CATL 176Ah 3.2V Grade A LiFePO4 Prismatic Battery Cell – VDA Standard High-Density Core – 6,000+ Cycles for EV & Solar Energy Systems

Additional information

Capacity

The CATL 176Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell VDA Prismatic is widely considered the “Hidden Gem” of the standardized VDA platform. Manufactured by CATL, the world-renowned Tier-1 leader, this cell is engineered for professionals who prioritize real-world energy throughput over labeled specifications. Measuring 53mm x 173mm x 200mm, it shares the exact same physical footprint as larger 202Ah and 228Ah models, offering a lighter weight (3.82kg) and a much more competitive price point.

Key Product Highlights: The High-ROI Energy Pillar

  • 🚀 Under-Promised, Over-Delivered Capacity: While officially rated at 176Ah, the CATL 176Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell VDA Prismatic is famous for its conservative rating. Many high-quality batches test significantly higher, often approaching 200Ah, providing a massive increase in energy value for your investment.
  • 📏 Standardized VDA Drop-in Compatibility: Its precision VDA dimensions make it a perfect drop-in option for battery boxes and racks designed for standard VDA modules. This allow system integrators to build flexible, tiered capacity packs without changing hardware, fixtures, or busbar designs.
  • Exceptional 6,000+ Cycle Longevity: Engineered for extreme durability, this cell offers an industrial-leading cycle life of 6,000 cycles or more. This translates to over 15 years of daily service in residential solar or commercial energy storage systems with minimal capacity fade.
  • 📉 Market-Leading Efficiency: Featuring an ultra-low internal resistance of ≤ 0.28 mΩ, the 176Ah VDA cell minimizes energy loss during high-load charging and discharging. This results in cooler operation and higher overall round-trip efficiency for high-performance battery banks.
  • 💰 Optimized Power-to-Weight Ratio: By delivering substantial energy in a 3.82kg prismatic package, this cell is the definitive choice for mobile applications and portable power stations where reducing total system weight without sacrificing reliability is paramount.

Battery Applications

Solar & Renewable Energy

Residential and commercial ESS, off-grid solar systems, and micro-grids.

Electric Mobility (EV/AGV)

High-power cells for EVs, electric buses, forklifts, and automated guided vehicles.

Marine & Maritime Power

Reliable power for electric boats, yachts, and offshore energy storage.

Telecom & UPS Backup

Stable backup power for 5G base stations, data centers, and industrial UPS.

🔋 Standard Charging: Only use chargers specifically designed for LiFePO4/LTO chemistry. Do not exceed the maximum charge voltage and current specified in the datasheet.

🌡️ Temperature Range: Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 0°C (unless specified) or above 45°C. Discharge temperature must remain within -20°C to 60°C.

⚡ Short Circuit Prevention: Strictly avoid direct connection between the positive and negative terminals with any metal objects. Ensure terminals are insulated during assembly.

🛡️ BMS Requirement: These are raw cells. A high-quality Battery Management System (BMS) must be installed for over-charge, over-discharge, and thermal protection.

⚠️ Physical Protection: Do not puncture, crush, or drop the cells. If cells show leakage or deformation, stop using them immediately and contact DLCPO Support.

Lithium Battery Sourcing & Service FAQ

❓ Q1: Why should I choose DLCPO Power for my lithium battery projects?

  💡   A: DLCPO Power is a professional, technology-driven distributor specialized in high-grade lithium cells. We are an authorized gateway to industry-leading brands including CALB, EVE, REPT, and GOTION. Unlike standard trading firms, we provide engineering-grade quality control, ensuring every cell is 100% tested and precision-matched for voltage and internal resistance before dispatch.

  💡  A: This is a deliberate strategic choice to protect your battery lifecycle. Batteries stored in overseas warehouses for months suffer from capacity degradation and voltage imbalance. At DLCPO, we operate on a “Zero Aged Stock” model. Every order is fulfilled via made-to-order production or allocated from the absolute latest factory batches. This guarantees you receive 100% fresh Grade A cells with peak chemical activity and perfectly matched performance.

  💡  A: Yes, we provide full technical customization to simplify your assembly. Based on your project requirements, we can professionally process each batch by laser-welding specific terminals (such as standard M6 threaded studs) and providing perfectly matched connecting busbars. Our goal is to ensure your cells arrive “plug-and-play” ready for immediate pack integration.

  💡 A: We offer a streamlined B2B purchasing experience:

  1. Consultation: Confirming cell models and technical specs via dlcpo@dlcpo.com.

  2. Flexible Terms: We support EXW, FOB, and DDP shipping (available for most global regions, handling all customs and import taxes).

  3. Fresh Allocation: Arranging the latest factory batch production.

  4. Testing & Logistics: 100% matching test followed by UN38.3 compliant dangerous goods packaging and global dispatch.

  💡  A: At DLCPO, we firmly believe that receiving payment and delivering goods is not the end of a transaction, but the true beginning of our service value. Our technical team provides continuous post-delivery support, including warranty assistance and BMS configuration guidance. We don’t just sell cells; we ensure your energy systems perform optimally for their entire service life.
