Product Details
CHARGEX® CXN48150-V248 - 48V 150Ah LiFePO4 Battery Proven Nokia-Qualified • Vertiv ALP-248E Compatible • SiFi Networks FiberCity® Edition
The CHARGEX CXN48150-V248 is the field-proven, custom-engineered 48V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery solution developed in close collaboration with SiFi Networks, Nokia, and Vertiv for reliable backup power in streetside telecom cabinets and aggregation huts. This prismatic-cell battery was specifically designed, iterated, tested, and qualified to meet the rigorous demands of SiFi’s FiberCity® deployments, delivering superior runtime, hot-swap capability, earthquake resistance, and environmental protection compared to traditional VRLA lead-acid systems.
Key Features & Advantages
- Nokia-Qualified & Vertiv ALP-248E Compatible - Fully tested and approved for integration into Vertiv ALP-248E streetside cabinets (no modifications required) and Nokia-integrated fiber networks.
- SiFi Networks FiberCity® Proven - Deployed and validated across multiple live SiFi FiberCity® projects, including Simi Valley (CA), Oceanside (CA), Escondid (CA), Farmington Hills (MI), fiber deployments.
- Hot-Swap Ready - Seamless field exchange: one battery powers the load while the second is swapped, eliminating downtime.
- Extended Runtime - >12 hours full cabinet load support (paired 300Ah configuration); >6 hours at 50A discharge.
- Earthquake-Resistant Design - Customized mounting Brackets on existing cabinet beams + custom restraints for seismic stability.
- Rugged & Field-Ready - IP-rated enclosure (dust/water protection during operation and transport),
- Durable anodized aluminum enclosure - provides superior corrosion resistance and scratch protection, ensuring long-term reliability and safe, damage-free hot-swap handling in field environments.
recessed IP68 Anderson connectors (non-protruding, perpendicular mating), dual recessed handles (front + lid). - High Cycle Life & Safety - >6,000 cycles (80% capacity after 5,000 at 100% DOD), advanced BMS with cell balancing, OVP/UVP, OCP, short-circuit protection, auto-recovery, NSD (nail-penetration thermal runaway prevention), and OSD (overcharge fuse protection).
- Fast Charging & Efficiency - Compatible with 5kW rackmount chargers (0–90% SOC in <90 minutes), >90% round-trip efficiency.
- Lightweight & Modular - 130 lbs per unit; series (up to 96V) or unlimited parallel connections.
