmed before installation.
- When adding the UP5000 to an existing battery system, the battery models, firmware versions, State of Charge, operating voltage, battery condition and correct connection sequence must be checked before commissioning.
- Warranties: All inverters and batteries must be installed by a qualified electrical wireman or Master electrician with a valid registration with the Department of Labour. A valid electrical certificate of compliance (COC) must be issued once installed, specific to the installation of the backup or solar system. The installation must be compliant with SANS 10142 and ALL its parts. Any warranty claim submitted without installation photos, a valid COC, and proof of a qualified wireman/master electrician installing the unit, can be rejected and will render the warranty claim null at the void. The serial Numbers of the units also need to match for the item that was sold as to avoid tampering or returning of another similar item with a different serial number.
