Description
The Discover 42-48-6650 AES Battery is an advanced lithium iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery that integrates into solar power systems quickly, and features advanced communication options for inverters that support closed-loop controls. At 7.39 kWh of storage capacity, you can do more with fewer units. The Discover AES batteries are an excellent choice for applications needing deep cycling on a daily basis as needed for off grid, self-consumption, peak load shaving, and other similar systems. If you want a top-of-the-line modular battery, this is it.
Discover® Advanced Energy System (AES) LiFePO4 Lithium solar batteries offer bankable performance and the lowest cost of energy storage per kWh. AES LiFePO4 Lithium batteries are manufactured with the highest-grade LiFePO4 cells and feature a proprietary high peak surge and transient voltage hardened BMS that delivers superior peak power, lightning-fast charge and discharge rates and LYNK Solar Gateway functionality for plug-and-play closed-loop integration with the worlds best known off-grid inverters and chargers turning a good system into a great one.
Maybe you’ve seen Lithium battery tear-downs on YouTube. This is where reviewers open the cases of so-called ‘bargain’ drop-in replacement batteries to see how they are built. Most name brands live up to their billing and price tag, showing superior cells, construction, BMS, and BMS integration. Cheap garbage batteries designed to take your money and evaporate soon afterwards are exposed.
Let’s take a look at the Discover tear-down so you can see what a truly well engineered battery looks like, and why they come with all the certifications and superior warranty…
LiFePO4 batteries use the commonly preferred lithium technology for stationary energy storage. It is thermally stable and has high cycle life compared to some other Li-ION technologies. Cycle life is showing over 4,200 cycles at full depth of discharge and counting.
AES batteries have a built in Battery Management System (BMS) that keeps the individual cells balanced and within the correct parameters for longest life. If operating parameters are exceeded for over 2 minutes the battery will be shut down. The BMS monitors cell module voltage; battery voltage; battery current; battery temperature; and battery state of charge. It also keeps a log of this data and can send out fault and warning events. There is an AEBus connection for communications between multiple batteries.

42-48-6650 Integration with Inverter Systems
The AES 42-48-6650 and 44-24-2800 have a Xanbus connection that communicates directly with a Schneider XW+ or SW inverter system. It reports to the Conext SCP or Combox as a battery monitor device. This battery can also be used with most other inverters like OutBack and Magnum and use the Conext SCP or Combox for monitoring, and the Conext AGS for generator control.
The AES 12-48-6650 and 14-24-2800 have Canbus communication instead of the Xanbus for communication to other device networks, or used as a lead acid drop in replacement. Both models also have a USB interface for detailed PC-based monitoring. There is an ON/OFF switch on the battery and an internal backup fuse.
