Collection: Floor-Mounted LiFePO4 Batteries

The Floor-mounted Lithium Battery series is SunWell's option for sites where wall load or wall structure is uncertain. Rather than hanging the pack on a wall, these standalone LiFePO4 units sit on the floor — from heavy metal cabinets for permanent installs to wheeled M-series portable units for temporary and mobile sites. They target garages, utility rooms, telecom shelters, off-grid workshops, and small commercial spaces that need flexible storage without structural wall mounting.

Selection Guide

Floor-mounted lithium batteries suit sites that need standalone energy storage without wall-load concerns. The range covers 24 models across the SunWell floor family, spanning roughly 5.12 kWh to 16.1 kWh at 51.2 V, all built around LiFePO4 cells. Start by calculating your daily evening or backup load in kWh and add a 20 % depth-of-discharge margin. For small residential backup, 5–10 kWh is usually enough; for off-grid workshops or small commercial sites, look at 15 kWh and above. Check the footprint and weight before you commit floor space: larger units can exceed 200 kg and 760 mm deep, while the portable M-series products weigh about 55–68 kg and include wheels for temporary sites. Cycle life across the range is rated at 6,000 to 8,000 cycles at 70 % SOH, so match the cycle rating to how often you plan to discharge each day. Communication is generally CAN/RS485/RS232, and many models add Bluetooth or WLAN as an option, which matters if you want remote monitoring. Finally, confirm the case type matches your environment: floor-standing/wall-mounted dual-use units are flexible, but pure mobile units trade rack-ability for portability.

Installation planning should also include service access and thermal management. Leave at least 150 mm of clearance on all sides so the BMS and any active cooling can work efficiently. Floor-mounted units work well in garages, utility rooms, telecom shelters, and small commercial storerooms where wall loads are uncertain. If the site is prone to dust or high humidity, choose a metal-cased cabinet and keep the unit off the floor on a pallet or stand. For mobile units used at events or construction sites, secure the wheels and route cables away from traffic. Always fuse the DC side close to the battery terminals and follow the supplier’s torque specifications for the power lugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right capacity for a floor-mounted lithium battery?

Add up the watt-hours you need during outages or overnight, then divide by 0.8 to keep the battery in a healthy discharge window. For example, a 5 kWh nightly load needs at least a 6.25 kWh battery. The 5.12 kWh to 10.24 kWh models suit most homes, while the 15.6 kWh to 16.1 kWh units fit shops, offices, or off-grid cabins.

Can I move a floor-mounted battery after installation?

It depends on the sub-series. The M-series portable mobile units are designed with wheels and handles for relocation, while larger floor-standing cabinets are meant to stay in place. Always check the net weight in the product spec; units over 100 kg usually require a pallet jack or forklift to move safely.

What communication options come with these batteries?

Most floor-mounted models ship with CAN, RS485, and RS232 for inverter/BMS integration, and several offer optional Bluetooth or WLAN for smartphone or cloud monitoring. If you need a specific protocol, verify the exact model before ordering because option availability varies.

Are floor-mounted batteries only for indoor use?

Most units in the library carry IP20, so they need a dry, ventilated indoor location. The metal-case design helps with heat dissipation, but direct rain, dust, or standing water will damage the electronics. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider the stacked or rack-mounted IP65 alternatives.

How long will the battery last under daily cycling?

The LiFePO4 cells are rated for 6,000 to 8,000 cycles at 70 % state of health. At one full cycle per day that works out to roughly 16–22 years of calendar life before noticeable capacity fade, although temperature and discharge depth will affect actual longevity.
