What 18.23 kWh of battery storage can actually run
18.23 kWh is 356 Ah at 51.2 V, and the GP-SR1-18K discharges to 100% depth of discharge, so almost all of that energy is usable. One module covers a day of solar self-consumption or several nights of backup for essential loads — and 8.7 kW of continuous output lets it supply them all at once.
- Overnight backupA fridge draws about 1–1.5 kWh a day; with lighting, router, TV and boiler controls an average night is around 3 kWh — one module covers several nights without recharging.
- Daily solar self-consumptionA typical European household uses 8–15 kWh a day. One 18.23 kWh module stores that day’s surplus PV and gives it back after sunset.
- Peak loads up to 8.7 kWHeat-pump start-up, a well pump, an induction hob or a 48V inverter retrofit all stay inside the module’s 170 A / 8.7 kW continuous rating.
- Scaling upTwo modules reach about 36.5 kWh, three about 54.7 kWh, four about 72.9 kWh — up to 16 units in parallel with the JK BMS, or 63 with the PC BMS.
Real backup time depends on your load profile and inverter settings. Compare options in our home solar battery guide, or check your inverter in the 48V hybrid inverter database.
GP-SR1-18K: questions, answered
How much energy does the GP-SR1-18K store?
18.23 kWh total energy, from 16 series prismatic LiFePO4 cells at 356 Ah and 51.2 V nominal. It is rated for 100% depth of discharge, so nearly the whole figure is usable, and it delivers up to 8.7 kW continuously.
Is the GP-SR1-18K a 48V battery?
Yes. It is a 51.2 V nominal battery (16 LiFePO4 cells in series) with an operating range of 44.8 – 57.6 V, which is the 48V class used by hybrid inverters, all-in-one ESS units and 48V off-grid systems.
How many GP-SR1-18K units can I connect in parallel?
Up to 16 units with the JK BMS, or up to 63 units with the PC BMS — roughly 292 kWh with 16 modules and over 1 MWh with 63. Units communicate over RS485/CAN so the bank behaves as one battery. Series connection is not supported.
Which inverters are compatible with the GP-SR1-18K?
Closed-loop RS485/CAN communication is available for more than 20 inverter brands, including Deye, GoodWe, Growatt, SMA, Victron, Solis, Schneider and Luxpower. Check the exact model in our inverter database before ordering.
Where can the GP-SR1-18K be installed?
Indoors, in a 19-inch 6U rack, stacked up to three high, or on the floor with casters. It is rated IP21 for indoor use and works from −25 to +55 °C on discharge and 0 to +55 °C on charge, at altitudes up to 3,000 m.
How do I monitor the GP-SR1-18K?
RS485A/CAN, RS485B/RS485C and RS232 are standard, and an optional WiFi module adds app and remote monitoring. Voltage, current, state of charge and cell balance are all readable from the BMS, and the battery works with Home Assistant and ioBroker.
What certifications and warranty does the GP-SR1-18K have?
IEC 62619, CE and UN 38.3 for cell and pack safety, transport and the European market, plus a 5–10 year warranty depending on the configuration ordered.
How long will the GP-SR1-18K last?
At least 8,000 cycles at 25 ± 2 °C to 70% end of life, which is roughly 20 years of one full cycle a day. Prismatic LiFePO4 cells and active cell balancing keep the pack balanced for the whole service life.
