16 kWh LiFePO4 Battery — Scalable to 320 kWh
16 kWh floor-stand LiFePO4 battery module with industry-leading 8,000-cycle warranty at 90% DOD. LCD touchscreen, CAN/RS485 communications, and parallel up to 20 units (320 kWh total) for whole-home backup and SME self-consumption applications.
Four datasheet-backed advantages for residential / light c&i battery deployments.
Lithium iron phosphate cells deliver superior thermal stability, long cycle life and intrinsic safety versus NMC alternatives. 8,000 @ 25 °C, 90% DOD, 70% SOH.
Plug-and-play CAN-protocol pairing with MG5RL · MG6RL · MG8RL · MG10RL hybrid inverters. 30+ third-party compatibility list also supported via official Sungrow battery compatibility matrix.
Parallel connection of 20+ units enables system scaling without controller upgrade. 51.2 V (range 44.8–57.6 V) bus voltage maintained across the parallel string.
Operating temperature −20 °C to +55 °C on discharge, 0 °C to +55 °C on charge. Natural convection — no fans, no maintenance.
All parameters sourced from Sungrow's official MBL160 datasheet.
