What is the Dahua PFM372-L45-4S14P used for?

The PFM372-L45-4S14P is an integrated 45Ah solar lithium battery designed for specified Dahua off-grid surveillance power systems. It supplies 12.8V DC storage for compatible solar installations and is housed in a die-cast aluminium IP66 enclosure. It is a power-storage component only and does not replace the solar panel, charge controller, mounting structure, camera or other parts required for a complete solar surveillance system.

Which Dahua solar systems are compatible with this battery?

Dahua lists the PFM372-L45-4S14P for use with the DH-PFM364L-D1, DH-PFM363L-D1 and DH-PFM363L-SD1 integrated solar systems. Compatibility with other controllers, solar frames or battery enclosures is not confirmed by the supplied datasheet. The connector, charging voltage, current limits, mounting space and controller settings should all be checked before using the battery with any system that is not specifically listed.

What are the main electrical ratings of the PFM372-L45-4S14P?

The battery has a nominal capacity of 45Ah and a rated voltage of 12.8V DC. Dahua lists standard charging and discharging currents of 9A, maximum charging and discharging currents of 10A, a maximum charging voltage of 14.6V DC and internal resistance of no more than 80 milliohms. The connected solar controller and load must remain within these ratings.

Is the PFM372-L45-4S14P suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes. The integrated enclosure is rated IP66 and is made from die-cast aluminium, providing protection against dust and powerful water jets when correctly installed. The battery operates from -20°C to +60°C at less than 95% relative humidity. Cable connections, mounting hardware and the wider solar-power assembly must also be installed correctly, because the battery rating does not automatically weatherproof unrelated system components.

What connector does the battery use?

The PFM372-L45-4S14P uses an M15 female connector for connection to a compatible Dahua integrated solar power system. The connector type alone does not confirm electrical compatibility with another product. Before connection, verify the controller output, polarity, charging voltage, charge and discharge current limits and the intended system model. The datasheet does not identify a separate adaptor cable, solar controller or panel as included with the battery.

What are the operating and storage temperature limits?

Dahua specifies an operating temperature from -20°C to +60°C with relative humidity below 95%. The listed storage range is narrower at 0°C to +40°C, also below 95% relative humidity. These limits should be considered during transport, warehousing and site design. Battery performance and service life can be affected by prolonged heat, cold or unsuitable storage even when the enclosure remains within its IP66 protection rating.

Does the datasheet specify the cell chemistry, cycle life or internal protection functions?

The supplied datasheet identifies the product as an integrated solar lithium battery but does not state the detailed cell chemistry, cycle-life rating or specific internal battery-management protections. These points should not be assumed from the model number alone. Where a project requires a documented cycle count, discharge-depth limit, low-temperature charging protection or detailed BMS behaviour, obtain written confirmation for the exact supplied product revision before specification.

What should I confirm before ordering this 45Ah solar battery?

Confirm that the solar system is one of the listed compatible Dahua models, and check the required 12.8V battery voltage, 14.6V maximum charging voltage, current limits, M15 connection and available enclosure space. Also review the site temperature, expected camera load and required autonomy. Security Wholesalers can check the intended solar-system model and power requirements before the battery is deployed as a replacement or project component.

Description

Product SKU: DHI-PFM372-L45-4S14P

Product Overview

The Dahua DHI-PFM372-L45-4S14P, officially specified as model PFM372-L45-4S14P, is a 45Ah integrated solar lithium battery designed for selected Dahua off-grid surveillance power systems. It provides a rated 12.8V DC output with listed 9A charging and discharging currents, supporting compatible remote CCTV installations where mains power is unavailable or impractical. The battery is housed in a grey die-cast aluminium enclosure rated IP66 for correctly installed outdoor use and connects through an M15 female connector. Dahua lists compatibility with the DH-PFM364L-D1, DH-PFM363L-D1 and DH-PFM363L-SD1 integrated solar systems. The unit operates from -20°C to +60°C and weighs 8.5kg. It is a battery assembly only and does not replace the solar panel, charge controller, mounting frame, camera or other components required for a complete solar surveillance system.

Key Capabilities

45Ah Solar Energy Storage

The integrated battery provides a nominal capacity of 45Ah at a rated 12.8V DC. It is intended to store energy generated by a compatible Dahua solar system and supply supported surveillance equipment when sunlight is unavailable.

Defined Charge and Discharge Limits

Dahua lists 9A charging and discharging currents, with maximum charging and discharging currents of 10A. The maximum charging voltage is 14.6V DC, allowing the battery to be matched with the specified solar controllers.

IP66 Die-Cast Aluminium Housing

The grey die-cast aluminium enclosure is rated IP66 for protection against dust and powerful water jets. Correct connector engagement, mounting and installation of the complete solar assembly remain necessary for reliable outdoor operation.

M15 Female System Connection

An M15 female connector provides the electrical interface to the compatible integrated solar system. Connector shape alone does not confirm suitability with an unrelated controller, and voltage, polarity and current limits must also match.

Purpose-Matched Dahua Compatibility

The battery is specifically listed for the DH-PFM364L-D1, DH-PFM363L-D1 and DH-PFM363L-SD1 systems. This supports more predictable charging and physical integration than substituting an unverified generic battery.

Best For

Remote CCTV Installations: Stores solar-generated energy for compatible surveillance systems where mains power is unavailable.
Farms and Rural Properties: Supports selected Dahua solar systems protecting gates, sheds, yards and equipment areas.
Construction and Temporary Sites: Provides battery storage for compatible off-grid camera systems used during changing project stages.
Replacement Battery Requirements: Suits existing listed Dahua solar systems requiring the same voltage, connector and physical battery format.

Why Choose the PFM372-L45-4S14P

The PFM372-L45-4S14P provides a purpose-built battery solution for selected Dahua integrated solar systems rather than relying on a generic enclosure and separately adapted battery connection. Its 45Ah capacity, 12.8V rating, M15 interface and documented charging limits help installers match the storage component to the intended controller. The IP66 die-cast aluminium housing also simplifies outdoor deployment by combining the battery and protective enclosure in one assembly. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model should be selected only after confirming the exact solar-system model, expected camera load, required autonomy and site temperature. The supplied specification does not state detailed cell chemistry, cycle life or battery-management functions, so projects requiring those documented values should obtain confirmation for the exact supplied revision.

Buyer Decision Tips

Compatibility Tip: Use the battery only with a confirmed compatible solar controller and system. The official specification lists the DH-PFM364L-D1, DH-PFM363L-D1 and DH-PFM363L-SD1; compatibility with other platforms should not be assumed from the M15 connector alone.

Electrical and Storage Tip: Keep charging and discharging within the listed ratings and observe the narrower 0°C to +40°C storage-temperature range. Confirm polarity and controller settings before connection, and avoid storing the battery in prolonged heat, freezing conditions or uncontrolled humidity.
