* True Amplifier Rating is the expected power support at 80% amplifier efficiency — what your system actually sees.
** Cell Power Rating is the raw power pulled from the battery before amplifier efficiency is applied. Projected from cell-level testing (5,280A continuous at 24C, 8,800A pulse at 40C) and confirmed on the production pack.

Charging windows & pairing.

Every pack has a voltage window it lives in. This chart is zoomed to the THE DON NMC so you can see at a glance what it shares a bank with — and where to set your charging system when it does.

How pairing works

Read the chart. Red is where this pack is outside its own window. Another chemistry can share the bank only where its bar crosses the clear area — the yellow band — and the charging system must sit inside it. Set it at the white marker, the top of the band: at the bottom of the band the pack with the higher floor is undercharged and never reaches rated output; above the top the pack with the lower ceiling is past its hard limit.

Sodium ion is the only chemistry that mixes. Lithium chemistries (LTO, LiFePO4, NMC) are never banked together — that is unsafe, and we do not support it.

On any bank: matched cable lengths so the packs share evenly, and bring every pack to a similar state of charge before connecting.

Sizing

How to size a battery bank

Amp-hours tell you how long, C-rate tells you how hard. The full calculation worked with real numbers.

Chemistry

Sodium vs LTO vs LiFePO4

Your charging voltage decides your chemistry. An honest comparison, including when the cheaper one wins.

Diagnostics

Why voltage drops on the hit

Five checks before you buy another battery. Most of the time the pack is innocent.
