01 / Purposeful by design

Engineered for the everyday.
Prepared for what’s next.

A durable steel enclosure. Fan-free cooling. Intelligent battery management. Every detail serves a practical purpose.

01 — CHEMISTRY

A solid foundation.

C4V V-Series LiFePO₄ cells, rated for 8,000+ cycles at the cell level. At least 16.0 kWh usable energy at 25 °C.1

02 — ENCLOSURE

At home, inside or out.

1.5 mm galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish. Designed and production-verified to IP65; independent testing pending.2

03 — COOLING

Fewer moving parts.

Natural convection manages cooling without fans. A simple, passive approach to thermal management.

04 — PROTECTION

Cold-weather awareness.

An integral heater supports temperature management. The BMS inhibits charging below 0 °C.

05 — INTEGRATION

Ready for connection.

CAN, RS-485 and RS-232 interfaces for inverter communication. Requires a separately listed UL 1741 SB inverter.3

06 — INSTALLATION

A place in your plan.

Wall or floor mounting, a slim 218 mm depth, and adjustable feet. A stacked junction box houses the DC disconnect and key switch.

02 / Room to grow

Start with one.
Think beyond it.

Connect up to 32 SENTINEL units on a single DC bus. Bidirectional DC-DC balancing supports parallel operation as storage capacity grows.

Combined nominal energy

Illustrative capacity = unit count × 16.08 kWh. Usable system energy, available power and installation requirements depend on the final system design and inverter selection.

Product development status

Draft specifications, pending factory finalization. UL 1973, UL 9540A, UL 9540 and UN 38.3 testing/certification are in progress. The product is not yet listed and holds no conformity mark as of the supplied datasheet. Warranty and environmental figures are provisional; confirm against governing specification C4V-UBE-SPC-001, Rev B.

1. Cell-level cycle figure: 1C charge / 1C discharge to 70% retention at room temperature. This is not a system-level cycle-life guarantee.

2. Third-party IEC 60529 testing is pending. Production units may vary from the rendering.

3. DC battery only. No inverter is included and the battery performs no grid-interconnection function. System design must account for applicable installation requirements, including NFPA 855 and NEC 690.12.

4. Peak discharge events are limited to no more than once per five minutes. Dimensions include the top cover and gasket. All specifications are subject to change.
