Features of the Pylontech US5000 Pack 4 - 19.2kWh

The US5000 and its modular format provides superior scalability compared to other batteries on the market. Pylontech battery modules of different models can be connected, a feature not offered by all brands of lithium batteries.

The Pylontech US5000 48V 19.2kWh lithium battery can be connected in parallel up to a maximum of 80 units. A maximum of 16 US5000 battery modules can be connected, to connect more, a Pylontech Hub port is required. With the Hub up to 80 modules of the 4.8kWh Pylontech US5000 48V lithium battery can be connected; up to 5 groups of 16 battery modules each can be connected.

This Pylontech lithium battery incorporates multiple communication protocols that allow it to share charging parameters and function properly.

Pylontech US5000 48V 19.2kWh lithium batteries are maintenance free. They are sealed modules and are intended for indoor installation. They should not be installed in places where temperature and humidity are very extreme.

These LiFePO4 Us5000 batteries have a built-in internal BMS, which distributes the energy between the cells and prevents them from overcharging or over-discharging.

Installation and assembly of the US5000

It is mandatory that whenever two or more modules of the Pylontech US5000 are installed in a rack or on brackets, to ensure proper ventilation and stability of the batteries.

First of all, cut off the mains supply and check that the battery is in off mode. Be careful with polarity, do not confuse the positive and negative cables.

The 4.8kWh Pylontech US5000 48V Pack 4 - 19.2kWh lithium batteries can only be connected in parallel, they do not allow series connection because the integrated BMS is for the battery voltage, which in the case of the US5000 battery is 48V. The US5000 lithium battery must be grounded and the resistance must be less than 0.1Ω.

This picture shows the front connections of the US5000:

The Us5000 Pylontech has a modular 19′ rack format. These are its dimensions:

Power terminals

The battery has two pairs of terminals with the same function, one for connecting the battery or the lithium battery bank to the installation and the other for connecting the Pylontech modules to each other.

Two 21 cm power cables, a 21 cm RJ45 communication cable and a 1 m long 6AWG earth cable are included with the battery. The power cables are fitted with self-locking connectors, so the plug can be removed by pressing and holding the locking button. The picture below shows the cables that are included with the US5000 Pylontech battery.

Things to consider before installation of US5000

• The installation site should be dust and dirt free and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The floor of the installation site must be flat and level.
• The ambient temperature should be 0°C - 50°C.
• Temperature and humidity must be constant.
• The battery must be placed more than 50 cm away from the air outlet of the inverter.
• It is recommended not to install in a confined area.
• If the US5000 battery detects that the temperature is not in the proper range it will shut down to prevent damage.

4.8kWh Pylontech US5000 battery mount

Can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Cannot be installed sideways or with the front connections upside down. Modules cannot be stacked on top of each other, they must be placed with brackets (maximum 3 modules) or in a rack. The following pictures show the installation of the US5000 with brackets.

The following picture shows the mounting of the US5000 lithium battery in a rack.

Parallel connection with other Pylontech models 

The Pylontech US5000 battery allows parallel connection with other Pylontech lithium batteries. This priority must be taken into account:

US5000 > UP5000/US3000C/US2000C > U3000/US200.

Compatibility of the US5000 with Victron

The perfect companion for the Pylontech US5000 battery is the Inverter Charger 48V Victron MultiPlus II 48/5000 VA 48V 70+50A - PMP482505010. To connect it to the battery, you need the Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus cable for BMS type A 5m - ASS030710050.

The combination of Pylontech and Victron can be used for the following systems:

• Network backup (DVCC or ESS)
• Off-grid (DVCC)
• Energy Storage Systems (ESS) - Self-consumption

A GX device must be installed: The BMS included in the US5000 battery communicates with the GX device. The minimum recommended firmware version for the GX device is v2.42.

All investors Multi, Multiplus, MultiGrid and Quattro are supported. All VE.Bus inverters and inverter/chargers are compatible, provided that you use the appropriate model for the battery. They must be connected to the GX device via the VE.Bus connection port.

All the MPPT VE. Direct BlueSolar and SmartSolar are compatible. They must be connected to the GX device. If you want to use a VE.Can MPPT (2019 and later) the GX device must have more than one VE.Can port, as this is the port used for the connection to the battery.

Connections

• To connect the Pylontech US5000 battery to the inverter a Victron cable from VE.Can to CAN-bus for BMS type A is required.
• Several battery modules can be connected to form a single large battery by connecting the RJ45 cable supplied by Pylontech via the battery link ports.
  • The batteries are automatically detected and linked together, no DIP switches on the battery module need to be set.
    • The DIP switches must be set to 000 or the GX device will not detect the batteries.
  • The battery with the empty link port 0 is the master or main battery.
• Connect the communication cable with the side labelled BMS Battery to the Pylontech CAN port of the main battery.
• If the GX device has only one VE.Can port, the VE.Can port profile must be changed to CAN-bus BMS (500 kbit/s) for the battery.
  • Connect the Victron VE.Can labelled side to the GX device.
  • Connect a VE.Can terminator to the other VE.Can connector of the GX device.
  • If not connected correctly, the battery will not appear on the GX device and will automatically shut down.

GX device configuration

If the GX device is version v2.80 or later, the DVCC settings will be set and applied automatically. In case it has to be done manually, these are the values to be configured.
