A 48V battery is a high-voltage power solution that commonly used in applications that demand greater efficiency and power output, such as electric vehicles, golf carts, off-grid solar energy storage, and marine setups.
48V lithium ion batteries outperform AGM and GEL batteries in key aspects such as lifespan, efficiency, and performance.
LiFePO4 batteries offer 4,000–15,000 cycles, lasting up to 10 years, compared to AGM and GEL batteries, which typically last 200–500 cycles or 2–3 years. LiFePO4 also have a higher energy density than AGM or GEL batteries for the same capacity and providing more energy in a compact form.
Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries charge faster and more efficiently. Our 48V LiFePO4 batteries can be fully charged in as little as 1 hour, while AGM or GEL batteries take 10 hours to fully charge. Overall, LiFePO4 batteries are the superior choice for long-term and high-performance energy storage.
The Redodo 48V lithium batteries support connecting up to 4 packs in parallel, creating a system of up to 48V (51.2V) 400Ah. However, series connections are not supported. All connected batteries must be of the same brand, type, BMS, and capacity, and should be purchased within one month of each other to ensure compatibility.
Yes, our 48V LiFePO4 lithium battery can be used as a deep cycle marine battery, and is ideal for 48V electric outboard motors, travel trailers, solar off-grid system, and home storage. These batteries are lightweight, durable, and provide excellent energy efficiency, making them suitable for powering marine equipment.
The charging time depends on the battery capacity and the charger’s output current. For example, a 48V 100Ah battery using a 20A charger would take around 5 hours to fully charge, while using a 40A charger can reduce charging time to about 2.5 hours.
The backup time depends on the battery capacity and your power usage. For instance, a Redodo 48V 100Ah battery provides 5.12kWh of energy. If your system draws 1,000W (1kW) continuously, it can run for about 5.12 hours. Lower power consumption extends backup time.
However, the actual backup time can be affected by various factors, including inverter efficiency, ambient temperature, depth of discharge, and the type and number of devices being powered.
To charge a 48V LiFePO4 battery, use a dedicated lithium battery charger like the Redodo 58.4V 18A LiFePO4 Battery Charger with a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charging profile. Avoid using chargers meant for lead-acid batteries, as they have different charging mode which is not designed to charge lithium batteries.
These 48V batteries can also be charged by solar panels with MPPT solar charge controller, or a generator with a lithium battery charger.
No, a 12V charger is not suitable for charging a 48 volt lithium battery. It does not provide the required voltage and could fail to charge it. Always use a charger that matches the battery’s nominal voltage, for example, a 14.6V charger for a 12V lithium battery, a 58.4V charger for a 48V lithium battery.
Yes, Redodo’s 48V LiFePO4 batteries are ideal for golf carts. They’re designed for high-discharge applications, providing stable and reliable power output. The batteries include an upgraded BMS with protections against overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent, short circuits, and high & low-temperature. They’re also lighter and more efficient than lead-acid batteries, improving cart performance and range.
Redodo 48V battery can last up to 10 years under proper maintenance. It offers over 4,000 cycles at 100% Depth of Discharge (DOD) and up to 15,000 cycles at 60% DOD, which is significantly longer than traditional lead-acid batteries.
Yes. These batteries can be connected to solar systems. Just ensure your solar charge controller and inverter are lithium-compatible and correctly configured for a 48V battery’s voltage.
48V and 51.2V LiFePO4 batteries refer to the same battery type, but the numbers highlight different aspects. "48V" is a nominal voltage class commonly used for system compatibility and general reference, while "51.2V" is the actual rated voltage of a 48V LiFePO4 battery. This means when you see a 51.2V LiFePO4 battery, it’s technically a 48V system battery with more precise voltage labeling.
Understanding this difference is important for matching chargers, inverters, and other components, especially since the full charge voltage can reach up to 58.4V.
