Hi all,

Thought I'd throw this out there to see if any geekzone members are interested...

I am importing Basengreen LiFePO4 16kWh (BR-OW-LV-16KWH) battery storage systems (wall-mount series) and currently have 7 units remaining from the last shipment that are available for purchase. They have been through an NZ electrical safety lab and so come with an NZ SDoC (supplier declaration of conformity - basically means they adhere to Worksafe NZ electrical safety standards) and CB test report.

These are premium quality energy storage units with high-quality batteries and BMS, bluetooth interface, an easy to use LCD touch screen as well as SoC% indicator.

Installation / user manual is in English and very throrough! (happy to email a copy of the manual if required)

Specs:

Model

BR-OW-LV 16KWH

Total Energy [KWH]

16.07

Capacity [Ah]

314

Nominal Voltage [V]

51.2

Operate Voltage Range [V]

43.2-57.6

MAX.Charge & Discharge Current[A]

200

Dimension[W×D×H,mm]

475 X 255 X 770

Net Weight[Kg]

112

Built-in breaker
1 x CAN/3 x RS485 interfaces
80% DoD (~13kwh usable)
Batteries are laser welded
Up to 16 units in parallel (~205KwH usable)
Wall mount bracket

10 year or 8000 cycle warranty, whichever comes first. They need to be installed by a qualified electrician for warranty purposes.

They are available for pickup from our warehouse on the North Shore, Auckland (although I'm happy to deliver these to you myself Auckland wide for free for any of the remaining units) Courier costs on top if outside of Auckland (they are 149kg boxed [pallet] or 119kg unboxed)

Compatible with numerous inverters...

Last 7 units in stock price is $4900 + GST per unit ($5635 including or basically about 35c per watt hour if you wanna calculate it that way :-) ) Will provide a 10% discount on the 2nd unit.

Datasheet: https://www.basenpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BR-OW-Seires-BasenGreen-Wall-Mounted-Battery_Datasheet.pdf

Please PM me or call if you are interested.

Look great. Sadly I have an Entelar / Huawei inverter that works with high voltage batteries. Thinking of getting a second inverter just to use use these cheaper batteries. Any inverter suggestions?

Also interested. I was looking at a Deye 6kW inverter (SUN-6K-SG04LP1-AU) because it supports UPS mode.

I'll be out all day but I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Highly recommend DEYE hybrid inverters, well priced, well featured, solid units, that support high charge/discharge amps (200A on my 8kw hybrid unit), they have a very good cloud app (wifi dongle comes with the unit) and if you run Home Assistant you can run the Solarman integration and point to the DEYE unit (dongles IP address) and get everything you need (and control time of day charging from gird etc if needed)

I'm in the same boat with a GoodWe inverter (HV support only) How does a second inverter with just a battery work in with an inverter with solar?

I can't give you an answer tonight, but I'll run some numbers tomorrow and see where we get.

We are high energy users during the day, so it would come down to how many days of the year we would actually benefit from a battery. I have five years of daily statistics.

I guess they must be installed inside? Do you know anyone in Wellington who would do a solar installation with them?

The last ones were installed in an outdoor shed.

Pretty easy for an accredited sparky to install to be fair, a positive cable, a negative cable, an Ethernet cable (supplied) from CANBUS on battery unit to CANBUS on inverter, then set the same protocol on both inverter and battery (usually pylon is sufficient) and tell your inverter how many amp hours the unit is and job done.

EDIT: oh and an earth cable from unit to ground

And for anyone running home assistant, we have these reporting battery info into HA via ESPHOME as well for some extra monitoring goodness :-)

I'm in the same boat as the user above with a Huawei inverter... Would it be possible to have that Huawei inverter replaced with something like a Deye system? Are the panels likely to be plug and play (I mean for an electrician, not me) and would that mean I can just start adding LV batteries?

(I have 2 strings of 3285Wp each)

Yes very likely you could just swap out the inverter with a hybrid Deye. You'd just need the inverter sized to suit your panels and check the MPPT voltage operating range. I'd say most likely an 8kW Deye hybrid inverter which supports 2+2 strings (up to 4 strings total, 2 per MPPT), max input power 10,400W (within your range) You'd just need the solar electrician to check the Voc for each string falls within the MPPT operating voltage range (125V - 425V)

So based on limited info, I'd say yes most likely - but you'd need to confirm with sparky based on your panel specs (or tell me Voc/Vmp and number of panels per string and I can confirm)
