Why does the Leapton EL-A05 exceed standards?
1. Exceptional service life (6000+ cycles)
Equipped with highly stable LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, this battery provides over 6,000 cycles (at a temperature of 25°C). This exceptional longevity guarantees 80% of the initial capacity after 10 years of use. For the user, this represents more than 15 years of reliable storage before reaching the standard wear threshold.
2. Intelligent management with Smart BMS
The integrated Smart BMS (Battery Management System) is not just a safety feature; it is the real brain of your energy system.
- Total safety: It provides constant monitoring of voltage, current and temperature for safe use and increased durability.
- 1C performance: Unlike many batteries limited to 0.5C, the EL-A05 supports a charge and discharge rate of 1C at 25°C. This allows it to instantly release its full 5.12 kW of power to meet the power demands of your most power-hungry devices.
3. All-Weather Technology: Heating Function and IP65
The distinctive advantage of the Leapton EL-A05 is its ability to withstand harsh environments thanks to its heating function.
- Frost resistance: While cold weather often paralyses lithium batteries, the EL-A05 remains operational with a discharge range of up to -20°C.
- External protection (IP65): Certified with an IP65 protection rating, it is completely dustproof and protected against water splashes, allowing for worry-free installation outdoors or in unheated premises.
4. Modularity and total compatibility
The EL-A05 has been designed to evolve seamlessly with your energy needs:
- Massive parallelisation: Thanks to its optimised design, you can connect up to 15 units in parallel, achieving an impressive storage capacity of over 75 kWh.
- Hybrid inverter compatibility: It integrates perfectly with hybrid inverters (such as WKS, Deye, etc.) and retrofit systems, whether single-phase or three-phase.
- Advanced communication: It has RS485, RS232 and CAN ports for perfect synchronisation with most communication protocols on the market.
