Product Details
CHARGEX® CXN48150-V248 - 48V 150Ah LiFePO4 Battery Proven Nokia-Qualified • 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 and Nokia, 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 & ALP-248E Compatible - Fully tested and approved for integration into 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.
