FranklinWH second gen battery features 15-kWh capacity and 60-MWh warranty

FranklinWH Energy Storage unveiled the next generation of its whole-home energy management solutions at the RE+ tradeshow this week.

The aPower 2 lithium-iron phosphate battery system features a 15-kWh capacity and 10 kW of continuous output power. FranklinWH has also extended the warranty of the battery system to 15 years or 60 MWh throughput, which is more than 10,000 cycles.

“We are committed to a brighter, energy-independent future, driven by a steady pipeline of product innovations,” said Gary Lam, Co-Founder and CEO of FranklinWH. “Our solution upgrades demonstrate our focus on both incremental advancements and major achievements, ensuring meaningful progress at every step that creates increased value for homeowners and empowers them to make their homes smarter and more resilient.”

For larger applications, the aPower 2 can be stacked up to 225 kWh or 15 aPowers per aGate. By using fan-less convection with whisper-quiet operation, it is also significantly quieter and more reliable than traditional industry-standard fan cooled batteries.

Also unveiled today was the updated aGate, the company’s intelligent controller. It now features easier installation and wiring, a generator module, and commissioning with Bluetooth to avoid internet interruption. Two aPowers can now also be connected to the aGate via a quad breaker, eliminating the need for a combiner box.

The FranklinWH App has been enhanced with revamped visuals, a smart voice assistant for hands-free commands, and new energy data analysis. Homeowners can take further control over their energy usage through Smart Control capabilities, including customized scheduling, improved energy balancing, and more control options for FranklinWH Smart Circuits. Lastly, new Smart Voice Control can also provide homeowners with AI-enabled instant answers for seamless, instant support whenever needed.

“At FranklinWH, we take pride in offering whole home solutions that help homeowners future-proof their homes against rising costs and grid outages,” said Vincent Ambrose, Chief Commercial Officer at FranklinWH.
