Pytes V16: 16kWh of Outdoor-Ready Solar Storage in One Battery
The Pytes V16 is a 16kWh, 51.2V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery built for home, off-grid and small commercial solar storage. It packs 314Ah of capacity into one wall- or floor-mounted unit and delivers up to 10.24kW of power. On top of that, its IP66 enclosure and built-in self-heating let you install it outdoors, in a garage or on a shaded wall, in heat or cold.
Most homes need two or three standard batteries to reach 16kWh. That means more cables, more connections and more wall space. The V16 does the job in one unit. So you get whole-home backup capacity with a cleaner install, fewer failure points and a simpler path to expansion. And when your needs grow, you can add up to 16 batteries in parallel for 256kWh of storage, with no extra hub.
Why Choose the Pytes V16
16kWh in a single battery. One V16 stores 16.07kWh, about the same as three standard 5kWh rack batteries. As a result, a single unit can run essential circuits through the night or carry a home through a full-day outage.
Built for outdoor installation. The IP66 enclosure seals out dust and powerful water jets. Meanwhile, C4-M corrosion resistance protects it in humid and coastal climates. In other words, you don't need a battery room or an extra protective cabinet.
Self-heating for cold climates. LiFePO4 cells can't safely charge below freezing. That's why the V16's integrated heating film warms the cells automatically, so the battery keeps charging from solar on cold mornings without manual intervention.
Layered safety you can verify. Tier 1 automotive-grade 314Ah cells sit inside a pack with built-in aerosol fire suppression and an ESS emergency shutdown function. The V16 also carries UL 1973, UL 9540 and UL 9540A certification. That's the paperwork inspectors, utilities and insurers look for.
High power output. The V16 supports 125A recommended charging and up to 200A of discharge, which equals 10.24kW from one battery. So it can start well pumps, air conditioners and other heavy loads during an outage.
Scales to 256kWh without a hub. Connect up to 16 V16 batteries in parallel using the included cascading cable. Start with one, then add more as your solar array, EV or business grows.
8,000-cycle design life and a 10-year warranty. Cycling once a day, 8,000 cycles works out to more than 20 years of service. Pytes also backs every V16 with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
How Much Backup Does the Pytes V16 Provide?
Runtime depends on what you power. For example, a home drawing an average of 1.5kW gets roughly 9 to 10 hours from one V16. Two batteries (32kWh) typically cover a full day of essential loads, including the fridge, lighting, internet, a well pump and a few air conditioning cycles. For whole-home backup with central AC or an EV charger, plan three or more units.
Pair It With the Right Inverter
The V16 uses closed-loop communication over CAN and RS485. This lets your hybrid inverter read the battery's state of charge, voltage and temperature in real time and charge it precisely. Notably, it's UL 9540 listed with Sol-Ark hybrid inverters, which makes permitting simpler in the US. For other brands, check Pytes' current compatibility list or ask our team before you order.
Also match battery count to your inverter's battery current. One V16 supplies up to 200A, so inverters that draw more than that need two or more batteries in parallel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many kWh is the Pytes V16?
The Pytes V16 stores 16.07kWh at a nominal 51.2V and 314Ah. That makes it one of the highest-capacity single 48V batteries available for residential solar storage.
Can the Pytes V16 be installed outside?
Yes. The IP66 enclosure protects against dust and powerful water jets, and C4-M corrosion resistance protects it in humid or coastal areas. For best performance, mount it out of direct afternoon sun.
Does the Pytes V16 work in freezing temperatures?
Yes. Its built-in heating film warms the cells automatically in cold weather. That way, the battery can keep charging when temperatures drop below freezing.
Is the Pytes V16 UL 9540 certified?
Yes. The V16 carries UL 9540, UL 9540A and UL 1973 certification and is CEC listed. It's also UL 9540 listed with Sol-Ark inverters, which simplifies permitting and inspection in many US jurisdictions.
How many Pytes V16 batteries can I connect together?
You can connect up to 16 V16 batteries in parallel for 256kWh of storage. No separate hub is required; the included cascading cable links each unit.
Which inverters work with the Pytes V16?
It communicates with mainstream hybrid inverters over CAN and RS485, and it's UL 9540 listed with Sol-Ark. For other brands, confirm your inverter model against Pytes' compatibility list or contact Liniotech before ordering.
How long does the Pytes V16 last?
The V16 has an 8,000-cycle design life. At one cycle a day, that's more than 20 years of use. It also comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Can I mix the Pytes V16 with other batteries?
No. Parallel banks should use the same battery model so voltage and current share evenly and the BMS units communicate correctly. If you need to expand, add more V16 units.
