Electriq Power has launched its newest lithium-iron phosphate battery for the residential market: PowerPod 2.

Notable product enhancements of the PowerPod 2 include:

  • More power: 11.4 kW of DC solar input (AC-coupled available in early 2021)
  • Improved power output: 7.6 kW continuous and 9.1 kW peak for 60 seconds
  • 96% round-trip efficiency
  • Outdoor-rated battery (NEMA 3R)
  • Resilient communication with PowerPod during power and internet outages via built-in LTE
  • Modular and easy to install, plus guaranteed commissioning during installation with LTE
  • Grid services-ready through OpenADR 2.0b certification or Electriq-developed PowerADR protocol

“With each new generation, the PowerPod product continues to raise the bar on hardware, software, and control functionalities for residential energy storage systems,” said Frank Magnotti, CEO of Electriq Power. “This one builds upon our success with PowerPod 1 and offers a very robust and safe LFP-based storage system at an affordable price. We believe that the PowerPod 2 is one of the most capable, feature-rich residential battery systems on the market, and we look forward to receiving feedback from customers and installers in the coming months.”

Electriq Power is currently accepting preorders for the PowerPod 2, with volume deliveries expected in January 2021.
