285 kWh Bus And Heavy Truck Power Lithium Battery
285.69 kWh, 614.4 V traction battery for electric buses and heavy trucks.
Bus Energy Power Battery
A 285.69 kWh pack built on 3.2 V 15 Ah cylindrical LiFePO4 cells, rated 614.4 VDC and sized for city buses, coaches and heavy trucks. The pack runs at 0.5C rated power with 1C peak, cooled by natural air flow rather than a liquid loop, which removes a pump, a radiator and a failure mode from the vehicle.
Key Benefits
- Air-cooled by natural convection, so there is no coolant circuit to service
- Working environment of -20 C to +50 C and altitude up to 2000 m
- IP65 enclosure suited to depot washing and open-road operation
- 1C maximum power gives headroom for gradients and acceleration
Buyers Who Specify This System
- Bus assemblers building city and intercity electric fleets
- Heavy truck manufacturers electrifying short-haul and yard tractors
- Public transport operators running fixed-route depot-charged fleets
- Distributors who supply electric buses to municipal tenders
What Usually Goes Wrong Without It
- Liquid-cooled packs add plumbing, coolant service and leak risk to a vehicle that already runs long shifts
- Buses need a pack that survives a full daily route, not a quoted laboratory range
- Pack dimensions rarely match the roof or underfloor space of an existing bus platform
- Altitude and cold starts push packs outside the window they were specified for

From Your Requirement To A Shipped System
The four stages every order of this product passes through.
Route energy study
Daily kilometres, stop density and depot charging power decide the pack size before anything is drawn.
Cell grading
Cylindrical cells are graded and matched so the string stays balanced over life.
Module and pack build
Modules are built, wired and sealed to IP65 in the assembly workshop.
Charge and discharge validation
Each pack is cycled and its temperature spread logged before release.
What We Can Evidence And What We Cannot
Cell Chemistry
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). We have 20 years of experience producing iron lithium battery cells and hold 452 technology patents in LiFePO4 batteries.
Certification
MSDS and UN38.3 are held as the basis of any certificate. Further market certificates are applied for according to each market policy requirement, so tell us the destination country at quotation stage.
Warranty And Recycling
Two years warranty on lithium battery products. We hold national qualification for lithium battery recycling and are one of four nationally licensed cell recycling enterprises in China.
What Can Be Changed
The model can be customised according to the specific needs of the market. In practice that means voltage window, capacity, enclosure dimensions, connector and charging standard, communication protocol and branding.
We private label your brand, and products can be customised for you. Sole agency is available depending on your project plan, market plan and operation.
Before The First Order
Send four things and we can configure without a second round of questions: the application and duty cycle, the energy required per day or per charge, the voltage window your system expects, and the destination market.
Minimum order quantity normally starts from one 40 HC container. Delivery is within 60 days on a first order and 30 days from the second. Payment is TT or LC at sight depending on the market.

What vehicles is this pack applied to?
All kinds of heavy trucks, buses and other power battery applications.
Is the pack liquid cooled?
No. It uses natural air cooling, which removes the coolant loop and its maintenance from the vehicle.
What is the highest altitude it can operate at?
Up to 2000 m.
Can the size be changed for our bus platform?
Yes. The model can be customised according to the specific needs of the market and the platform.
What certificates do you hold for shipping?
MSDS and UN38.3 are the basis for any certificate. Further market certificates are applied for according to each market policy requirement.
