What are Expansion Batteries for Stations?
Expansion batteries are external modules that increase the available energy of a compatible station, while maintaining control by the manufacturer's firmware and BMS. They allow you to go from occasional use to full workdays without sacrificing mobility.
Advantages and limitations
- Scalability by modules: add capacity when you need it.
- Secure connection with automatic detection and balancing.
- Limitations: require a compatible station model; increase weight and total charging time.
Applications
- Extended backup at home (router, lighting, compact fridge).
- Events, filming, and multi-day camping.
- Marine and camper vans with continuous consumption.
How to choose
- Check compatibility with your station and the required cable/connector.
- Size additional Wh according to the desired hours of autonomy.
- Keep the solar charging option to reduce recharge times.
