Exide Technologies has launched a new version of its Solition Powerbooster battery energy storage system aimed at commercial and industrial users facing grid constraints, rising peak-demand charges and growing EV charging requirements.
The new Solition Powerbooster 2.0 is based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology and offers 62kWh of storage capacity in a modular format that can be scaled by connecting multiple units in parallel. The system is designed for both indoor and outdoor installation.
According to the company, the system is intended to support applications including peak shaving, EV fleet charging, intralogistics operations and grid-independent power supply. Exide said the Powerbooster can also operate alongside photovoltaic systems, fuel cells and diesel generators to provide peak-power support through energy shifting.
The company said the new system has been developed to address increasing pressure on local electricity networks and to help operators avoid exceeding contractual grid limits. Exide added that the compact footprint and modular architecture are intended to make the system suitable for logistics centres, industrial facilities and commercial sites where available space is limited.
Solition: modular design LFP storage with energy management capabilities
Serge Arbes, senior business director global, energy solutions at Exide Technologies, said: “This new generation of the Solition Powerbooster marks a significant step in supporting our customers’ transition toward safer, smarter, and more flexible energy solutions. With its modular design, advanced LFP technology, and intelligent energy management capabilities, it gives businesses a reliable way to stabilize their power supply, integrate renewable energy, and overcome grid limitations.”
The launch forms part of Exide’s wider expansion in lithium-ion energy storage and energy management systems. Over the past year the company has also introduced the Solition Mega Five 5MWh BESS platform for utility-scale and commercial projects, while expanding its presence in intralogistics, automated guided vehicle (AGV) and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) applications following the integration of BE-Power GmbH.
