Absolutely. Our batteries support multiple charging methods:
• Standard mains
• High-power dedicated inputs (e.g., 30 A for Swift and Emperor)
• EV fast-charging
• Solar array integration (Emperor supports up to 15 kW solar)
-
Eco-Friendly battery generators offer the following advantages over traditional petrol or diesel:
• Run on stored electricity (often from the grid or solar panels).
• No need to buy or store fuel.
• Can be recharged with renewable energy.
• Silent operation, no exhaust gases, no smell.
• Almost no moving parts, minimal maintenance.
• Higher upfront cost per watt, but lower ongoing maintenance & fuel costs (especially if charged with solar).
-
The reality is that new battery generators will last as long as traditional diesel or petrol generators. The Swift battery generator for instance is rated for 8,000 charging cycles which translate to 22 years if charged everyday for 22 years. A typical diesel generator can last 20-25 years with regular maintenance, few however in practice will last this long.
