Intelligent cell compression, high-end engineering and long-lasting power

Safety & Performance

The SaftkistePRO – developed and manufactured in Germany – utilizes a professional compression cell module, produced precisely according to the cell manufacturers' specifications. Thanks to defined caging and high-quality Poron® interlayers, compression forces remain optimally distributed – resulting in significantly longer cycle life and controlled cell behavior during breathing and swelling. Simultaneously, reliably triggering safety valves ensure maximum operational safety.

The SaftkistePRO achieves a service life of up to 20 years and offers stable capacity and fast charging performance even after many cycles. By replacing the standard 75 Ah AGM battery,
The usable capacity is quadrupled, with 30% less weight.

An intelligent DualBMS®, IP-protected components, cell heating down to -30 °C, and a robust IP67 housing make the CALIFAKTUR lithium offgrid package a reliable energy source – far superior to cheaper alternatives. Quality, safety, and sophisticated engineering ensure long-term satisfaction.
