AIMS Power KITHY96230BAT Hybrid Kit
The AIMS Power KITHY96230BAT pairs the PIHY9600 hybrid inverter charger with AIMS’ pre-wired 230 V lithium battery cabinet to give a home or small facility grid-tie, battery backup and solar management in one system. The inverter delivers 9.6 kW continuous (11.5 kW peak for 10 minutes), accepts up to 15 kW of solar on three MPPT inputs and is listed to UL 1741-SA; the LFP230V96A-M master cabinet stores 22,114 Wh in six pre-wired LiFePO4 packs with its own BMS and connects to the inverter with three wires.
Choose self-use, sell-first or charge-first operation, add a 240 V generator for extended outages, keep an isolated backup (EPS) circuit alive and monitor everything from the AIMS app. This kit is exactly the two components AIMS lists: solar panels, PV wire, racking and the battery-to-inverter fuse kit are not included. CSE Solar USA is an authorized AIMS Power distributor.

What’s included
- 1 × AIMS PIHY9600 9.6 kW hybrid inverter charger (wall bracket, DC plugs)
- 1 × AIMS LFP230V96A-M master lithium cabinet, 230 V, 22,114 Wh
- Cabinet: 6 pre-wired LiFePO4 packs, BMS, door key, 4 lifting eye hooks
- Cabinet battery cables and COM cable to the inverter
Not included: Solar panels, racking and PV wire; Battery-to-inverter inline fuse kit (AIMS: purchased separately); AC breakers, sub-panel and interconnection hardware; Slave cabinets (LFP230V96A-S) for expansion.
Applications
- Home solar with backup: Runs the home from solar, stores the excess in the cabinet and switches to battery in a blink when the grid goes down.
- Time-of-use savings: Charge the batteries when rates are low or from solar, then power the house through peak-rate hours.
- Off-grid or generator-assisted: Works with or without the grid; a 240 V generator input can recharge the cabinet when the sun is not enough.
Solar panels, racking, PV wire and the battery-to-inverter fuse kit are not part of this kit. Installation by a qualified electrician; grid interconnection per your utility.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is in the kit?
One AIMS PIHY9600 9.6 kW hybrid inverter charger and one AIMS LFP230V96A-M master lithium battery cabinet (230 V, 96 Ah, 22,114 Wh), as listed on the AIMS kit page. The cabinet ships with its packs pre-wired, door key, lifting eye hooks, and the battery and COM cables to the inverter.
Are solar panels or the fuse kit included?
No. Solar panels, PV wire and racking are sold separately, and AIMS states the inline fuse kit between the cabinet and the inverter must be purchased separately.
Can I add more storage later?
Yes. One PIHY9600 supports up to three AIMS cabinets (one master plus two LFP230V96A-S slaves) for 66,240 Wh.
What is the warranty?
