PowerBox with absorbent glass matting

Producing power is only one half of the equation and storing that power is the other. As well as storing power to be used, the battery bank is also the “reserve”. In many parts of the world, there will be days where there is neither much sun or wind. On these days, we must rely on the reserve power to keep equipment running.

PowerBox is fitted with a bank of industrial grade deep-cycle AGM (Absorbent Glass Matting) batteries that are designed to give many years service, even when they are heavily used. AGM batteries do not contain any free-liquid electrolyte so they are much more suited to the rigours of transport.

As standard, PowerBox is fitted with six 120Ah batteries, storing a total of 8.64kWh of energy. For greater storage, you also have the option of “daisy-chaining” PowerBoxes Together.
Never use a standard car battery, as they are not designed to be discharged more than a few percent – doing so will destroy the battery very quickly. Many deep cycle batteries are also called ‘leisure batteries’ they are not designed for heavy use, ie professional grade systems.

Remote control & monitoring, the full specification PowerBox is fitted with the innovative Victron Venus GX, which provides full control over the system. When connected to the internet via the built-in Ethernet port, or via the optional WiFi receiver or 3G/4G router, live data is transmitted to Victron’s proprietary VRM Portal.
Logging in to the VRM Portal from your laptop or the mobile app, means that you can see exactly how your PowerBox is performing (live and historical), receive alarm signals by email and even change system settings remotely.
