Engineered for high thermal tolerance, low self-discharge rates, and seamless utility grid pairing.
Under the vision of the Rwanda Energy Group (REG) and the national electrification plan, Rwanda aims to achieve 100% electricity access for households and commercial enterprises. To make this transition economically viable, solar photovoltaic systems paired with advanced energy storage are replacing costly and polluting diesel generators. However, the high ambient temperatures in East Africa's sub-tropical regions impose severe thermal stress on energy storage systems.
Traditional Lead-Acid batteries degrade rapidly within 2 to 3 years under these conditions. Conversely, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry offers unmatched thermal stability, allowing systems to safely operate at up to 60°C without risk of thermal runaway. By sourcing directly from a Tier-1 OEM factory, developers in Kigali, Gisenyi, and Butare can design microgrids that deliver stable power for over 15 years.
A comparisons of physical durability, charge retention, and structural security in extreme conditions.
LiFePO4 has a thermal runaway temperature threshold of 270°C, compared to just 150°C for NMC batteries. This makes LFP inherently safe for installations in un-airconditioned, containerized rural enclosures.
Engineered to deliver over 5,000 complete charge/discharge cycles at 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD). This equals roughly 14 years of daily cycling, minimizing expensive service calls in remote locations.
Integrated proprietary Battery Management Systems (BMS) protect cells against overvoltage, undervoltage, thermal spikes, and phase issues. Remote diagnostics are enabled via RS485 and CAN communication ports.

With a strong engineering team and a customer-oriented approach, Sahnova continues to provide customized solutions and technical support to clients worldwide. The company is committed to innovation, quality, and sustainability, striving to become a trusted global partner in the lithium battery and energy storage industry.
To produce batteries that can reliably operate for decades, manufacturing precision is paramount. Our automated factories implement advanced cell sorting algorithms, ensuring matching impedance, voltage, and capacitance across all modules.
We use automated laser welding to create secure, low-resistance connections between cell terminals, preventing the hotspot failures common in manually assembled packs. Before shipping, each battery pack undergo rigorous aging tests and thermal simulation cycles under load to guarantee field performance.
Partnering directly with a factory in Ningbo provides significant shipping advantages. Our proximity to the Port of Ningbo allows us to secure reliable shipping routes to East Africa via Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, ensuring stable delivery times and cost-effective shipping for our customers.
Ensuring smooth customs clearance and regulatory compliance for hassle-free integration.
Our battery packs are fully certified to international standards including UN38.3, IEC 62619, CE, and UL1973, meeting the import standards of the Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) for smooth port customs clearance.
We work with trusted logistics partners to arrange secure container shipping (FCL/LCL) from the Port of Ningbo to Kigali via the Ports of Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, handling all transit documentation along the way.
From design to deployment, our team provides complete technical support, including BMS configuration files, schematics, and installation guides, to ensure seamless integration on site.
Complete system configurations and cells for telecom, grid storage, and e-mobility applications.
A structured approach to sourcing high-volume industrial lithium batteries for East African developers.
Industrial solar projects and municipal microgrids require battery solutions tailored to their exact specifications. We work closely with EPC contractors and distributors to provide custom lithium battery options, including specific form factors, communications protocols, and output parameters. Our engineering team helps design and configure systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing inverter systems and solar arrays.
