CATL DC Block + Sinexl Hybrid.

Latest CATL DC battery blocks paired with CEC-approved Sinexl hybrid inverters for maximum efficiency, resilience and incentive eligibility. Engineered for commercial, industrial and utility microgrids.

CATL DC Block + Sinexl Hybrid Inverters
/ Overview

Storage that earns while it waits.

The CATL DC Block paired with Sinexl Hybrid Inverters delivers a high-efficiency, CEC-approved energy storage solution engineered for commercial, industrial and utility-scale microgrids. The system combines CATL's latest lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) DC battery blocks with Sinexl's field-proven hybrid inverter platform to maximise round-trip efficiency, extend asset life and provide seamless backup power during grid outages.

Designed for integration with on-site solar PV, EV fast-charging loads and AI data centre containers, the system supports both AC- and DC-coupled architectures with intelligent power orchestration via the eBox-251 microgrid controller. Whether the goal is peak shaving, demand-charge management or full off-grid resilience, this stack is built to pay back.

/ Features

Built for uptime and ROI.

CEC-Approved Inverters

Sinexl hybrid inverters are CEC-listed, unlocking US federal ITC and state-level incentive eligibility.

Liquid-Cooled LFP Cells

CATL's liquid-cooled design keeps cell-to-cell temperature variance under 2 °C for maximum cycle life.

Black-Start Capable

Restores microgrid power without grid presence within 200 ms — essential for mission-critical sites.

AI Predictive Maintenance

eBox-251 integration forecasts SOH degradation 30–60 days ahead, scheduling service before failure.

Plug-and-Play Blocks

Skidded, factory-tested battery blocks cut on-site commissioning time by 60 % versus stick-build.

Four-Quadrant Operation

Grid-forming and grid-following modes with dynamic frequency-watt and volt-var for grid services revenue.
