FORT’s affordable internally-heated 5kWh rackmount battery option is Pytes V5.
The Pytes V5 LiFePO4 Battery is a well-designed, high-performance battery with a powerful BMS for added safety. Compact and easy to install, the Pytes V5 is maintenance free and can be wired in parallel to add more storage capacity. Each battery has a nominal voltage of 51.2V and nominal capacity of 100Ah, adding up to 5.12kWh of nominal energy.
With a low-consumption built-in heater that automatically starts in cold temperatures, you can safely charge at below-freezing without damaging the battery. The V5 also has a higher charge and discharge rate of 100A making it compatible with residential, small commercial, and telecommunications systems.
The integrated heating function has a typical operating range of -4°F to 50°F. If the battery temperature falls below 41°F, the heating feature is initiated. Using charging current from the charging source, the heater will raise the battery temperature up to 50°F. The heater consumes up to 180W (per battery) from the charging source and will heat the battery at up to 10°C/hour. Because the heater is powered by the charging source, it does not affect the battery's state of charge (SOC).
If the battery temperature is between 35°F - 41°F (2°C - 5°C) the heater will initiate and the battery will be charged at the same time until the battery reaches a temperature of 50°F (10°C), at which point the heater will turn off and the battery will continue to be charged. If the battery is below <35°F (<2°C), the charging current will only be directed into the heating system until the battery rises above 41°F (5°C), at which point the battery will be charged normally.

FORT’s affordable battery option is the MNPowerFlo5 from MidNite.
MidNite is committed to providing innovative reliable products to the solar industry with ongoing adaptations based on customer demand. The MNPowerflo is truly plug and play - taking things to another level. No dip switches to set. No programming to do, just plug in the communications cable and you are done.
The MidNite Pro app shows you status on the entire system. No more going to different places to get info on the charger, inverter, loads, MPPTs, and battery status. Everything is right there.
Seamless Updates - MidNite Solar will periodically release customer requested feature updates on battery and inverter firmware. This process has historically caused one or the other unit to not work correctly due to incompatibility between batteries and the inverter. Those days are gone with the MNS batteries and the ONE inverter. Updates are seamless and never glitchy as the new features and updates are fully tested before release. One or both components will be updated seamlessly as required. So you can put your mind at ease.
Real time monitoring and control through our web based app allows you to view your system online or view the inverters performance from the built in display.
