Revov E300 Lithium Battery 16.0kWh

REVOV E300 16kWh Lithium Battery

The REVOV E300 is a high-capacity 16kWh LiFePO4 battery designed for larger residential solar, backup and energy-storage systems. With 314Ah capacity at 51.2V, it provides substantial energy storage in a single battery.

For comparison, many residential lithium batteries provide around 5kWh of storage. The E300 offers roughly three times that capacity in one unit, making it particularly attractive for homes that want longer backup, greater overnight energy storage and increased use of daytime solar generation after sunset.

A particularly important advantage of the E300 is its high discharge capability. REVOV specifies a maximum continuous discharge current of 250A, which can be especially valuable when a single battery is being paired with a larger inverter.

Why Choose a 16kWh Battery?

Many home solar installations start with approximately 5kWh of battery storage. This can work well for essential loads, but households wanting to run more of the home from stored solar energy or maintain power for longer periods may require considerably more battery capacity.

At 16.0kWh, the REVOV E300 can store substantially more energy for use during the evening, overnight or during grid outages. It can also allow a solar installation to capture more surplus daytime production rather than exporting or wasting energy that could have been stored.

This makes the E300 particularly relevant for homes progressing beyond basic backup towards higher solar self-consumption and greater energy independence.

It is important to distinguish between battery capacity and inverter output. The E300’s 16kWh rating describes the amount of energy stored, while an inverter’s kW rating describes how much power it can deliver at a particular moment.

Who Is the REVOV E300 For?

• Larger residential solar systems requiring considerably more storage than a typical 5kWh battery.
• Extended backup applications where longer battery runtime is required during grid outages.
• Homes wanting greater solar self-consumption by storing daytime solar generation for evening and overnight use.
• Larger inverter installations where the battery’s discharge capability is an important part of system design.
• Off-grid and high-energy-independence systems requiring substantial battery storage.
• Existing REVOV R200 or B220 installations requiring a compatible expansion or upgrade path.

Key Benefits of the REVOV E300

• 16kWh in a single battery – substantial energy storage without requiring several separate 5kWh-class batteries.
• 314Ah LiFePO4 battery – lithium iron phosphate chemistry suited to regular solar and backup cycling.
• High discharge capability – a manufacturer-specified maximum continuous discharge current of 250A, particularly valuable with larger inverter systems where battery current can otherwise become a limiting factor.
• CAN Bus and RS485 communication – supports communication with a wide range of compatible inverter platforms.
• Integrated LCD display – provides convenient access to battery operating information and status.
• Long warranted service life – 6,000 warranted cycles at 80% depth of discharge and a 10-year warranted calendar life.
• R200 and B220 backwards compatibility – provides an important upgrade and expansion route for customers with earlier REVOV installations.

High Discharge Capability for Larger Inverters

One of the standout features of the REVOV E300 is its ability to deliver a relatively high amount of current from a single battery. REVOV specifies a maximum continuous discharge current of 250A.

This becomes especially important when pairing a battery with a larger inverter. A battery can have plenty of stored energy in kWh but still restrict the amount of power available to the inverter if the battery’s permitted discharge current is too low.

At the E300’s nominal voltage of 51.2V, 250A corresponds to approximately 12.8kW of DC power. This makes the E300’s high-current capability particularly relevant when considering 12kW-class inverter systems with a single battery.

The exact power available to the inverter will vary with battery voltage, state of charge, inverter efficiency, operating conditions and system configuration. A single E300 should therefore not automatically be assumed to support the full rated AC output of every 12kW inverter under all conditions.

The distinction becomes even more important with a 16kW inverter. An E300 can form part of a 16kW inverter system, but one battery cannot be expected to provide the inverter’s full 16kW output continuously from battery alone. Where sustained high loads are expected, additional battery capacity and discharge capability should be incorporated into the system design.

For customers comparing similarly sized batteries, this is why maximum discharge current matters alongside battery capacity: kWh determines how much energy is stored, while discharge capability helps determine how much power that stored energy can deliver at any one time.

REVOV R200 and B220 Expansion

The E300 is also particularly important for customers who already have an older REVOV R200 or B220 battery installation. REVOV specifies the E300 as backwards compatible for expansion of existing R200 and B220 sites.

This provides an upgrade path for customers with earlier REVOV battery systems rather than limiting the E300 to completely new installations.

Existing battery-bank configuration, inverter communication, firmware and overall system design should be checked before batteries are added or replaced. EcoHub can assist with confirming the proposed REVOV battery and inverter configuration before purchase.

