Description
Pytes V5° battery with built-in heating
How does it work?
The integrated battery heating system is powered exclusively by the charging source, such as the inverter or charge controller (regardless of the devices supplying current to charge the battery). The heater draws up to 180 W from the charging source (per battery) and will heat the battery by up to 10°C per hour. The heater operates within a typical operating range of -20°C to 10°C. If the battery temperature drops below 5°C, the heater will switch on, using power from the charging source to raise the temperature to 10°C. If the battery temperature is between 2°C and 5°C, the heater will switch on and the battery will be charged (at the same time) until the battery reaches a temperature of 10°C, at which point the heater will switch off and the battery will continue to be charged. If the battery is below 2°C, the charging current will be directed solely to the heating system until the battery rises above 5°C, at which point the battery will charge normally. The heating system will not affect the battery’s SOC.
The Pytes V5° battery requires 4U of space to allow the bus to connect correctly between batteries and to facilitate adequate cooling. For example, you will need a server rack of at least 12U to allow for the installation of three batteries.
