The Sako 25.6V 200Ah (5.12kWh) Lithium Battery is a high-density energy storage solution specifically designed for 24V solar systems. By utilizing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery provides a more reliable and longer-lasting alternative to traditional deep-cycle lead-acid batteries.
At Kara Nigeria, the Sako 25.6V 200Ah Lithium Battery is currently priced at ₦1,247,800.00.
Importance of Solar Energy in Nigeria
In a landscape of rising fuel prices and grid instability, solar energy offers Nigerian homeowners financial predictability. A system equipped with a Sako lithium battery ensures that your essential appliances—like refrigerators, fans, and security lights—remain powered through the night without the noise or ongoing cost of a petrol generator.
Advantages of Lithium Batteries Over Traditional Batteries
- Superior Lifespan: While 24V tubular banks typically last 2–4 years, the Sako Lithium battery offers over 6,000 cycles, translating to a 10–15 year lifespan.
- Higher Usable Capacity: You can safely discharge this battery up to 90% (DoD), whereas lead-acid batteries should not be drained past 50% to avoid permanent damage.
- Fast Charging: The LiFePO4 chemistry allows for much higher charge currents, meaning your battery reaches 100% much faster during sunny hours.
- Compact Design: One Sako 25.6V 200Ah unit replaces four heavy 12V 200Ah lead-acid batteries, significantly reducing the system footprint.
Key Features of the Sako 25.6V 200Ah Battery
- Smart BMS: The integrated Battery Management System protects against over-voltage, short circuits, and high-temperature environments.
- LCD Display: Features an easy-to-read screen showing State of Charge (SoC), voltage, and real-time health status.
- 24V Native Voltage: Optimized for 24V inverters, eliminating the need for complex series/parallel wiring of multiple 12V batteries.
- Safety: LiFePO4 is the safest lithium chemistry available, offering high thermal stability and no risk of acid leaks or gas emissions.
Top Lithium Battery Brands in Nigeria
If you are comparing options, Kara Nigeria stocks several leading brands that cater to different system voltages:
- Sako Solar: Known for reliable 24V and 48V LiFePO4 modules.
- SMK Solar: Offers competitive 5.12kWh and 10.24kWh storage options.
- Felicity Solar: A market leader in wall-mounted "Powerwall" designs.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Inverter Compatibility: Ensure your 24V inverter supports lithium charging profiles. Incorrect settings can lead to the BMS cutting off power to protect the cells.
- Cabling: Use the recommended heavy-duty DC cables to prevent energy loss and terminal heating during high-load periods.
- Environmental Care: While maintenance-free, keeping the battery in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight will maximize its decade-long life.
Conclusion: A Smart Investment for 24V Systems
For users currently running a 2.5kVA or 3kVA 24V system, the Sako 25.6V 200Ah Lithium Battery is a transformative upgrade. It provides the capacity of a large lead-acid bank in a single, maintenance-free unit that will last for over a decade
