A single battery provides 16.076kWh of usable energy, reducing the number of individual battery modules required to build a large domestic energy storage system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the Fidus PRO particularly suitable for larger homes, properties with heat pumps, electric vehicles, high overnight electricity consumption and installations where a substantial amount of solar generation needs to be stored rather than exported to the electricity grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery supports 100% Depth of Discharge operation. Pylontech sets the default minimum State of Charge at 5%, which can be adjusted according to the requirements of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eHigh Power for Demanding Household Loads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery capacity determines how much energy can be stored, but power capability determines how much equipment can be operated at the same time. The Fidus PRO has been designed for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 16kWh battery can provide approximately 10kW of continuous power and support approximately 15kW for short periods of up to 15 seconds when connected to a suitable inverter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery provides up to 200A continuous discharge current and a 300A peak charge\/discharge capability for 15 seconds.

The heating function is available in ambient conditions down to -20°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a major advantage for UK and European installations where batteries may be installed in garages, external plant areas, outbuildings or suitable outdoor locations and experience very low winter temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heating system intelligently evaluates battery temperature, State of Charge, charging and discharging status and the availability of an external energy source before determining how heating energy should be supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeating parameters can also be configured through the battery display or compatible Pylontech application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eIP65 Outdoor Solar Battery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pylontech Fidus PRO is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. Its IP65 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the C5-M anti-corrosion rating provides additional protection for demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery can operate in environments with 5% to 95% relative humidity without condensation and at altitudes of up to 4,000 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the Fidus PRO particularly useful where there is insufficient space inside the property for a large domestic battery system.