Inverter Compatibility

The REVOV E300 is a 51.2V LiFePO4 battery intended for compatible 48V-class inverter systems and supports CAN Bus and RS485 communication.

Compatibility should not be assumed from battery voltage alone. The specific inverter model, supported battery communication protocol, firmware and proposed system configuration should be confirmed before installation.

This is particularly important with larger inverter systems, where both battery storage capacity and maximum discharge current need to be considered when determining how much battery capacity is required.

EcoHub can assist customers and installers with checking inverter and battery compatibility before ordering.

REVOV E300 Warranty and Battery Life

REVOV specifies the E300 with a 10-year warranted calendar life and 6,000 warranted cycles at 80% depth of discharge.

Actual battery life and performance depend on system design, installation, operating temperature, charge and discharge conditions and the way in which the battery is used.

Warranty coverage remains subject to REVOV’s current warranty terms and the battery being installed, commissioned and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.

Installation and System Design

At approximately 108kg, the E300 is a substantial stationary energy-storage battery and should be incorporated into a correctly designed solar or backup power installation.

Its IP20 rating means that installation location must provide suitable protection in accordance with REVOV’s requirements. The battery should be installed and commissioned by appropriately qualified personnel with the required electrical protection, cabling, battery communication and inverter configuration.

For larger 12kW and 16kW-class inverter installations in particular, battery-bank sizing should take into account not only the required number of kWh, but also maximum battery discharge current, expected peak loads and sustained power demand.

REVOV E300 FAQs

How much energy does the REVOV E300 store?

The REVOV E300 has a nominal storage capacity of 16.0kWh, with a rated capacity of 314Ah at 51.2V. This gives a single E300 roughly the nominal energy storage of three typical 5kWh-class residential lithium batteries.

Is 16kWh enough battery storage for a home?

For many homes, 16kWh represents substantial battery storage, but the correct capacity depends on electricity consumption, the loads being powered, solar array size and the desired backup duration.

A household primarily powering essential and moderate loads may achieve a long backup period from 16kWh, while a property running large electrical loads such as geysers, cooking equipment, pumps or air conditioning can consume the same amount of stored energy considerably faster.

Why is the E300’s 250A discharge current important?

The battery’s discharge current helps determine how much power it can provide to an inverter at a particular moment. The E300’s 250A maximum continuous discharge current is particularly useful with larger inverter systems because a lower-current battery can become the limiting factor even when it has adequate energy storage capacity.

Can one REVOV E300 be used with a 12kW inverter?

The E300’s high discharge capability makes it particularly relevant to 12kW-class inverter installations. At its nominal 51.2V battery voltage, 250A corresponds to approximately 12.8kW of DC power.

However, inverter losses, changing battery voltage, state of charge and other system limits mean that one E300 should not automatically be assumed to supply the full rated output of every 12kW inverter continuously. The proposed inverter and battery configuration should be checked before installation.

Can one REVOV E300 be used with a 16kW inverter?

An E300 can form part of a system using a 16kW inverter, but a single E300 cannot provide the inverter’s full 16kW rated output continuously from battery alone.

If the system is expected to sustain very high loads from battery power, additional battery capacity should be considered. The correct configuration depends on the inverter, expected loads and required backup capacity.

What is the difference between a 16kWh battery and a 16kW inverter?

kWh measures stored energy, while kW measures power. The E300’s 16kWh rating tells you how much energy the battery can store. It does not mean that it can continuously supply a 16kW load.

The amount of power available at a given time also depends on battery voltage, maximum discharge current, the inverter and the overall system configuration.

Is the REVOV E300 compatible with an existing REVOV R200 system?

Yes. REVOV specifies the E300 as backwards compatible for expansion of existing R200 sites. The existing battery-bank configuration and inverter setup should still be checked before an E300 is added.

Is the REVOV E300 compatible with the REVOV B220?

Yes. REVOV also specifies backwards compatibility for expansion of existing B220 installations. The proposed battery-bank configuration should be confirmed before installation.

Can the REVOV E300 work with Sunsynk, Deye and other inverters?

The E300 supports CAN Bus and RS485 communication and is intended for integration with compatible 48V-class inverter systems. Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific inverter model, firmware and proposed battery configuration before purchase.

Can the REVOV E300 be installed outdoors?

The E300 has an IP20 protection rating. It therefore requires an appropriately protected installation environment in accordance with REVOV’s installation requirements and should not be treated as an exposed outdoor battery.

How heavy is the REVOV E300?

The REVOV E300 weighs approximately 108kg. Its physical size and weight should be taken into account when planning delivery, positioning and installation.
