Hyderabad-based startup Xbattery has launched a 5 kWh scalable energy storage system (ESS) for homes and small offices. The lithium iron phosphate (LFP)-based system, named XB-5K, is built on the company’s in-house BharatBMS high-voltage battery management system architecture. The company said users can scale capacity up to 15 kWh by adding additional battery units.
Xbattery said the 5 kWh system weighs 37 kg and is designed to switch instantly between grid and backup modes. It provides backup power for household appliances and office equipment, including air conditioners, and integrates data analytics and remote diagnostics features.
BharatBMS enables features like intelligent AI- and ML-enabled modes for pre-emptive outage response, real-time state-of-charge monitoring to prevent overcharging, adaptive cell balancing, and advanced thermal management.
Satish Reddy, Cofounder & CEO of Xbattery, said, “Power outages still affect India’s growing economic productivity. An indigenously developed and affordable energy storage ecosystem is a necessity for the sustainable development of India. We’re building the complete value chain from the ground up inspired by the simplicity of plugging a phone into a powerbank.”
“We’ve built from the ground up focused on real-time analytics, remote diagnostics, and automatic upgrades, exceeding global benchmarks. The in-house architecture adapts seamlessly to a host of diverse energy needs, from homes to EVs and offices to factories,” added Sonu Mishra, Cofounder and CTO, Xbattery.
