The RUiXU Lithi2-20 Lithium Battery System Stores 20kWh in One IP55 Cabinet You Can Install Indoors or Outdoors
The RUiXU Lithi2-20 is a 51.2V, 392Ah lithium iron phosphate battery that stores 20kWh in a single floor-standing cabinet. It is the larger sibling of the RUiXU Lithi2-16, with about 25% more energy in one unit, and RUiXU builds it with new Grade A cells.
It is made for homeowners and light commercial users who pair a 48V battery with a hybrid or off-grid inverter for backup power, solar storage or off-grid living. An IP55 enclosure, built-in self-heating, Bluetooth app monitoring and an internal aerosol fire suppression module come standard.
RUiXU Lithi2-20 Lithium Battery System Features
20kWh in One Cabinet
One Lithi2-20 holds 20kWh at 51.2V. Fewer units mean fewer cables, fewer connections and less floor space than a bank of smaller modules.
IP55 Enclosure for Indoor or Outdoor Installation
RUiXU rates the enclosure IP55 for protection against dust and water jets and designs the Lithi2-20 for indoor and outdoor installation. That gives you more choices for placement, such as a garage or a sheltered spot outside the house.
Self-Heating for Cold Weather Charging
The built-in heater turns on during charging when the battery is at 41°F (5°C) or below, so the cells can accept a charge in cold weather. RUiXU's data sheet lists a charge and discharge range of -22°F to 140°F (-30°C to 60°C).
Aerosol Fire Suppression and Two-Pole Protection
An aerosol fire suppression module inside the pack adds protection for the wiring and cells. The battery management system watches every cell, a miniature circuit breaker protects the positive terminal, and RUiXU adds a fuse on the negative terminal.
Quick-Connect Terminals and Bluetooth Updates
Tool-free quick-connect terminals are rated for 200A continuous current. The RUiXU app connects over Bluetooth to show battery information and install over-the-air firmware updates, and CAN and RS485 ports handle communication with compatible inverters.
Expandable to 640kWh
RUiXU supports up to 32 Lithi2-20 batteries in parallel, from 20kWh up to 640kWh, for larger homes and light commercial sites. Passive cell balancing at 150mA helps keep the cells evenly matched after charging.
9,500-Cycle Rating and 10-Year Warranty
RUiXU rates the Lithi2-20 for 9,500 or more cycles at 80% depth of discharge with a 15-year design life, and the battery carries a 10-year warranty from RUiXU.
Real-World Applications
Whole-Home and Critical-Load Backup. Paired with a compatible hybrid inverter, the Lithi2-20 keeps lights, the refrigerator, internet and other important circuits running through a grid outage.
Solar Self-Consumption. Store daytime solar production for the evening, or charge when utility rates are low and use stored energy when rates are high.
Off-Grid Homes and Cabins. With an off-grid inverter and solar array, one or more Lithi2-20 batteries become the main energy store for a property with no utility service.
Light Commercial Storage. RUiXU designed the Lithi2-20 for light commercial use too, and its parallel capacity lets a shop, farm or office grow storage as needs change.
Practical Comparison
Lithi2-20 Versus Lithi2-16
Both are 51.2V lithium iron phosphate battery systems from RUiXU. The Lithi2-20 stores 20kWh (392Ah) against the Lithi2-16's 16kWh (314Ah), so a 40kWh system takes two Lithi2-20 batteries instead of three Lithi2-16 units.
One Large Battery Versus Rack Modules
A rack bank built from 5kWh or 6kWh modules lets you add capacity in small steps, but it needs a rack or cabinet and more cabling. The Lithi2-20 puts 20kWh in one floor-standing enclosure, which keeps the installation simpler.
Lithium Battery Versus a Lead-Acid Bank
A lead-acid bank needs venting and regular care, loses capacity when it is discharged deeply and wears out after far fewer cycles. A LiFePO4 battery like the Lithi2-20 needs no watering, communicates with the inverter and keeps a steady voltage through most of its charge.
Buyer Guidance
Sizing Your System
Add up the kilowatt-hours your loads use over the outage or overnight period you want to cover, then divide by 20kWh to estimate how many batteries you need. Check that your inverter supports a 48V lithium battery with CAN or RS485 communication and that its battery current suits your bank.
Installation and Placement
The Lithi2-20 weighs 330.69 lb (150 kg) and stands 35.98 inches tall with wheels, so plan its route and final spot before delivery. A qualified installer should handle the wiring and commissioning, and any connection to your home's electrical panel should be done by a licensed electrician under local codes and permits.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want 20kWh of storage in one battery instead of several modules
- Your battery needs to go outdoors or in an unheated space
- You plan to add more batteries as your needs grow
- You use a hybrid or off-grid inverter with a 48V lithium battery bank
Common Questions
Can the Lithi2-20 Be Installed Outdoors?
Yes. RUiXU rates the enclosure IP55 and designs the Lithi2-20 for indoor and outdoor installation. Follow the installation clearances and local code requirements for your site.
How Many Batteries Can I Connect?
RUiXU supports up to 32 Lithi2-20 batteries in parallel, for up to 640kWh of storage.
Which Safety Certifications Does It Have?
RUiXU's data sheet lists CE, CEC, SGIP, IEC 62619, IEC 61000 and UN 38.3, and lists UL 1973, UL 9540A and UL 9540 as pending. Check with your local authority if your installation requires a specific listing.
What Warranty Does the Lithi2-20 Have?
RUiXU backs the Lithi2-20 with a 10-year warranty.
