6.4V 14.4Ah IFR26650 LiFePO4 Battery Pack for LoRa Gateway
Background / Challenge
LoRa gateways are widely used in smart agriculture, industrial monitoring, smart-city infrastructure, and remote IoT networks. In many deployments, communication equipment operates outdoors or in locations where access to a continuous power supply is limited.
These applications require a battery solution that can support extended standby periods, stable low-current operation, and reliable power delivery under changing environmental conditions. Frequent battery replacement can also increase maintenance work for equipment installed in remote areas.
For this type of application, the battery solution needs to address several requirements:
- Suitable voltage and capacity for the connected communication equipment.
- Stable power delivery during low-power wireless communication.
- Operating temperature compatibility with the intended outdoor environment.
- Appropriate battery protection functions.
- Compatibility with the device enclosure and system integration requirements.
Solution
PKCELL's customized 6.4V 14.4Ah IFR26650 LiFePO4 battery pack is designed for outdoor LoRa gateway and IoT communication applications. The pack combines a 6.4V nominal voltage with a 14.4Ah rated capacity, providing 92.16Wh of nominal energy for equipment integration.
The battery pack specification includes a 2S24P configuration, an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, and protection functions for overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, short circuit, and temperature abnormalities.
Depending on the final device requirements, battery pack selection should also account for the gateway's voltage limits, average and peak current consumption, expected operating time, charging method, and installation environment.
For similar projects, PKCELL can discuss customized battery pack requirements involving voltage, capacity, cell configuration, wiring, connectors, dimensions, and protection functions.
