5.12 kWh LiFePO₄ Rack Battery Module (IP20)

The Deye BOS-GM5.1 is a 5.12 kWh LiFePO₄ battery module designed to slot into a high-voltage rack system for bigger homes and small commercial sites. Each module is 51.2 V, 100 Ah, uses safe LFP chemistry, is designed for indoor rack mounting (IP20) and has a cycle life of 6000+ cycles at 90% DoD with a 10-year warranty when sold by Australian suppliers. 

BSC Renewables can combine several BOS-GM5.1 modules with the right Deye high-voltage gear to build a tidy battery bank tailored to your site.

What Is the BOS-GM5.1?

The BOS-GM5.1 is a rack-mount battery “building block”:

  • Around 5.12 kWh of storage in each module

  • 51.2 V nominal, 100 Ah LiFePO₄ battery

  • Designed to sit in a 19″ rack or cabinet in a plant room, comms room or similar indoor space

  • Used in series strings (3–12 modules) with a Deye high-voltage box to create a full battery system from roughly 15.36 kWh up to about 61.44 kWh for homes and small commercial sites

On its own it’s just one module; in a rack it becomes part of a serious, expandable battery bank.

Key Benefits for BSC Renewables Clients

1. Scalable Storage for Bigger Loads

  1. Australian and international listings show the BOS-G series is designed so 3–12 BOS-GM5.1 modules can be connected in series, giving system capacities from about 15.36 kWh up to 61.44 kWh with high-voltage operation. 

    What that means for you:

    • Start with three modules if you just want a solid home system

       

    • Step up to eight, ten or twelve modules for larger homes, shops or offices

       

    • Expand over time as more loads appear – EV chargers, extra air-con, fridges, machinery, etc.

       

    You’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all battery – the rack can be built to match your actual demand.

2. More Use of Your Own Solar, Less Bought From the Grid

With a high-voltage rack full of BOS-GM5.1 modules:

  • Daytime surplus solar charges the battery bank

  • You can run evening and overnight loads from stored solar instead of buying as much from the grid

  • On cloudy days, the extra capacity helps smooth things out so you’re not bouncing back to full grid use immediately

Paired with the right Deye hybrid inverter, this is especially useful for busy homes, rural properties and small commercial sites where the evening and weekend loads are heavy. 

 

3. Long Life, Safe LiFePO₄ Chemistry

The model comes with: 

  • LiFePO₄ (LFP) cells – cobalt-free, stable chemistry

  • ≥ 6000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge under test conditions

  • Low self-discharge and no memory effect

In everyday terms:

  • The chemistry has an excellent safety record in home and commercial battery systems

  • It’s designed to be charged and discharged every day for many years

  • With a 10-year warranty from Australian suppliers, it’s clearly intended as a long-term part of your energy setup

4. Intelligent BMS and Inverter-Friendly Comms

The BOS-GM5.1 includes an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) and supports CAN 2.0 and RS485 communication, as shown in Deye’s BOS-G documentation and international listings. 

Benefits for you:

  • The battery modules talk to the Deye high-voltage box and inverter, so charge, discharge and protection are all coordinated

  • The BMS provides over-charge, over-discharge, over-current and temperature protection, and balances cells for longer life

  • System status can be monitored via the inverter platform, not just at the rack

That means a BOS-GM rack doesn’t just hold energy – it’s actively managed for safety and performance.

 

5. Tidy Indoor Rack Install (IP20)

Deye’s BOS-G datasheet describes the BOS-GM5.1 as a 19″ embedded rack module, IP20 rated, with a compact footprint (~440 × 570 × 133 mm). 

What you’ll notice:

  • The modules slide into a rack or cabinet, giving a clean “server-rack” style look

  • It’s meant for indoor use – plant rooms, electrical rooms, comms rooms and similar

  • Everything stays in one tidy spot instead of multiple batteries around the building

BSC Renewables will locate the rack where it’s accessible, compliant and out of general traffic.

How BSC Renewables Can Use BOS-GM5.1 in Your Project

When BSC Renewables builds a system around BOS-GM5.1 modules, they typically:

  1. Assess your needs

    • Review bills, demand patterns and future plans

    • Decide whether a high-voltage rack is the right approach versus wall batteries

    • Recommend a sensible series string – e.g. 8 or 10 modules for a big home or small commercial site

  2. Design the full HV battery + inverter system

    • Pair BOS-GM5.1 modules with the correct Deye HV box and hybrid inverter

    • Ensure rack location, protection devices and cabling all follow Deye’s and Australian standards

    • Plan for future expansion so more modules can be added without re-doing everything

  3. Install, commission and test properly

    • Mount the rack, install modules, connect to the HV box and inverter

    • Confirm BMS comms, charge/discharge limits and safety settings

    • Test under load so you can see the bank working as intended

  4. Support you over the long term

    • Set up monitoring so you can track solar, battery state and grid import/export

    • Help tweak settings as your tariff or load profile changes

Make it straightforward to expand the rack if you need more storage down the track
