Delivering The Uk’s Highest Charge & Discharge Rates Of 7.0Kw – That’s 2.0Kw More Than Tesla.

The Lux Power Squirrel Pod with Hanchu 9.4kWh Lithium Battery is a home Battery Storage system is by far the most powerful battery storage system we have ever represented.

The Lux Squirrel Pod is an expandable modular home battery storage system for use with or without solar panels an in conjunction with Off Peak Energy providers. Lux power Squirrel Pod controllers can be linked to increase the capacity of the system at point of installation or in the future. Each unit is Single phase G98 (G100) battery storage solution with a Max Charge/Discharge of 3500w, therefore 2 units gives 7kw of charge/discharge. Each unit can work with 1 – 8 x 9.4kWh Hanchu Lithium Batteries.

These systems come with full online or app-based monitoring including Octopus Agile/Outgoing & Go Auto Charge platform. The Lux Power controllers also provide a free Weather compensation platform within in the monitoring platform giving you even more controller over your systems performance.

The Lux Power AC controller along with Hanchu Lithium storage Batteries lets you store up power from your Solar PV Panels or cheap energy tariffs from the grid for when you really need it. With the Hanchu 9.4kWh batteries being the UK’s first lithium battery to contain Blade lithium cells, and the Lux AC controller being the highest Amp controller (70A), you are always guaranteed the highest charge and discharge rates up to 3.5kWh per controller.

Who Are Hanchu Ess?

Hanchu Ess is an established manufacturer of renewable technologies and battery storage solutions. The domestic and commercial battery solutions are distributed globally with a very strong market share. Hanchu Ess have developed a range of batteries to push the technical boundaries of performance, temperature management, monitoring, and technical support.

While Hanchu Ess are quite recent to the UK market, they are by no means new to the battery storage industry. As later arrivals to the domestic battery storage market they have certainly raised the bar in almost all areas of performance and technological development. Specialising in providing individual unit on line connectivity, they bring a new dimension for installers and customers alike. Remote health checks for every battery means simple and immediate onsite support from the other end of a computer.

Modular
Battery System

The great thing about our Lux AC & Hanchu 9.4kWh lithium batteries are they are modular which means you don’t have to jump into buying big! You can simply start off with a one or two-battery system and increase your battery capacity later by simply adding another. By starting with just one Hanchu 9.4kWh battery system, you will have reached the maximum charge & discharge the controller can provide.

Octopus
Energy Ready

The Lux AC & Hanchu battery storage system is fully automatic with Octopus Energy and all there tariffs. With its high charge & discharge rates you can ensure you are always benefiting from the maximum energy you have access too.

Blade Technology

The Hanchu 9.4kWh Lithium Blade battery is the first domestic storage battery to use Blade technology. Blade technology is the only technology which passes every global safety standard – most of which have been set by the car industry.

The level of testing for the Hanchu 9.4kWh units has significantly surpassed the necessary standards. You will see from the penetration (Nail test) that they use a significantly larger nail, giving the same excellent safety results. Further testing includes impact, bending, heat and crush, and all showed this as an extremely safe option.

Lastly each unit has an internal capsule which in the event of  critical heat detection, such as would be caused by a house fire, the capsule would explode and cover the internal cells of the battery in a protective coating which would stop any chemical reaction starting due to the heat, and allow the battery to remain inert during the fire. The battery will still need to be replaced, but no damaging chemical reaction will take place in the fire.

Up To 20 Years Warranty

All our Lux Power Controllers come with 10 Years manufacturer’s warranty. However at an extra charge of £450 + vat you can upgrade your warranty to 20 years giving you a piece of mind when it come to your investment

70Amps Charge & Discharge Rates

Most controllers on the market only allow you a maximum of 60 amps charge & Discharge rate. You will also need to use a minimum of 3 Lithium batteries to achieve the maximum charge and discharge rate of 3Kw. Our Lux Power LXP 3600 AC Squirrel Pod Controller allows you to use 70 amps and with just 1 of our Hanchu 9.4kW lithium batteries we can achieve the maximum 3.5Kw of Charge & Discharge rates.

Advanced Monitoring

Our Lux Power LXP 3600 AC comes we Free Advanced Monitoring that gives you a full insight to your system showing more information than you can handle. This information can be viewed via a web portal or Mobile App.

Advanced Weather Compensation Programming

The Lux Power range now comes with advanced weather compensation (Weather predictions). This incredible feature allows you the customer to program your night time grid charging of your Lux power controller and batteries base on tomorrow’s irradiance (Weather) in your local area. This feature is designed for you to controller and operate your battery system at its optimum level, saving you more money on your investment. “There is no need to fill your batteries from the grid in the night at a cost if tomorrow’s weather is going to be sunny and you can fill your batteries for free!”

For Example

High Irradiance

If tomorrow’s irradiance in your local area is going to be high i.e., very sunny, then you can set your controller to only charge your batteries to 20% SOC (State of Charge) from the grid i.e., Octopus Go or Agile.

Medium Irradiance

If tomorrow’s irradiance in your local area is going to be a medium level i.e., sunny, and cloudy then you can set your controller to only charge your batteries to 50% SOC (State of Charge) from the grid i.e. Octopus Go or Agile

Low Irradiance

If tomorrow’s irradiance in your local area is going to be low i.e., very Cloudy, then you can set you controller to charge your batteries to 100% SOC (State of Charge) from the grid i.e. Octopus Go or Agile.

We Will Allow You The Customer To Set Your Own Percentages So Your Always In Control.

Advanced Eps

The Lux Power LXP 3600 AC Controller has an impressive, enhanced EPS feature will switch over in 0.01s in the event of a power cut, meaning these systems can also be used with Grid Share incentive programmes – Please note the EPS is limited to 13A and cannot power your entire fuse board.

Grid Charge & Octopus Agile/Outgoing/Go Compatible

New Energy providers will now provide extremely cheap off-peak renewable electricity. The Lux Power LXP 3600 AC can be programmed to take advantage of these cheap off-peak tariffs to charge the batteries to use the energy when the tariffs are high.

Power When You Need It The Most

Our Lux Power LXP 3600 AC has three-time settings to allow you to choose when you want your batteries to discharge. All other systems on the market only allow their systems to charge & discharge to set default parameters which is no good if all your battery power is gone before you get back home from work!
