Exide releases mobile 200 kWh, 400 kWh storage solutions

France-headquartered Exide Technologies has announced a new energy storage solution designed for transport. Dubbed the Solution Powerbooster Mobile, the system has storage capacities of either 200 kWh or 400 kWh. It uses two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries of 100 Ah in the first configuration and four in the second.

“Equipped with a single 180 kW or 2 x 90 kW chargers, and multiple 3-phase sockets, it delivers high efficiency and large capacity, making it ideal for emergency charging and high-demand situations. Its compact yet sturdy design caters to a wide range of needs,” the company said in a statement. “It is built with versatility in mind – ideal for various off-grid use cases such as events, construction sites, or outdoor EV charging.”

The system’s batteries are liquid-cooled, while its converters are cool with forced air. The company claims maximum efficiency of at least 95% and noise levels of up to 67 dB. The system is also scalable, and up to three units could be connected in parallel. The 200 kWh system comes at a width of 2.3 meters, a depth of 1.45 meters, a height of 1.65 meters, and a weight of 2,250 kg. The 400 kWh comes at 2.3 meters, 1.5 meters, 1.9 meters, and 3,950 kg, respectively.

“The Solution Powerbooster Mobile is a flexible, reliable, and zero-emission energy solution that caters to the specific needs of flexible energy supply on-demand,” said Serge Arbes, Exide Technologies Senior Business Director Global, Energy Solutions. “Whether it’s charging electric vehicles, providing emergency roadside assistance, or powering events and construction sites, this product ensures they’ll have the power they need on-demand.”
