Xantrex PowerHub 1800

The Xantrex PowerHub is designed with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. The PowerHub is an inverter/battery charger combination with an attached battery box for two 100 amp-hour 12-volt batteries. One or two battery boxes can be attached to the PowerHub.

The PowerHub with two fully charged 100 Ah batteries can deliver up 950 watt hours of electricity to run small appliances in a weekend cabin or during a power failure. The PowerHub allows batteries to be recharged with a small wind generator and/or PV systems, with a gas generator or with utility power. It does not have a built-in charge controller for PV modules but it has two DC charging inputs, one at 32 amps maximum, labeled PV and one at 80 amps labeled wind. Both could be used for PV with the addition of a charge controller.

The 80-amp input is suitable for an AirX wind turbine which has a built-in regulator.  When AC power is available from a generator or utility grid, the PowerHub will function as an automatic backup power unit. It will sit in bypass mode and will pass the power through to support the loads and/or the battery charger. When AC power is connected to the unit, input from wind or solar will not be used for powering the loads. When the AC input fails, the PowerHub’s automatic transfer relay de-energizes and will switch the unit to inverter mode within 40 milliseconds.

Once AC input is restored, after a 20-second delay the relay energizes and qualifies the AC input and the load is automatically reconnected to the primary AC source.

When no AC power is available from a generator or utility grid, the inverter draws power from the battery bank and delivers a modified-sine wave AC output voltage. This output voltage can be accessed by using the four outlets on the front of the unit or by hard wiring the unit to the AC distribution panel which provides AC power to AC outlets at the site.

The inverter control panel provides a user interface for monitoring power levels, battery levels, and controlling the inverter functions and displays. Four 120VAC outlets on the front panel provide up to 1440W (continuous) output power. One 15 A supplemental protector provides over-load protection to the four AC outlets on the front panel.

1 year warranty.

Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

NiMH batteries have up to twice the power of Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries, can be recharged or topped off anytime, and don’t have the memory effect. Their only drawback is all NiMH self discharge about half their energy in two months without use. They are best used in devices that use up batteries quickly, like digital cameras, portable entertainment devices and flashlights in constant use.

They can be recharged about 500 times and last for years. Unlike Nickel-Cadmium batteries,

Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries do not contain toxic substances.

QuickCharger

The QuickCharger sets a new standard in battery charger’s for today’s ultra-high capacity NiMH and NiCad batteries. Ordinary charger’s aren’t able to charge NiMH and NiCads to their full capacity, and often generate heat while charging that shortens the life of the battery. The QuickCharger’s sophisticated internal computer charges your batteries quickly without overheating. NiCad batteries can be automatically discharged prior to charging to improve capacity and life. The computer also uses a trickle charge on fully charged batteries so the batteries can sit in the charger until you need them.

It can recharge up to four D, C, AA, AAA batteries, analyze batteries for their charge and capacity, and rejects damaged batteries. Negative pulse charging and Intelligent Discharge System (IDS) prevents memory effect and overcharging. Soft Start function prevents overheating of battery, helping extend battery life.

The QuickCharger can fully charge 2 AA Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in about 2-1/2 hours.

This charger is powered by 120 VAC through a wall transformer (included) with a 12VDC output and can easily be adapted to operate from 12VDC.

Soltronix™ Headphone Radio

The Soltronix™ Headphone Radio is a solar recharging AM/FM headphone radio with superb sound. The solar module allows it to operate on just solar power in as little as thirty percent of full sunlight. Additional power generated goes to charging the battery while the headphones are still operating! When the headphones are off all power generated by the module goes to charging the included NiMH battery. One hour of charging in bright sunlight in a windowsill gives 1-2 hours of playtime, and a fully charged battery provides over 18 hours of playtime. The user benefits both from the savings and convenience of not having to change batteries.

If you don’t have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adapters for common cell phones and other devices. We also offer a full range of optional adapters.

Embedded in the outside of all bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. included with each bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it – not just when the sun is up. The battery pack can also be charged using an AC travel charger or car charger (both included). This makes the Voltaic bags just as useful on the grid as off.
