ZBM 2 in Mosselbay
The benefits of Redflow ZBMs compared to other batteries
- Delivers 100 percent cycle depth of discharge without any risk of battery damage
- Retains its full 10 kWh of storage capacity for its warranted 10-year life, unlike other battery types which lose significant storage capacity with age
- Requires no reserved capacity, unlike other battery types that must reserve a portion of their storage capacity to avoid damage to their battery
- Has a bromide-based electrolyte which is a natural fire retardant additionally mechanical damage does not risk explosion or ‘thermal runaway’
- Operates at temperatures as hot as 50°C without active cooling
- Offers unlimited shelf life: You can switch off a ZBM at any state of charge (SOC), hibernate it for extended periods of time, and then restore it within 60 seconds
- Has a great recycling story, made with major components that are easy to recycle or reuse
- Is a modular system, it is straightforward to connect multiple ZBMs to deliver more energy storage for larger energy storage requirement. As there is no degradation over time, batteries can be added on at any stage
- The Reflow ZBM is a great battery choice for either AC or DC power, on-grid or off-grid storage energy systems, or a bit of both
- 24/7 battery management allows you to use an easy web-based browser via smartphone or PC to set up, monitor, and control your ZBM
- It also reports battery status and operational information that lets your AC inverter/charger optimize the use of the energy stored in your ZBM
