The Hikvision DS-2FSCH30 is a professional rechargeable lithium battery pack designed for solar-powered surveillance systems. Featuring a 30 Ah capacity, nominal voltage of 10.8 V, an integrated MPPT solar controller, built-in heater, and an IP68-rated aluminum alloy housing, it ensures stable and optimized outdoor power delivery for security installations in challenging environments.
Hikvision DS-2FSCH30 Solar Power Lithium Battery Pack
This heavy-duty lithium battery pack is designed for outdoor solar surveillance setups, particularly Hikvision solar-powered camera models (such as the DS-2XS series). It operates as a fully integrated power module containing a 30 Ah lithium-ion battery. The integrated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller maximizes charging efficiency from connected solar panels, ensuring your security system remains powered even during low-sunlight periods.
The DS-2FSCH30 is constructed with a rugged IP68-rated aluminum alloy enclosure, providing complete protection against dust ingress and continuous water immersion. A built-in automatic heater activates in freezing conditions to protect battery chemistry and ensure reliable charging and discharging in extreme cold environments.
Integrated MPPT Solar Charge Controller
Unlike standard battery enclosures, the DS-2FSCH30 features an internal MPPT solar power controller. By continuously tracking the maximum power point of the solar panel, it increases solar charging efficiency, ensuring the battery charges faster and maintains a healthy cycle life throughout its operational lifespan.
Note: This model provides a nominal voltage of 10.8V and capacity of 30 Ah. It features a built-in heater and supports RS-485 communication for remote battery health monitoring.
Built-In Intelligent Battery Heater
Lithium batteries degrade quickly when charged in below-freezing temperatures. To prevent this, the DS-2FSCH30 is equipped with a built-in heating element. When ambient temperatures drop below 0°C, the heater warms the internal battery cells to safe operating levels, enabling continuous charging down to -20°C.
Rugged IP68 Aluminum Alloy Housing
Built to endure the harshest outdoor installations, the battery is housed in a robust aluminum alloy case with an IP68 protection rating (tested up to 1.5 meters for 72 hours). It prevents any dust or water ingress, protecting internal circuits from humidity, heavy rain, dust storms, and corrosion.
Advanced RS-485 Communication
The battery pack features an RS-485 serial communication interface. This allows connected cameras or control systems to monitor battery metrics in real-time, including charge state, battery capacity, temperature, voltage, and health status, simplifying system troubleshooting.
