Freedom Won – Lite Commercial 100kWh, 200kWh, 300kWh – HV LifePO4 Battery

The Freedom Won LiTE Commercial HV battery series offers high-voltage, large-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) storage modules designed for commercial applications. Available in 100 kWh, 200 kWh and 300 kWh nominal capacities, the range is built to deliver reliable, long-life energy storage for heavy-duty use. With high round-trip efficiency (96-97 %) and robust safety and management systems, these units are suitable for businesses, institutions and off-grid / weak-grid sites. For the Tanzania market in particular, they offer a compelling solution to manage load-shedding, integrate solar PV and stabilise power supply for commercial operations.

Features & Benefits

• High-Voltage Architecture: The LiTE Commercial HV range runs at ~512 V nominal, which allows for high-power inverters to be matched effectively, reduces current for a given power output (thus smaller cabling) and enables integration with large commercial hybrid inverter systems. This is beneficial for medium/large scale commercial sites.
• LiFePO₄ Chemistry & Long Life: Using lithium iron phosphate cells gives a very stable chemistry, excellent cycle life, and improved safety compared to some other lithium chemistries. For example, the 100 kWh model spec sheet notes expected service life: >16 years (>5,500 cycles at 80% DoD), and over 20 years at 50% DoD. That means lower total cost of ownership over time.
• High Efficiency: With 96-97 % round-trip efficiency the battery ensures most of the energy put in is retrievable – important in settings where every kWh matters and when backup or time-shifted use is required.
• Robust Management & Safety Controls: The on-board Battery Management System (BMS) handles over-current, cell under-/over-voltage, temperature monitoring, weak cell detection, etc. The hardware includes a shunt trip circuit breaker tied to BMS for critical faults. The seal-welded aluminum casing, indoor design and IP20 rating emphasise a robust build for commercial premises.
• Scalable and Flexible Deployment: Because the units are modular and designed for high capacity, multiple units can be paralleled to meet larger site demands. The high nominal voltage also makes pairing with large inverters easier. This means the system can scale with future needs (e.g., business expansion, additional loads).
• Indoor Compact Design: Despite large capacity, the units have a manageable footprint (e.g., 100 kWh model: ~1.6m wide × ~1.4m high × ~0.365m deep) and weight (~800 kg) which supports indoor installation in plant rooms or mezzanines with proper structural support.

Use Cases & Value Propositions for Tanzania

In the Tanzanian market, the LiTE Commercial HV range presents significant value for various segments:

• Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Sites: Factories, office blocks, retail centres, hotels and resorts in Tanzania with solar PV or diesel backup can use these batteries to shift solar energy into evening hours, reduce diesel generator runtime, and stabilise power in areas with unreliable grid supply.
• Hospitality & Lodging: Hotels and lodges in Tanzania’s tourism hubs (coastal, Zanzibar, Northern circuit) can deploy these battery systems to ensure uninterrupted power for critical services (air-conditioning, kitchens, guest rooms) and reduce fuel generator costs.
• Microgrid & Off-grid Applications: In remote areas of Tanzania where grid access is limited or unreliable, the LiTE Commercial HV can serve as the backbone for solar-diesel hybrid systems, securing reliable power for communities, mining camps, or remote communications hubs.
• Load-Shedding Mitigation for Businesses: With frequent grid interruptions in some regions, businesses can install a system (solar + battery) that keeps operations running during outages, safeguarding productivity and customer service.
• Time-of-Use / Demand-Charge Management: For sites paying higher rates during peak hours (or subject to demand-charge regimes), storing energy during low-tariff off-peak hours (or solar generation) and deploying during high-tariff/demand periods becomes financially attractive.

Local Market Positioning – Tanzania

To position the LiTE Commercial HV range effectively in the Tanzanian market:

• Competitive Edge: Emphasise the long cycle life, high efficiency, and robust LiFePO₄ chemistry — as many competing systems in the region may offer shorter lifespan or less refined BMS controls. The warranty period (10 years standard) is a strong selling point for commercial buyers seeking long-term investment.
• Integration-Ready: Market the units as high-voltage, compatibility-ready solutions for hybrid inverter systems, which fits well with Tanzania’s growing interest in large-scale solar-plus-storage for commercial/institutional customers.
• Cost-Savings & ROI: Focus on savings from reduced diesel generator use, lower maintenance, less fuel consumption, increased uptime — all important in Tanzania where fuel costs are high and grid reliability is variable.
• Scalability for Growth: Highlight that as business grows, more units can be added in parallel, making the system future-proof, which appeals to businesses planning expansion or adding more loads (EV charging, refrigeration, etc.).
• Local Support & Service: Emphasise availability of local installation partners, service support, and the brand’s track record. Although the manufacturer is based in South Africa, for Tanzanian customers reassure about regional logistics, importation, and after-sales support.
