Runhood, based mostly in California, is a brand new entrant within the off-grid and moveable solar-plus-battery market.

What makes the Runhood providing distinctive is its design constructed round exterior swappable batteries. The batteries could be linked to an influence financial institution, or eliminated to function independently, charging and discharging utilizing a USB or AC adapter. This design gives extra flexibility for off-grid adventures and reduces the load of carrying a heavy battery financial institution.

Exterior batteries could be straight linked to the moveable photo voltaic array, which means that one modular battery could be charged whereas the others stay within the energy financial institution, supplying electrical energy to numerous off grid home equipment and units. Runhood says as much as 9 units can be utilized without delay with its equipment.

The corporate presently gives a 600 W energy financial institution choice with two battery slots and says it has plans for a bigger four-slot 1200 W design sooner or later. The 600 W equipment supplies 1,295 Wh capability in 4 battery modules and is rated at 110 V. When the modular battery models are individually linked to the AC connector, it acts as a mini 80 W / 324 Wh moveable energy station.

Additionally included within the equipment is a foldable mini photo voltaic array with a max energy of 100 W. The system carries 18 V, 5.5 A working present, and is IPX6 rated for water resistance. The panel can cost the financial institution alone or paired with a second panel for added capability.
