VSL PowerHive launches LFP batteries for residential, small commercial applications

VSL PowerHive, the battery and energy storage arm of Vikram Solar, has expanded its VION portfolio with the launch of 10 kWh and 15 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems for residential and small commercial applications.

The systems can be charged from the grid to provide backup power and can also be paired with rooftop solar installations to store excess generation for later use, reducing grid dependence.

The 10 kWh battery, rated at 51.2 V and 206 Ah, has a nominal energy capacity of 10.58 kWh. It supports a standard charging current of 80 A and a standard discharge current of 100 A, with peak charging and discharging currents of 120 A and 160 A, respectively, for up to five minutes. The battery measures 396 mm × 250 mm × 590 mm and weighs 80 kg.

The 15 kWh battery, rated at 51.2 V and 314 Ah, has a nominal energy capacity of 16.14 kWh. It supports a standard charging current of 120 A and a standard discharge current of 150 A, with peak charging and discharging currents of 180 A and 240 A, respectively, for up to five minutes. The battery measures 396 mm × 250 mm × 734 mm and weighs 114 kg.

Both the systems feature an intelligent smart battery management system (BMS) that continuously monitors and optimizes performance for enhanced safety, reliability, and efficiency. The systems are designed for higher-load applications, require zero maintenance, and are built for Indian conditions, according to the company

Each system is backed by a comprehensive 60-month warranty.

“The launch of our 10 kWh and 15 kWh VION energy storage systems marks an important milestone in our mission to build a comprehensive and future-ready energy storage ecosystem for India’s evolving energy landscape,” said Arun Mittal, CEO, VSL PowerHive. “Engineered for superior storage, these new VION systems combine advanced LFP technology, intelligent battery management, and high-load performance to deliver dependable, sustainable power whenever it is needed.”
