UL9540 CERTIFIED
LITHIUM BATTERIES
A GROWING MARKET AND
CONSTANTLY EVOLVING
Since 2015, lithium batteries have become very popular in the Canadian market.
Indeed, thanks to With their greatly improved energy density, almost zero maintenance, and space and weight savings, lithium batteries quickly established themselves as the solution of choice to replace acid batteries. The demand for Lithium LFP batteries exploded in the Canadian market in 2018, and has been growing steadily ever since.
In response to this rapid growth, new legislation has been put in place to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical installations in Canada. It is important for both the end user and the professional installer to ensure the quality of the selected batteries.
Allowing on the one hand to ensure the safety of electrical installations and on the other is to ensure the reliability and profitability of the installation in the long term.
VOLTHIUM, YOUR PARTNER
AS AN INNOVATIVE ENERGY SOLUTION
Volthium is renowned in Canada for its wide range of products with a 10-year warranty, and above all fully CSA certified, meeting the strict requirements engineering firms such as WSP, BPA, and many others.
At Volthium, The quality and reliability of our products has always been at the heart of our thoughts.
In our constant quest to improve our offer, we have recently decided to build close relationships with well-known players and essential in the inverter market.
So we set up partnerships with true industry pillars by becoming an official distributor of the Sol-Ark, LuxPowerTek and Victron brands. The establishment of these strategic partnerships allows Volthium to strengthen its position as a key player in the offer of complete solutions , and to continue to improve our impeccable service, which we hope will be irreproachable.
Indeed, our service is dear to us And we want to support both the end user and the professional installer as well as possible.
In addition, Volthium is now working with electrical distribution companies, such as Lumen and Westburne, to offer them automatic energy backup systems, based on the lithium.
This represents a reliable, efficient and quiet alternative outdoor generators, which are notorious but bulky, polluting and noisy.
NEW, MORE COMPACT FORMATS!
“A more compact format!”
This is the incessant demand that our teams have received in recent years.
It is with this idea in mind that we have designed our brand new 3U rackmount batteries.
We are very proud to announce that our new rackmount batteries are available in 24V 200Ah (5.12 kWh) and 51.2 V 100 Ah (10.24 kWh). These two products offer the best ratio of energy capacity to occupied space available in the North American market.
Although these 2 new models are assembled with LFP UL9540A, Grade A+ cells and available with self-heating technology, only the 51.2 V 100 Ah version is fully UL9540 certified, in accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code.
The 24V version, on the other hand, is also certified in its entirety, but this is an SPE-1000 certification, since the UL9540 certification is not common for 24V batteries.
Our brand new 51.2 V 100 Ah 3U rackmount battery is certified with Schneider, Sol-Ark, and LuxPowerTek inverters.
Integration with Victron systems are currently being prepared and will be finalized quickly!
INNOVATIVE FEATURES
In addition to its new ultra-compact size, our new battery for 48 V offers very interesting features for the user.
Indeed, there is a circuit breaker that complies with the CSA UL1077 standard, essential to ESA inspections for auxiliary protection against current overcurrent , but also many other advantages such as:
- M10 Battery Terminals Compatible with Volthium’s UL Certified Bus Bars or with AWG-4/0 cables
- More than 20 pre-loaded communication protocols
- Automatic update of battery ID addresses, up to 32 batteries per together, and 128 batteries when paired with the Volthium Smart Bridge
- Compatibility with wall-mount accessories, to create similar units at the PowerWall
- Compatibility with RSD emergency functionality
- Rack (cabinet) stand supports up to 6 units
51.2 V 100 Ah Battery – RACKMOUNT 3U
RACKMOUNT 3U – wall mount
RACKMOUNT 3U – 6 units in office
Copper Bar – 3U Rackmounts
COMPLIANCE WITH CANADIAN STANDARDS
The Canadian market today is full of new lithium batteries, but very few meet the new electrical requirements Canadian Electrical Code.
For example, we find batteries that do not have an auxiliary system against overcurrents (required by the UL1973 stationary energy storage standard) such as the Pytes V5 battery, or batteries that are equipped with 25 mm² Surlok terminals, which do not comply with the minimum gauge sizing code (AWG-2/0) such as Pylontech batteries.
There are also batteries on the market that are equipped with M6 terminals, which are incompatible with the such as the Signature Solar EG4 battery.
In addition, according to the complaints received, the manufacturers of the latter battery would have changed the internal cells for a more economical and lower-quality alternative. It is therefore very important for the user as well as for the professional installer to be extra vigilant and to ensure that the batteries they select are certified to ensure the safety and reliability of the installations.
CONCLUSION
Volthium is the only Canadian lithium battery company to offer products that fully comply with the requirements of the electrical code, ensuring its success with prestigious customers such as Hydro-Québec, the RCMP, and the Canadian Armed Forces
It is through our commitment to quality and compliance that we continue to innovate to offer innovative energy solutions to enhance our position as the leader in the lithium battery market.
