Hubble AM-5 5.12kWh LiFePO4 Lithium Battery
R27 600.00 incl. VAT
The Hubble AM-5 is South Africa’s most advanced home lithium battery — a 51.2V, 5.12kWh LiFePO4 unit built with prismatic cells for superior cycle life and thermal stability. Rated for unlimited cycles within its 10-year warranty, it outperforms cylindrical-cell alternatives in SA’s high-temperature environment.
100A continuous charge/discharge current supports fast charging from large solar arrays. Cloudlink Wi-Fi module enables real-time monitoring via the Hubble cloud portal. Stacks to 8 units (40.96kWh) per inverter. Compatible with Deye, Sunsynk, Victron (via BMS cable), Goodwe, and all major SA hybrid inverters.
Manufactured in South Africa with local warranty support — no overseas returns. Wall-mountable. Price excludes VAT and installation. In stock — ships within 2 business days.

What Is the Hubble AM-5 Battery?
The Hubble AM-5 is a 51.2V, 100Ah (5.12kWh) LiFePO4 lithium battery designed for South African residential solar systems. It’s the first Hubble model to use prismatic LFP cells — a manufacturing format that delivers more stable chemistry, better heat dissipation, and longer cycle life than the round cylindrical cells used in older designs.

Why LiFePO4 Prismatic Cells?
LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry is the safest lithium battery technology available — it cannot experience thermal runaway, unlike NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) batteries. Prismatic cells stack flat inside the casing, reducing internal resistance and allowing higher sustained discharge rates without overheating. In SA’s hot climate, this matters: the AM-5 operates safely at ambient temperatures up to 50°C.
Hubble Cloudlink Monitoring
The AM-5 includes the Hubble Cloudlink Wi-Fi module — clip it onto the battery and access real-time state of charge, charge/discharge history, cell voltages, and temperature via the Hubble cloud portal on any browser or mobile device. Alerts notify you of any cell imbalance or temperature anomaly before it becomes a problem.
South African Manufacturing & Warranty
Hubble Lithium is assembled in South Africa — giving it a significant advantage over imported batteries in warranty claim handling. Faulty units are assessed and replaced locally, with turnaround times measured in days rather than months. The 10-year unlimited-cycle warranty is honoured by the SA-based team.
FAQ
Q: How many Hubble AM-5 batteries can I connect to one inverter?
A: Up to 8 units in parallel (40.96kWh total) per inverter, depending on the inverter’s maximum battery current rating. Most 5kW inverters support 2–4 units comfortably.
Q: Is the AM-5 compatible with Deye and Sunsynk inverters?
A: Yes. The Hubble AM-5 communicates via CAN bus with Deye, Sunsynk, Goodwe, and most major SA hybrid inverters. A Victron-specific communication cable is available separately.

Added the Hubble AM-5 5.12kWh LiFePO4 Lithium Battery to expand our backup capacity and the difference is night and day. We now get through extended Stage 6 outages with power to spare. The battery management system keeps everything safe and the unit runs cool. Excellent product.
Mpho Khumalo –
The Hubble AM-5 5.12kWh LiFePO4 Lithium Battery is very well built and arrived well packaged from PowerVault. Installation was simple with the clear wiring diagram. We now have enough storage to run through the night on solar alone during summer. Battery has been rock solid.
