Lithium IPS for Schools and Coaching Centres in Bangladesh — Complete Guide 2026
Load shedding is one of the biggest challenges for schools and coaching centres across Bangladesh. Whether it is a government school in a rural area or a private coaching centre in Dhaka, uninterrupted power is essential — especially during summer months when fans and lights run continuously. A lithium IPS for schools provides reliable backup power that keeps classrooms running even during extended outages.
HiTHIUM Bangladesh offers purpose-built lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems designed specifically for educational institutions. From small coaching centres to large school campuses, our range covers every need. In this guide, we explain which HiTHIUM product is right for your institution and how to size it correctly.
Why Schools and Coaching Centres Need Reliable Backup Power
Most schools in Bangladesh operate between 7 AM and 7 PM. During load shedding, this is exactly when students need power the most — for ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, computer labs, and projectors. A traditional tubular battery IPS may only last 2-3 hours before needing recharge, leaving students in the dark for the rest of the day.
Lithium IPS systems like the HiTHIUM HeroEE series offer several advantages over lead-acid batteries:
- Longer backup time: LiFePO4 batteries can discharge deeper (80-90% DOD) without damage, giving you more usable capacity from the same rated kWh.
- Faster recharge: Lithium batteries accept charge faster, so they recover quickly when power is restored.
- Longer lifespan: HiTHIUM HeroEE batteries are rated for 11,000+ cycles at 25°C — that is roughly 10-15 years of daily use, compared to 2-3 years for tubular batteries.
- Lower maintenance: No watering, no acid spills, no heavy lifting of battery boxes.
- Built-in BMS: Each unit has a Battery Management System that protects against overcharge, over-discharge, and short circuits.
For a coaching centre running 10 fans and 8 tube lights for 6 hours daily, a properly sized lithium IPS system can eliminate the need for a noisy diesel generator and reduce electricity costs significantly.

HiTHIUM MaxPower 8 AIO — 8kWh All-in-One Solar IPS
The HiTHIUM MaxPower 8 AIO is an all-in-one solar IPS system with a built-in 9000W MPPT solar charger. This means you do not need a separate charge controller. Key specifications:

Best for: Schools that want to invest in solar power. The built-in MPPT charger means you can connect up to 9kW of solar panels directly, and the 5000VA inverter can handle heavy loads like room coolers and water pumps. This is the best long-term investment for a school that wants to reduce electricity bills to near zero.
HiTHIUM L12314ES — 4019Wh Standalone Lithium Battery
The HiTHIUM L12314ES 4019Wh is a standalone LiFePO4 battery module designed to pair with existing inverter systems. Key specs:

| Voltage | 12.8V nominal |
| Battery Chemistry | LiFePO4 |
| Cycle Life | 11,000 cycles |
Best for: Schools that already have an inverter and want to upgrade from tubular lead-acid batteries to lithium. Simply replace the old battery bank with the L12314ES and enjoy double the backup time with half the maintenance.
How to Size a Lithium IPS for Your School
Sizing a lithium IPS system is straightforward once you know your total load. Here is a step-by-step guide:
- List every device that needs backup: fans, lights, computers, projectors, ceiling fans, water pumps, etc.
- Find the wattage of each device. Look at the label on the back or in the manual. A typical ceiling fan is 75W, a tube light is 40W, a desktop computer is 150-250W, and a projector is 200-300W.
- Multiply wattage by hours of daily use. For example, 10 fans × 75W × 6 hours = 4,500Wh per day.
- Add a 20% buffer for inverter efficiency losses and future expansion. So 4,500Wh × 1.2 = 5,400Wh minimum.
- Choose a system with at least that capacity. The MaxPower 8 AIO (8kWh) would be a good fit for this example.
Quick sizing reference for Bangladeshi schools:
| School Type | Typical Load | Recommended System |
|---|---|---|
| Small coaching centre (1 room, 20 students) | 500-800W | HeroEE 2 (2kWh) |
| Medium school (3-5 classrooms) | 1,000-2,000W | HeroEE 2 + L12314ES (6kWh) |
| Large school (10+ classrooms, lab, admin) | 2,000-4,000W | MaxPower 8 AIO (8kWh) |
| Full campus with solar ambition | 4,000-6,000W | HeroEE 16 (16kWh) + solar array |
Example: A Typical Coaching Centre in Dhaka
Consider a coaching centre in Dhaka with the following equipment running during 4 PM to 9 PM load shedding:
- 8 ceiling fans (75W each) = 600W
- 12 tube lights (40W each) = 480W
- 2 computer monitors (60W each) = 120W
- 1 projector (200W) = 200W
Total load: 1,400W
Daily energy: 1,400W × 5 hours = 7,000Wh (7kWh)
Recommended system: MaxPower 8 AIO (8kWh) with 2kW of solar panels
With this setup, the solar panels recharge the battery during the day while classes are running, and the 8kWh battery provides backup through the evening. In monsoon season when solar input is lower, the system still draws from the grid when needed — switching seamlessly.
Common Questions About Lithium IPS for Schools
How much does a lithium IPS system cost for a school in Bangladesh?
A HiTHIUM HeroEE 2 (2kWh) costs approximately BDT 120,000-150,000. The MaxPower 8 AIO (8kWh) is priced around BDT 450,000-550,000. The HeroEE 16 (16kWh) is typically above BDT 800,000. Prices vary depending on solar panel add-ons and installation. HiTHIUM offers free site surveys and custom quotes for institutional buyers across Bangladesh.
Can a lithium IPS run a school projector and laptop simultaneously?
Yes. A single HeroEE 2 (2kWh) with its 1000W inverter can run a projector (200-300W) and a laptop (60W) simultaneously for 4-5 hours. For multiple projectors or larger screens, choose the MaxPower 8 AIO which has a 5000VA inverter output.
How long does a LiFePO4 battery last in Bangladesh’s climate?
LiFePO4 batteries are rated for 11,000+ cycles at 25°C. In Bangladesh’s tropical climate (average 28-35°C), cycle life is slightly reduced but still exceeds 8,000 cycles — roughly 8-10 years of daily use. HiTHIUM units include thermal management to protect the battery during summer. This is significantly longer than tubular lead-acid batteries, which last 2-3 years in the same conditions.
Is solar compatibility important for school IPS systems?
Yes. Solar compatibility reduces your electricity bill to near zero over time. The MaxPower 8 AIO has a built-in 9000W MPPT charge controller, meaning you can connect up to 9kW of solar panels directly. For a school running 7kWh daily, 2-3kW of solar panels is sufficient to fully recharge the battery during daylight hours. At current BDPCL rates, this saves approximately BDT 8,000-12,000 per month on electricity costs alone.
