Power Output
Continuous power is a measurement, expressed in kW, of a battery's potential to release a sustained energy for a given period. Peak power is a measurement, expressed in kW, of a potential maximum power output in short bursts.
The Franklin aPower X provides 10 kW of peak power and 5kW of continuous power, well within the range of solar industry standards.
Round-Trip Efficiency
The Franklin aPower X has a roundtrip efficiency rating of 89%.
In order for a battery to function, a small amount of electric power is required for its operation. The total amount of charge that comes out of a battery subtracted from the amount of charge that went into the battery is expressed as a percentage ('%'). This is called Round-trip Efficiency.
The Franklin Power X has a rating of 89% round-trip efficiency, 9% above average.
The Franklin aPower X Dimensions are 31.5” x 21.7” x 6.3”
