CORNEX PF173-314A 3.2V 314Ah LiFePO4 Prismatic ESS Cell

1 kWh-Per-Cell Grade A Prismatic LFP for Commercial & Industrial ESS

When you are engineering a 48V commercial rack or a containerized storage system, every additional cell adds busbar joints, BMS channels, compression hardware, and labour hours. The CORNEX PF173-314A 3.2V 314Ah LiFePO4 Prismatic ESS Cell removes that complexity by delivering 1,004.8Wh — a full nominal kilowatt-hour — in a single cell. A standard 16S configuration yields 51.2V 314Ah (≈16.08kWh) from just 16 cells, backed by a 12,000-cycle laboratory rating and ≥94.5% round-trip energy efficiency at 0.5P. For telecom operators, solar EPCs, and industrial load-shaving projects across Pakistan, the PF173-314A is the fastest path from cell procurement to a commissioned, high-density energy storage system.

Why Choose the CORNEX PF173-314A for Commercial ESS?

1. One Cell, One Kilowatt-Hour — Half the Hardware

A 51.2V rack delivering ≈16kWh requires only 16 PF173-314A cells. The same energy from 100Ah-class prismatic cells demands roughly 50 cells (16S3P) — triple the busbar joints, triple the BMS sense channels, and triple the compression hardware. Fewer components mean fewer potential failure points and dramatically faster assembly and commissioning on site.

2. Lowest Price Per Nominal kWh in Newon’s Prismatic Lineup

At PKR 23,850 per 1,004.8Wh cell, the PF173-314A works out to approximately PKR 23,736 per nominal kWh — the most energy-dense rupee spend in our prismatic range (versus ≈PKR 27,574/kWh for the EVE LF100LA and ≈PKR 30,625/kWh for the CORNEX PF160-100A). For capital-intensive commercial storage, cell-level PKR/kWh dominates the bill of materials.

3. ≥94.5% Round-Trip Efficiency at 0.5P

Higher efficiency means less energy lost as heat on every cycle. In daily-cycled industrial load-shaving and telecom backup applications, ≥94.5% efficiency compounds into measurable revenue retention over the system’s life — and reduces the cooling load on indoor battery rooms in Pakistan’s hot climate.

Honest Comparison: PF173-314A vs PF160-100A vs EVE LF100LA

All three are Grade A tier-1 prismatic LFP cells stocked by Newon. Choose the PF173-314A when energy density, PKR/kWh, and build simplicity dominate; choose the PF160-100A when cost per rated cycle dominates; choose the EVE LF100LA for verified 102Ah capacity in standard-footprint residential banks.

“The 314Ah class is where cell selection stops being a product decision and becomes a systems-engineering decision. Sixteen cells instead of fifty means sixteen torque points to verify, not fifty — and at 5.6kg per cell, your rack structure, lifting plan, and compression design matter as much as the chemistry. This is a professional-build cell, and we sell it that way: with matched batches, engineering support, and no DIY shortcuts.”

Professional Integration Requirements — Not a DIY Cell

A loose cell is not a finished battery. Large-format 314Ah cells demand engineered integration, and Newon supplies them on that basis:

• Compression & Mechanical Support: Rigid steel or thick-aluminium compression fixtures applying uniform face pressure; rack structures rated for ≈89.6kg per 16S pack plus dynamic load.
• High-Current Busbars & Fusing: Correctly sized copper busbars torqued to the terminal specification in the batch datasheet, with class-appropriate fusing per string.
• BMS / Contactor Architecture: Commercial-grade BMS with heavy-duty contactors for charge/discharge isolation; sense wiring to every series node.
• Insulation & Enclosure Protection: Inter-cell insulation, terminal barriers, and IP-rated enclosures suitable for the installation environment.
• Turnkey Assembly: Newon’s Custom Battery Solutions Service provides laser welding, compression fabrication, BMS integration, thermal layout, and full capacity/commissioning testing for PF173-based racks.
• Component Supply: Balance your build with the JK Smart BMS 8-24S for monitoring/balancing duties and browse insulation, busbar, and enclosure hardware in the Solar and Energy Storage Category.

CORNEX PF173-314A FAQ

Is the 12,000 cycle life guaranteed in real-world use?

No. The 12,000-cycle figure is published on CORNEX’s energy-storage page as a laboratory result. Real-world lifespan depends on operating temperature, charge/discharge rate, depth of discharge, compression, BMS settings, and pack design. Confirm the exact test condition and end-of-life criterion from the current batch datasheet before specifying for tender documents.

How many cells do I need for a 48V commercial rack?

A 16S configuration (51.2V nominal) of PF173-314A cells delivers 314Ah — approximately 16.08kWh per rack. For higher capacity, parallel 16S strings (e.g., 16S2P = ≈32.2kWh) with string-level fusing and matched-batch cells per string.

CORNEX PF173-314A vs PF160-100A — which should I choose?

Choose the PF173-314A when energy density, lowest PKR per nominal kWh (≈23,736), and reduced build complexity dominate — it needs only 16 cells for ≈16kWh. Choose the PF160-100A when cost per rated cycle dominates (≈PKR 1.63 vs ≈1.99) and standard-footprint racking is already in place.

Can DIY builders use these 314Ah cells?

Not recommended. At 5.6kg per cell with high available fault current, these cells require engineered compression, high-current busbars, fusing, contactor-based BMS, and enclosure protection. Newon supplies them for professional builds and offers turnkey assembly through our Custom Battery Solutions Service.

What certifications does this cell carry?

GB, UN38.3, UL and IEC testing references appear on CORNEX’s published pages. Newon does not publish certification logos or compliance claims until the exact certificates covering this model and the destination market are verified for your batch. Request certificate copies via WhatsApp for tender or compliance documentation.

Disclaimer: Specifications are based on the manufacturer product page or supplier’s current technical datasheet for the stated model. Actual performance varies with production revision, cell age, temperature, charge/discharge rate, depth of discharge, compression, BMS settings and pack design. Cycle-life figures are laboratory results under specified conditions and are not a guarantee of service life. A loose cell is not a finished battery. A completed pack requires a compatible BMS, protection, fusing, insulation, mechanical support and a suitable charger.
