48V UL Certified Batteries

The batteries below are certified to UL1973 and UL9540 standard. This is not an easy task! The biggest benefit of this listing is consistency of quality over time. Non-certified batteries can change cells and hardware whenever they please, but not these batteries. Whether you buy these batteries today or in five years, they will have consistent quality standards and third party audits. If you want something you can rely on, you have come to the right place!

Ecoworthy Cubix 100

Rarely do you see a battery performing better than the competition and being cheaper! This battery blows me away. Not only is it the lowest priced one, but the cells test higher than anything else I have ever tested! And this battery has UL1973 and UL9540! So you can legally install this anywhere.

Check out these capacity test results. This battery has the best performance I have seen in a battery. This test was done at 100A charge and 100A discharge

Ecoworthy Cubix 100

Ideal for smaller systems or expanding an existing battery bank.

4X Batteries

More storage for whole-home backup and larger off-grid systems.

6X Batteries

Maximum storage for high-demand homes and extended backup.

Ruixu Lithi 16

Powerful 16kWh battery designed for whole-home energy independence.

Ruixu Lithi 16

This battery has the best quality around! And it is waterproof, UL listed (for permitted systems with hybrid inverters) and has an easy to replace BMS.

The product pictures do not do it justice at all. This thing looks great in person.

The communication setup beats every battery I have tested so far. If you can afford it, this is a great option!

What Makes the Ruixu Lithi2-16 
Stand Out

High-capacity LiFePO4 storage with built-in safety systems, broad inverter compatibility, and a design made for demanding residential installations.

Designed for 
Real-World Energy Systems

High-capacity LiFePO4 storage with built-in safety systems, broad inverter compatibility, and a design made for demanding residential installations.

Outdoor-ready enclosure

The electro-coated metal enclosure helps protect the battery against moisture, corrosion, and demanding installation environments.

Built-in mobility

Four concealed heavy-duty wheels make the 302-pound battery easier to position, while an anti-tip bracket secures it to the wall.

Serviceable design

A dedicated inspection port provides convenient access to the BMS and internal fuse for maintenance or replacement.

Expandable storage

Connect up to 32 batteries in parallel to increase capacity as household or commercial energy requirements grow.

Flexible inverter compatibility

CAN and RS485 communication support integration with a wide range of popular hybrid and off-grid inverter brands.

PowerPro Battery by EG4

PowerPro batteries are a fantastic choice and can be installed in any state. They do cost a bit more than the competition, but they are backed by an American company.

Indoor Rated PowerPro

High-capacity energy storage built for protected indoor installations.

Outdoor Rated PowerPro

Weather-ready energy storage built for reliable outdoor installations.
