DCX IN DETAIL !

WHAT CAN IT DO ?

Let ’ s start with the basics . Most standard lead-acid and lithium batteries offer 100Ah to 200Ah of power capacity . Taking into account the actual usable energy , a 100Ah 12V AGM battery is equal to 0.64kWh while a 100Ah 12V lithium battery is approximately 1.15kWh of usable energy . The DCX system is available in two sizes : 14.3kWh or 7.1kWh of usable energy – the difference between DCX and a standard battery is so large that it almost defies comparison .

So what ? you might ask . Well , let ’ s run through just some of the applications of a battery with such massive stored power . First ,

whether you ’ re running the 14.3kWh or 7.1kWh system , you could ditch the gas cylinders . Electric induction cooktops and grillers are available for caravans and this system , through its builtin inverter , will have no problem powering them . It ’ ll simultaneously run the fridge and hot water service , too .

With all those appliances running , there ’ ll still be enough juice to power the air-conditioner , a kettle , toaster … essentially , DCX is about true ‘ off-grid ’ living , minus the noise of a generator , the need for diesel to fuel the heater , etc . OzXCorp has designed this battery specifically for use in caravans and the benefits appear almost limitless .
