BATTERY KIT SELECTION GUIDE

How to choose a LiFePO4 battery enclosure kit

Start with the cells, installation format, assembled voltage and capacity, then confirm whether the package includes only the enclosure or also the BMS and LCD.

Confirm that the product is an enclosure kit, not a complete battery

JKBMS battery enclosure kits provide the metal enclosure and the assembly hardware listed for the selected package. Battery cells, inverter, charger, external breaker, external cables, installation, and commissioning are not included unless a quotation explicitly says otherwise.

Before ordering

Confirm the complete packing list and do not assume that the displayed assembled capacity means battery cells are included.

Match the enclosure to the exact cell dimensions

Nominal amp-hour capacity alone is not enough. Cells with similar capacity can have different width, depth, height, terminal position, and compression requirements.

  • Cell width, depth, and height
  • Terminal location and thread type
  • Required compression allowance
  • Busbar and insulation clearance
  • Cell quantity and series layout
  • Cable bend radius and service access

Choose caster or 6U rack installation

Decide between enclosure-only and BMS plus LCD packages

The enclosure-only package is suitable when the buyer already has compatible protection and monitoring hardware. The enclosure plus LCD and BMS package reduces component sourcing, but the exact BMS rating, active balancing, communication protocol, cable, and inverter compatibility must still be confirmed.

For communication requirements, review the CAN vs RS485 guide. A matching interface name does not guarantee that the inverter and BMS use the same protocol.

These prices come from the current published catalogue. The selected product page, packing list and checkout remain the reference. If you choose a kit with BMS, confirm that supplied BMS and LCD rather than assuming the independent BMS-page accessory promotion applies to the enclosure-kit package.

Check assembled capacity claims correctly

Capacity values such as 15kWh or 16kWh describe the intended assembled configuration after compatible cells are installed. The actual usable energy depends on cell capacity, voltage limits, depth of discharge, temperature, cell condition, BMS settings, and inverter operation.

Verify the intended series count, nominal voltage, cell capacity, and required current before selecting a BMS or inverter.

Review dimensions, weight, ventilation, and service access

The empty caster enclosure is listed at approximately 28kg and 835 × 400 × 280mm. The empty 6U enclosure is listed at approximately 25kg and 715 × 472 × 270mm. Final assembled weight depends heavily on the installed cells and hardware.

Allow room for lifting, rack loading, cable routing, airflow, fuse or breaker access, terminal protection, and future maintenance.

Understand the shipping rule before checkout

Worldwide delivery: free EU shipping; USD 100 once per order containing either or both enclosure kits outside the EU, regardless of kit quantity.

The shipping charge applies once per order, including mixed carts and orders containing both kits. Always review the destination and selected configuration before payment because enclosure size and weight differ from standard JKBMS boards and accessories.

For example, an order containing both kits has $0.00 shipping to Italy, or $100.00 shipping to the United Kingdom. The UK, Switzerland and Norway are outside the EU. Shipping is separate from any taxes or import charges that may apply; this is not a guaranteed all-inclusive landed cost.

Transit starts after dispatch

The merchant’s EU planning estimate from the Poland warehouse is 3–5 business days after dispatch. Order processing is separate. Availability, holidays and carrier conditions can affect timing; this guide is not live inventory or a guaranteed arrival date. Confirm dispatch and the current destination estimate before ordering, especially outside the EU.

Questions buyers ask before choosing a kit

Does this kit include battery cells or a complete battery?

No. It is an enclosure and assembly-hardware kit; battery cells and a complete ready-to-use battery are not included. Capacity figures describe a possible assembled battery using compatible cells purchased separately, not energy supplied with the kit.

What is the difference between the kit packages?

Enclosure Only supplies the enclosure and the listed internal assembly hardware; BMS and LCD are not included. Enclosure + LCD + BMS adds the BMS and LCD. CCS Version includes enclosure kit + LCD + BMS + CCS, with price pending confirmation. Inverter, charger, cells, onsite installation and external wiring are not included unless explicitly stated. Check the selected package and final packing list.

Can you ship outside the EU, and how is shipping charged?

Yes, worldwide delivery is available. Shipping is USD 0 for EU addresses and USD 100 once per order containing either or both kits outside the EU, regardless of kit quantity. The UK, Switzerland and Norway are outside the EU. Review the destination before payment; taxes and import charges are not guaranteed to be included.

Does the 3–5 day estimate start when I place the order?

No. The planning estimate for EU shipments from the Poland warehouse is 3–5 business days after dispatch, not after ordering. Order preparation, availability, holidays and carrier conditions can affect timing. This is not a guaranteed arrival date or live inventory confirmation; confirm the estimate for your address and for destinations outside the EU.

Will the included BMS work with any inverter?

No. Before ordering, confirm the supplied BMS, required current, exact inverter model, CAN or RS485 application protocol, firmware and cable. A package containing a BMS and display does not guarantee universal inverter compatibility.

For a useful cell-fit enquiry, send the cell model, measured width/depth/height, terminal positions, planned series layout, BMS or inverter model, installation format and destination. Ask us to confirm the kit and packing list before assuming capacity or physical fit.

Final enclosure-kit checklist

  • Exact cell dimensions and terminal position
  • Cell chemistry and series count
  • Target nominal voltage and capacity
  • Caster or 19-inch rack installation
  • Enclosure-only or BMS plus LCD package
  • Continuous and peak current requirements
  • CAN, RS485, display, and inverter protocol
  • Available installation and service space
  • Eligible EU delivery address for free shipping from Poland
  • Qualified assembly and commissioning plan
