2 * HOPE 16.0LM-A1
$5,899.00 USD
From Everyday Power to Off-Grid Freedom
16kWh in one cabinet, 768kWh if you need it, and about $187 for every one of them. The HOPE 16.0LM-A1 is the battery you buy when the grid is not coming — a cabin at the end of a dirt road, a shop with a utility quote full of zeros, a well pump on the back forty, a build site that needs lights and a compressor. It stores 15.3 kWh you can actually use, swallows 7.7 kW of charge, and pushes 10.2 kW back out, which is enough to run a 10 kW off-grid inverter flat out without the pack becoming the weak link.
312 Ah
16 kWh is 312 Ah at 51.2 V, which is the number your inverter manual and your old lead-acid bank were both talking about. If you are replacing eight 6V golf-cart batteries or four 12V 100Ah AGMs, one HOPE is more usable energy than the whole rack was new, in a single cabinet that does not need watering, equalizing, or a ventilated box.
What 15.3 kWh Is Actually Worth
7.7 kW In, 10.2 kW Out
At 51.2V nominal, 150A of charging is roughly 7.7kW, which takes an empty cabinet from flat to full in a little over two hours of decent sun. Two hundred amps in the other direction is 10.2 kW continuous, enough to carry a 10kW inverter at full load with the battery nowhere near its ceiling. The 700A peak is held for 200ms, and that number exists for one reason: the instant a well pump or an air compressor slams on and asks for several times its running current.
One Is a Weekend. Forty-Eight Is a Microgrid.
Each cabinet adds 15.3 kWh usable, and 48 of them is 768 kWh — a cluster of cabins, a cold room, a farm that wants a week of autonomy instead of a night. Parallel units need to be the same model on the same firmware, so decide your ceiling before you buy the first one, not after the third arrives.
Built-in Wheels
At 120 kg (265 lb) this is a floor-standing cabinet, not a wall-hung one. The built-in casters let one person roll it into position on a level floor,
Simple Connections
Designed with user-friendly wiring connections for straightforward installation and seamless Home Battery Storage integration.
Built Around the Inverter You Already Own
Closed-loop CAN is documented for three of ours: the SPH series, the SPE series and the SPF 3500TL LVM-US. Other 48V inverters will run the pack in voltage mode, without closed-loop BMS data — it works, but you give up per-cell telemetry and some of the protection handshaking, so confirm the pairing with us before you order rather than after. One useful shortcut: a single HOPE's 200A covers the full battery current of an SPH 10000TL-HU at rated output, so one cabinet per inverter is the honest starting point.
Your Battery Bank, On Your Phone
State of charge, charge and discharge power, and the complete fault history live in the ShinePhone app, and firmware updates go out over the air. That last part matters more than it sounds when the cabinet is in a shed two hours from the house and the alternative is a drive with a laptop.
Recommended for Use with Growatt Inverters
Install indoors, in a dry and protected location. The HOPE is IP20 rated and floor-standing at 120 kg (265 lb) — plan for two people, a pallet jack, and about 2 ft of clearance on the wiring side. Charging is rated 0–60°C, so an unheated space will stop accepting charge in freezing weather even though the pack can still discharge.
FAQs
How much usable energy does the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 provide?
The Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 offers 16kWh of nominal capacity and 15.3kWh of usable energy. This battery gives you 15.3 kWh of usable storage — enough for a well pump, a fridge, lights and a router through the night, with margin left for a cloudy day.
Is the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 a 48V battery?
Yes. Nominal voltage is 51.2V with an operating window of 40–58.4V, which is what the industry calls a 48V battery, and what any inverter rated for a 48V lithium bank will see.
Which inverters are compatible with the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1?
The HOPE 16.0LM-A1 supports CAN and RS485 communication for integration with compatible inverters. Compatibility depends on the inverter model, communication protocol, and firmware. Please check the official compatibility list or contact our team before purchasing.
Can I connect multiple HOPE 16.0LM-A1 batteries together?
Yes. Up to 48 battery units can be connected in parallel in supported configurations. Starting with 16kWh, you can expand your Home Battery Storage system to a maximum nominal capacity of 768kWh as your energy needs grow.
What are the maximum charging and discharging currents?
The HOPE 16.0LM-A1 supports a maximum charging current of 150A and a maximum discharging current of 200A. These high-current capabilities help deliver stored energy efficiently to compatible inverter systems and household loads.
Is the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 safe for home use?
Yes. This battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cell chemistry, known for its thermal stability and cycle durability. Its built-in Battery Management System (BMS) monitors battery operation and helps manage charging, discharging, and battery protection.
Can this battery provide backup power during a power outage?
Yes. When paired with a compatible inverter that supports backup or off-grid operation, the HOPE 16.0LM-A1 can supply stored energy to connected household loads during a grid outage. Backup performance depends on your inverter, system configuration, available battery energy, and connected loads.
Can I use the HOPE 16.0LM-A1 for off-grid solar systems?
Yes. It can be used in compatible off-grid solar energy systems. Paired with a suitable off-grid inverter and solar panels, it stores solar energy for use when sunlight is unavailable. Check inverter compatibility before installation.
Where can I install the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1?
The HOPE 16.0LM-A1 features a floor-standing design with built-in wheels for easier positioning. It has an IP20 protection rating and is intended for suitable indoor installation. Choose a dry, protected location and follow the installation manual's clearance and temperature requirements.
How long does the Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 last?
The cells are rated for 6,000 cycles at 0.5C and 80% depth of discharge at 25°C, which is roughly sixteen years of daily cycling. Warranty is 5 years standard, with a 10-year option.
Can I charge it below freezing?
No. Charging is rated from 0°C to 60°C, so an unheated space in a cold climate will leave the bank unable to refill during winter. Discharging is rated down to −20°C, so it can still carry loads.
HOPE or ALP — which one do I need?
If the project has to pass an inspection, connect to the grid, or mount outdoors, take the ALP: UL 1973 and UL 9540A listed, IP66, ten-year warranty. If the power never touches a meter, take the HOPE: 15.3 kWh usable per cabinet at about $187 per kWh, roughly 40% less per kWh, and it scales to 768 kWh.
How many cabinets do I need?
Size from nightly consumption, not peak load. 15.3 kWh covers a fridge, lights, internet and a small mini-split overnight; a 29 kWh/day whole-home load needs two cabinets for a day of autonomy. For inverter pairing, one cabinet per SPH 10000TL-HU or SPE 6000 US is the natural start, because 200A of discharge covers either inverter's full battery current.
Will it work with a non-Growatt inverter?
Closed-loop CAN is documented for Growatt's 48V inverters. Third-party 48V inverters generally run the pack in voltage mode without closed-loop BMS data — it works, but you lose per-cell telemetry and part of the protection handshaking. Confirm the pairing with us before ordering.
