1. Key Features
Cell & Capacity: Uses 314Ah LiFePO₄ cells (230Ah nominal pack capacity) with 16kWh nominal energy at 51.2V nominal voltage.
Scalability: Supports up to 32 units in parallel (64 with CAN-Bridge), enabling system expansion to over 1 MWh.
Output Performance: Max continuous discharge current of 230A, peak of 280A (10s); max output power 11.8kW.
IP65 Enclosure: Dust-tight and water-jet protected, suitable for indoor or protected outdoor installation.
Integrated DC Breaker: Built-in DC disconnect switch with overcurrent protection, adding a layer of safety beyond the active fuse BMS.
Smart BMS: Intelligent cell balancing, active fuse protection, and safeguards against thermal runaway, overvoltage, and overcurrent.
Communication: CAN 2.0, RS485, Bluetooth + App for local monitoring and auto-networking.
Cycle Life: ≥6,000 cycles at 25°C, 70% EOL.
Heated Option: The SE-F16 Max-H variant includes integrated thermal management and optional heating for low-temperature operation.
2. Applications
Residential solar self-consumption: Stores daytime PV surplus for evening/night use, increasing self-consumption and reducing grid dependence.
Deye low-voltage hybrid systems: Native compatibility with Deye 48V/51.2V inverters for seamless integration.
Backup power: Provides essential circuit backup during grid outages for larger family homes.
Small commercial buildings: Suitable for light tertiary or small business energy storage needs.
Scalable installations: Expandable to 1MWh+ via parallel connection, accommodating growing energy demands.
3. FAQs
Q1: What is the difference between SE-F16-C and SE-F16 Max?
The Max version upgrades to IP65 protection (vs IP21), adds an integrated DC breaker, and includes advanced thermal management with optional heating for low-temperature stability. It is slightly larger and heavier than the SE-F16-C.
Q2: Can the SE-F16 Max be installed outdoors?
Yes. The IP65 enclosure permits protected outdoor installation, but it should be shielded from direct sunlight, heavy rain, and snow as much as possible.
Q3: How many units can be paralleled?
Up to 32 batteries in standard parallel configuration, or 64 with CAN-Bridge, reaching a total capacity of approximately 1,024kWh.
Q4: Does it work in cold climates?
The standard model charges from 0°C to 55°C and discharges from -20°C to 55°C. The SE-F16 Max-H heated variant extends the charging range down to -20°C with its integrated heating system.
Q5: What inverter compatibility does it require?
It is a low-voltage (48V/51.2V) battery. Its BMS must communicate with a compatible low-voltage inverter; native compatibility is strongest with Deye inverters, but other compatible brands may work with proper BMS communication.
Q6: What warranty is offered?
A 10-year manufacturer warranty is typically provided, with ≥6,000 cycle life and 50MWh guaranteed cumulative energy throughput.
