Pylontech US2000C
Description
Driving 5 kVA inverters from a single battery module.
Pylontech US5000 is the flagship 48 V / 4.80 kWh rack-mount LFP battery module delivering 100 A continuous discharge (4.8 kW output from a single unit) and 95% depth of discharge, engineered to halve cabinet space and cabling in high-power 48 V off-grid and residential systems.
100 A Continuous Power Output (4.8 kW)
A single module delivers enough continuous current to drive a 5 kVA low-voltage inverter at 100% capacity without throttling.
4.80 kWh High-Capacity Single Unit
Halves the number of battery modules, DC cables, and rack shelves required to build 10–20 kWh storage banks.
Deep 95% Usable Depth of Discharge
Delivers 4.56 kWh of usable energy per brick while retaining an extensive 6,000+ cycle calendar life.
Universal 48 V Inverter Interoperability
Out-of-the-box CAN/RS485 handshake compatibility with Victron Energy, SMA, Solis, GoodWe, and Deye.
More product details
Standard low-voltage batteries require connecting 2 or 3 modules in parallel just to supply the continuous current demanded by a 5 kW inverter. The US5000 provides 100 A continuous output from a single unit.
- Delivers 80 A recommended continuous current (approx. 3.8 kW) and up to 100 A max continuous current (4.8 kW).
- 200 A peak surge handling for 15 seconds absorbs heavy domestic water pump and compressor starts.
- Internal pre-charge soft-start circuitry prevents inverter capacitor inrush tripping during startup.

Halving module count and cabling complexity in multi-kWh banks.
Building a 15 kWh battery bank with smaller 2.4 kWh modules requires 6 packs, 12 heavy DC cables, and 12U of rack height. The US5000 builds the same bank with just 3 modules. Fits standard 19-inch telecoms and server racks with front-facing heavy-duty Amphenol terminals. Daisy-chain up to 16 modules in parallel (76.8 kWh total) on a single CAN bus without an external LV-Hub. Internal BMS balances cell voltages across 15S series strings in real time.
Holds LFP chemistry in the US5000 case
LFP cells sit in this 48 V brick. The case rating is IP20.
Takes recessed handles on the sides
Recessed handles sit on both flanks. The front stays free for ports and LEDs.
Talks over CAN from the faceplate
CAN or RS485 uplinks the bank. Link ports daisy-chain module to module.
Technical data
The apex 48 V low-voltage storage module engineered to minimize cabinet footprint and cabling complexity.
4.8 kWh high-capacity 48 V module delivering 100 A continuous power in a single chassis.
Maxing out Pylontech's 48 V low-voltage rack range, the US5000 delivers 4.80 kWh of LFP storage (4.56 kWh usable) and a massive 100 A continuous discharge capability. It halves rack space and inter-module cabling requirements for multi-kilowatt off-grid and residential retrofit installations.

Can one single US5000 module power a 5 kW inverter?
Yes. Delivers 100 A continuous current (approx. 4.8 kW DC power). Unlike smaller 2.4 kWh batteries that are limited to 25 A or 50 A, a single US5000 delivers 100 A continuous current ($48\text{ V} \times 100\text{ A} = 4,800\text{ W}$), allowing it to drive a 5 kVA inverter under full load on its own.

Chint DTSU666 smart meter
Item number: DLK-CHINT-DTSU666
most hybrid inverters need a grid-side meter to enforce zero-export or self-consumption limits; pair with a sized MBS KBU58 CT for the service's rated current.
