Lifepower4 Lithium Battery

$1,350per each

A 48V LiFePO4 server-rack battery that holds 5.12kWh and slots straight into a standard cabinet. The V2 adds auto-addressing and a Protocol 6 DIP switch, so closed-loop talk to an EG4 inverter sets up fast. Stack them as the bank grows, all the way to 64 units.

Overview

The workhorse rack battery.

The EG4 LifePower4 V2 is a 48V lithium iron phosphate battery in a server-rack case. Each unit stores 5.12kWh, runs on an internal 100A BMS, and is built from UL-recognized LiFePO4 cells. The V2 brings auto-addressing and an upgraded BMS, so closed-loop communication with an EG4 inverter comes up faster and stays reliable. It is solid hardware at a price that works for installers and DIY builds alike.

What it does well

5.12kWh per unit

51.2V nominal, 100Ah of LiFePO4 storage in a single rack slot. Add units to size the bank to the house.

6,000+ cycles

Over 6,000 deep cycles at 80% depth of discharge. That is years of daily use before capacity starts to fade.

Closed-loop ready

CAN bus and RS485 ports plus a Protocol 6 DIP switch. The inverter and battery talk, so charging and SOC stay accurate.

Auto-addressing

V2 sets each battery's address on its own when units are paralleled, which cuts setup time on multi-battery banks.

Safety built in

Dual on-board fire arrestors and an E-Stop rapid shutdown. UL1973 recognized, UL9540A passed.

Scales to 64

Parallel up to 64 batteries for 327.7kWh total. Start small and grow the bank without swapping hardware.

Where it fits

The LifePower4 is the rack battery we reach for on whole-home backup and off-grid jobs. It drops into a standard battery cabinet, pairs with EG4 hybrid inverters, and the server-rack form keeps the install neat and code-compliant. If you want a battery with an integrated screen, look at the EG4 LL-S.
