The REVOV R100 100Ah Battery Pack is a 2nd LiFe 16-cell, 51.2V, 100Ah, 5.1kWh battery module designed for energy storage systems. It integrates a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) with CAN Bus communications, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from backup power to solar integration. The battery utilizes automotive-grade 2nd LiFe cells and Revov's 16-cell technology to deliver superior performance across different load conditions, emphasizing safety, reliability, and longevity.
The primary function of the REVOV R100 is to provide reliable energy storage. It can serve as a backup power source, ensuring continuity during blackouts, or integrate seamlessly into solar systems where daily cycling is desired. For installations requiring communication with an inverter, the unit's CAN bus provides essential information such as State of Charge (SoC). In scenarios where inverter communication is not necessary, the REVOV R100 can function as a direct replacement for lead-acid batteries.
The battery is designed for parallel operation only, allowing users to expand their energy storage capacity by adding more units onto a shared busbar. This modularity supports phased approaches to reducing grid power usage. The integrated BMS is self-managing, offering multiple levels of protection, including over-charge voltage protection, over-discharge protection, over-current protection for discharge via thermal control, and short-circuit protection. It also includes an ON/OFF switch for manual control.
The REVOV R100 is engineered for ease of installation and flexibility. It can be oriented with its "face" to the front, top, or side, accommodating convenient wall and 19-inch rack mounting. This adaptability makes it suitable for various installation environments, including cabinets or wall mounts, with a recommendation to mount on the wall to mitigate water damage or flood risks.
For optimal performance and to comply with warranty conditions, specific charging parameters must be set on the inverter or charger. The charging process typically involves a bulk charge at constant current (CC) until the bulk/absorb voltage is reached, followed by an absorption charge where a constant bulk/absorb voltage (CV) is maintained. Charging terminates when the current drops below a specified threshold or voltage. Unlike lead-acid batteries, Lithium Ferro Phosphate batteries do not require a float charge, and the equalization function in the inverter should not be enabled.
The battery system features a dip switch guide for configuring master and slave units in a parallel setup, allowing for proper addressing of multiple battery units. It also provides guidelines for BMV (Battery Monitor) settings, which include total installed Ah, voltage offsets, and other parameters crucial for accurate monitoring.
The REVOV R100 is designed for robust and safe operation, but proper installation and adherence to guidelines are crucial for longevity and warranty validity. Trained and certified technicians are recommended for designing and installing systems to ensure safe and reliable operation.
The battery is equipped with an auto-start function, indicated by green LEDs. If these LEDs are not running, a soft press of the circular ON/OFF button will activate the system. If a red light appears on start-up, users are advised to contact REVOV for assistance.
Each battery bank must be fused on both positive and negative terminals with a 100A (Max rated DC) fuse, preferably using trip-breakers or in-line fuses. When connecting multiple batteries, they should be coupled to a common DC copper busbar. Care must be taken to ensure DC cables are of equal length to maintain balanced current distribution.
In the event that batteries enter a self-protective mode, voltage readings on the LCD may be negligible until the unit resets. If a prolonged shutdown or discharge to a low voltage occurs, a manual charge might be necessary to reactivate the energy storage bank. In such cases, contacting REVOV technical support is recommended.
For storage, the battery should be kept at approximately 50% charge state in a clean, dry, and ventilated environment (20-30°C), away from corrosive substances, heat, and fire. It should be fully charged once every 180 days during storage. During transport, the battery should be at approximately 70% charge state, packed with insulation and shockproof material, and handled with care to avoid damage from sudden jolts or collisions. It should not be transported with flammable, explosive objects, or sharp metal goods.
The battery pack incorporates multiple protection systems to mitigate hazards from failures. However, due to the inherent nature of electrical systems, users are advised to follow all safety precautions diligently. In case of electrolyte leakage, contact with the liquid or gas should be avoided, and immediate medical attention sought if exposure occurs. For fires, an extinguisher should be readily available, and the battery pack moved to a safe area if possible. Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, and foam are effective extinguishing agents for Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) battery fires.
