Powertron's 48V Lithium Battery uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cell technology to deliver a safer, longer-life alternative to VRLA batteries for telecom, energy storage, medical, marine and railway backup applications. Available across 12V to 150V platforms with AH capacity customised to your backup requirement, units support multi-unit parallel connection for scalable capacity. This page covers features, specification, the available voltage/capacity matrix, and how lithium compares to VRLA for backup power.
| Parameter | Specification | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Chemistry | LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) | More thermally stable chemistry than other lithium-ion types — a material consideration for indoor and enclosed installations. |
| Voltage Platform | 12V / 24V / 48V / 96V / 110V / 150V | One product family covers small backup units through high-voltage DC plant applications. |
| Capacity (AH) | Customised to requirement | Backup runtime is engineered to your load and outage duration rather than a fixed catalogue AH. |
| Communication | RS485 / RS232 | Plugs into existing monitoring and SCADA infrastructure without a protocol gateway. |
| Parallel Operation | Multi-unit parallel connection supported | Capacity is scaled by adding units as load grows, without replacing the installed base. |
| Protection | Built-in advanced BMS protection | Over-charge, over-discharge, over-current and thermal faults are managed automatically — the layer that separates a battery pack from a raw cell assembly. |
| Voltage | AH |

| 12 | Customised to requirement |

| Application | Recommended Voltage |

| Telecom cabinet / small backup | 12V – 48V |
| Energy storage / DC plant | 48V – 96V |
| Railway / high-voltage DC systems | 110V – 150V |
Powertron's 48V Lithium Battery is built around LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells, which are managed by an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) that continuously monitors individual cell voltage, temperature and current. The BMS enforces protection limits — cutting off charge or discharge before over-voltage, over-current or thermal thresholds are exceeded — and balances charge across cells to keep the whole pack operating within its safe window over thousands of cycles.
RS485/RS232 communication exposes state-of-charge, state-of-health and fault status to an external monitoring system, so operators can track battery condition remotely rather than relying on periodic manual inspection. Because units support multi-unit parallel connection, additional battery packs can be added in parallel as backup capacity requirements grow, without redesigning the DC bus they connect to — which is what makes this platform suited to phased telecom, data centre and energy-storage rollouts.
| Industry | Application | Load / Duty Character | Recommended Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telecom & Data Centre | DC plant battery backup | Continuous float, deep-cycle capable | 48V, capacity per backup-time requirement |
| Energy Storage | Solar/renewable backup and load shifting | Cyclic, high cycle-count | 48V – 96V, high AH |
| Railway / Metro | Onboard and trackside backup power | Continuous, vibration-exposed | 110V – 150V, ruggedised |
| Medical | Critical equipment backup | Continuous, high-reliability | 48V, monitored via RS485 |
| Marine | Vessel backup and auxiliary power | Continuous, harsh environment | 24V – 48V |
| Aerospace & Defence | Field and platform backup power | Continuous, ruggedised | Custom voltage, high cycle life |
| Criteria | 48V Lithium (LFP) | VRLA Battery |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | High — thousands of cycles typical of LFP chemistry | Lower — typically a few hundred cycles |
| Weight for Equivalent Capacity | Lighter | Heavier |
| Thermal Stability | High, LFP is a comparatively stable lithium chemistry | Stable but sensitive to overcharging |
| Operating Temperature Tolerance | Wider | Narrower — capacity derates faster in heat |
| Communication / Remote Monitoring | RS485/RS232 built-in | Typically requires an external monitoring add-on |
| Maintenance | Low, BMS-managed | Periodic inspection/topping up depending on type |
| Total Cost of Ownership Over Battery Life | Often lower given cycle life and reduced replacement frequency | Lower upfront cost, more frequent replacement |
| Multi-Unit Scalability | Native parallel connection support | Parallel possible but less integrated monitoring |
Voltage platforms from 12V to 150V are available with AH capacity built to your backup requirement. Powertron can also configure remote asset management add-ons, custom communication protocols beyond RS485/RS232, ruggedised enclosures for rail, marine or defence duty, and multi-unit parallel racks pre-wired for scalable installation. Share your load profile and required backup duration and the team will size the pack and confirm parallel-unit configuration before quotation.
Every 48V Lithium Battery is built at Powertron India's own manufacturing facility in Wagle Estate, MIDC, Thane (Maharashtra), where design, winding, assembly, and testing are carried out in-house rather than outsourced. Units go through a documented quality process before dispatch, and Powertron holds ISO, CE, BIS, and GeM empanelment credentials, with manufacturing recognised under the Make in India and MSME programmes. Beyond Thane, Powertron supports customers through sales offices in Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Tamil Nadu, and serves export markets through international sales offices in Dubai, Singapore and Malaysia. Post-installation, the same team that engineers the unit is available for commissioning support, spares, and after-sales service, so buyers are not left dealing with a reseller once the order ships.
LFP (lithium iron phosphate) is a comparatively thermally stable lithium chemistry, which is a meaningful safety consideration for batteries installed indoors or in enclosed cabinets.
12V, 24V, 48V, 96V, 110V and 150V, with AH capacity customised to your requirement.
Yes, the battery is designed for multi-unit parallel connection, so capacity can be scaled by adding units.
RS485 and RS232 as standard, allowing integration with existing telecom, data centre or SCADA monitoring systems.
Advanced remote asset management is available as an optional feature — confirm this requirement when requesting a quotation.
LFP lithium batteries generally deliver a significantly higher cycle count than VRLA before capacity degrades — see the comparison table above.
Over-charge, over-discharge, over-current and thermal protection are managed automatically by the integrated Battery Management System.
It offers a higher operating temperature range than typical VRLA batteries; confirm your specific ambient conditions when enquiring for a matched configuration.
