Questions worth answering straight.

A genuine EV battery pack — usually Model Y or Model 3 — safely retired from the road. These packs still have years of high-performance storage left. Instead of heading to recycling, they get a calmer life powering your property.

Big. Most packs are around 60–80 kWh — several times the capacity of a typical home wall battery. Enough to run a whole property for days, charge an EV overnight, or keep a small business alive through a blackout.

Every battery is individually tested, comes with a full health report, retains its original factory Battery Management System, and is assessed for physical and electrical integrity. You see the exact state of what you're adopting — no guesswork.

Depends on your local distributor. We're approved by Energex (Brisbane and SE Queensland) for grid-tied installations that include exporting, and we supply the documentation for the connection application.

We work with a trusted network of accredited independent electricians who specialise in solar and battery installations and know our kit well. If you don't already have someone, we'll connect you — from inverter upgrade to AS/NZS 5139 compliance.

Under AS/NZS 5139, our batteries are classified at the higher of two fire hazard levels. For a domestic installation they must go in a detached, non-habitable building — a separate shed, garage or outbuilding — or in a purpose-built structure such as our containerised system. Attached garages, carports, alcoves and anything under the house roofline are ruled out, even if open on one side. The battery must also be kept clear of exits, windows and vents serving living areas, appliances, and flammable or hazardous substances. No suitable shed? Our containerised system is designed for exactly that situation.

Depends on your setup. If you already have a hybrid-compatible inverter, you're halfway there. If not, we can recommend an inverter upgrade (like a Fronius GEN24) that integrates cleanly.

Absolutely. Many adopters use our batteries to achieve full or near-off-grid living, especially in rural and semi-rural blocks. Going all the way depends on your solar size, backup loads and daily habits.

Not at the moment — our batteries aren't on the CEC-approved list because they're second-life. Even without a rebate, our systems usually deliver more storage at a lower total cost than new retail batteries.

Yes. Dual-battery setups are possible and we're refining the best way to integrate multiple packs safely and efficiently. If you've got serious storage needs — multiple EVs, a farm — let's talk.

Because these packs still have a lot to give. You're not just buying hardware — you're rescuing premium kit and giving it a calm, productive retirement powering a Queensland property.
