The NV14 was once again recognized for its high capacity of 14.4 kilowatt-hours
The US battery manufacturer entered the stationary storage business with a new product for residential customers. The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is compatible with new or existing PV systems.
US alkaline battery Duracell, a unit of US holding company Berkshire Hathaway, has entered the stationary storage market with a new product for residential customers – the Duracell Power Center product line.
The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is compatible with new or existing PV systems and any inverter brand, the manufacturer said.
The device has a power rating of 5 kW and a storage capacity of 14 kWh. It also features a voltage range from 44.5 to 53.5 V and a maximum charge and discharge current of 74.0 A. The roundtrip efficiency is indicated at over 85.7% and its performance is guaranteed for over 6,000 cycles.
“The Duracell Power Center product line will consist of 5 kW and 10 kW inverter outputs with batteries expandable from 14 kWh to 84 kWh,” the manufacturer explained. “The Power Center''s unique bi-directional inverter technology allows new and existing residential solar owners to store excess solar power for use in the evening, maximizing their solar investment, while increasing energy security and independence, all without additional hardware.”
The new product is now available for sale in North America and the Caribbean markets. ” The Duracell brand brings along a history of quality and reliability which consumers have trusted over many decades,” said Roberto Mendez, President of Duracell North America. “We are proud to work with our licensee partner to bring this important offering to the market.”

Well known alkaline battery producer Duracell is launching a residential energy storage solution through California-based distributor Power Center+. Power Center also distributes the Eguana line of energy storage systems.
The Duracell Power Center product line will consist of 5-kW and 10-kW inverter outputs with lithium-iron phosphate batteries expandable from 14 kWh to 84 kWh. The Power Center’s AC-coupling setup allows new and existing residential solar owners to store excess solar power for use in the evening, maximizing their solar investment, while increasing energy security and independence, all without additional hardware. In addition, Power Center offers the flexibility of remote software upgrades to meet ever changing power regulatory standards.
“Duracell sees tremendous opportunity to create effective green power management solutions for the home. Ultimately allowing the consumer to manage, store, and control all aspects of power within their home. The Duracell brand brings along a history of quality and reliability which consumers have trusted over many decades,” stated Roberto Mendez, President of Duracell North America. “We are proud to work with our licensee partner to bring this important offering to the market.”
“Our Home Energy Storage solutions provide the entrée for expansion into a full product ecosystem as we march toward complete residential power management. We are very excited to be at the forefront of technology development and deployment,” stated Aakar Patel, President of Power Center+.
The Power Center’s support grid-connected solar self-consumption, time of use (TOU) rate shifting and provide home backup power. These systems are now available in North America and the Caribbean markets, with certification standards matching UL 1741, UL 9540, California’s Rule 21, and Hawaii’s Rule 14H.
News item from Duracell
Duracell partner with Omega, which license the the technologies from Eguana, a Canadian company. Based on the Eguanas Twitter account, the company currently is using the battery from Pylontech, a subsidary of ZTE. But it is also working along side with 24M, a Boston based company, and Freyr on the semisolid battery.
Eguana is also likely to be grid ready, I believe. The company partners with E-gear in Hawaii to participate in the virtual power plant program.
The Evovle is the system the Hawaiian Emergency Demand Response Program, now refrenced as the Battery Bonus program (also a separate vpp with a similar name which is confusing people) As of the progress meeting of Hawaiian Electric it was revealed that Teslas system had not yet been able to meet the program system requirements (for immediate dispatch I believe). The idividual who reported that thought they might be able to have it ready by the end of October, but no announcement has yet been made. Eguana shipped products for the program soon after it was announced in July 2021. Tesla’s powerwalls are eligible for the other vpp program.
LFP is the way to go for home solar storage.Less expensive and more robust then Li.Every home should have them wether they have solar or not.Hope the price is right.
