NYHET: 20% KAPACITETSÖKNING FÖR SMART LITHIUM PLUG & PLAY “ONE” BATTERI
Det Senaste Tillskottet till den 3:e Generationens Smart Lithium Plug & Play-serie
Vår senaste produktuppdatering finns nu ute i butikerna, Smart Lithium Plug & Play “ONE” Batteri med 120Ah kapacitet. Detta markerar en evolution i 3:e generationens Plug & Play-serie och erbjuder förbättrad kapacitetstäthet och prestanda. Som en del av Smart Mobile Home-ekosystemet, alltid uppkopplad i en “smart home”-lösning för fritidsbåtar och husbilar.
FÖRBÄTTRAD ENERGITÄTHET MED 20%
Det nya Plug & Play “ONE”-batteriet har en kapacitet på 120Ah för ett 12V-system, vilket representerar en 20% ökning i energitäthet jämfört med dess föregångare, allt inom samma hölje. Dess anmärkningsvärda specifikationer gör det inte bara unikt utan också det ultimata valet för de som behöver ett enda högpresterande batteri.
ENKEL OCH SÄKER UPPGRADERING
Plug & Play-serien fortsätter att vara oöverträffad när det gäller att erbjuda en problemfri övergång från traditionella batterier. Avancerad elektronik gör att användare enkelt kan byta ut sina föråldrade batterier mot det nya Plug & Play “ONE”. Dessutom är det oslagbart när det gäller säkerhet. År 2023 är det svårt att hitta ett säkrare energilagringsalternativ för din båt.
Smart Lithium-batteriet innehåller tre distinkta säkerhetsfunktioner:
1. Inert kemi: Batteriets kemi är inert, vilket innebär att det är skyddat mot farliga reaktioner som är vanliga i andra typer av litiumbaserade batterier. Det förblir säkert även under extrema händelser som punktering, krossning eller exponering för eld.
2. Säkert cellhölje: Cellhöljet i metall är konstruerat för att tåla plötsliga temperaturökningar. Dess inbyggda säkerhetsventiler släpper ut tryck vid överhettning och neutraliserar effektivt eventuella säkerhetsrisker.
3. Datorstyrt kontrollsystem: Det avancerade kontrollsystemet erbjuder ett brett spektrum av skydd och övervakar batteriets tillstånd för att hålla det säkert.
ROBUST KONSTRUKTION
Plug & Play “ONE” använder bultade cylindriska celler, vilket eliminerar behovet av lödöron, svetsning eller liknande sammanfogning som kan orsaka sämre prestanda och risk för haveri över tid. Tvärtom så säkerställer vår bultteknik robusthet och tillförlitlighet för proffesionell användning, utan att kompromissa med batteriets livslängd eller prestanda. Även om cylindriska celler tar upp något mer volym än prismatiska celler, är de nödvändiga för att uppnå både hög prestanda och lång livslängd. Vi är stolta över våra avancerade bultade cylindriska celler, vilket illustreras av den framgångsrika övergången till våra 3270 (lödöronlösa) celler redan för många år sedan. Medan andra i bilbranschen står inför utmaningar i liknande övergång från 2170 celler och ännu inte har kommit igång med lödoronfria 4680 celler.
INTEGRATION MED SMART MOBILE HOME
Smart Lithium-batterierna är integrerade i vårt Smart Mobile Home-ekosystem, som erbjuder kontinuerliga kostnadsfria uppgraderingar.
Du kan dessutom förbättra din instrumentpanel genom att enkelt installera en surfplatta på väggen och ladda ner vår kostnadsfria app, SUNBEAMsystem Multi Connect.

SUNBEAMsystem Smart Lithium Plug & Play - 3rd Generation
Mar 2023
World Premiere of the 3rd generation Smart Lithium Plug & Play
Now we launch the 3rd generation of our Plug&Play series with even higher capacity density and performance. As a part of the Smart Mobile Home family, you may benefit from never-ending high-tech advantages.
With 8% higher energy density
The new Plug & Play ONE battery features 108Ah for a 12V system. Which is 8% more capacity in the same casing with the same weight. With its astounding specifications, it is really one of a kind, but the name is meant to indicate that it is the premier choice for anyone in need of just a single battery.
The new Plug & Play Multi battery also features 108Ah @ 12V. Also available for a 24V system with the same capacity of 54Ah@24V. The Multi is optimized to be used in the domestic bank with 2 or more batteries.
Plug & Play are still unique as they offer a true and effortless upgrade from old-style batteries. Thanks to advanced electronics, anyone, anywhere may simply remove their old, outdated batteries and slip in their new plug & play batteries.
The safety level is unrivaled – in 2023 you may not find safer energy storage for your boat. This is thanks to the three independent safety aspects of a Smart Lithium battery.
Firstly, the chemistry is inert which means no run-aways can take place in other types of lithium chemistry batteries. You may punch holes, crush or put it in a fire and despite this nothing will happen.
Secondly, the cell casing which is made of metal and could potentially act badly if there was a sudden heat up (for example throw it in a bonfire) – but thanks to the security valves which will open in such case this potential problem is not existent any longer. Thirdly the computer-guided control system offers a plethora of protections keeping the battery out of harm’s way.
The Smart Lithium batteries are a part of our Smart Mobile Home with never-ending free upgrades. Don’t forget that you may upgrade your instrument panel by simply putting a tablet on the wall and downloading our free App, SUNBEAMsystem Multi Connect.
The Plug & Play remains steadfast using our advanced bolted cylindrical cells. No tabs, no welding nor soldering that causes resistance or might even come loose. The bolting ensures heavy-duty usage without affecting the life expectancy or limiting the battery. The choice of cylindrical cells uses slightly more volume compared to prismatic cells, but it is the only choice to be able to maintain high performance and long-life expectancy at the same time. We are proud of our cells and for example, you may read a lot about how Tesla is struggling in their transition from 2170 cells into the newer tab less 4680. We already took the step from the smaller cells into our 3270 (tab less) cells many years ago.
SUNBEAMsystem Smart Lithium Plug & Play
Mar 2023
Världspremiär för 3:e generationens Smart Lithium Plug&Play med 8 % högre effekttäthet.
Nu lanserar vi den 3:e generationen av vår Plug&Play-serie med ännu högre kapacitet och prestanda. Som en del av Smart Mobile Home-familjen får du fria uppdateringar och möjlighet till att montera en padda på instrumentpanelen samt dela information till hela familjens telefoner.
Med 8% högre energitäthet
Det nya Plug & Play ONE-batteriet har 108Ah för ett 12V-system. Vilket är 8% mer kapacitet i samma hölje med bibehållen vikt. ONE är för dig som bara behöver ett enda batteri.
Det nya Plug & Play Multi-batteriet med 108Ah @ 12V. Finns även för 24V system med samma kapacitet 54Ah@24V. Multi är optimerad för att användas i hushållsbanken med 2 eller fler batterier.
Plug & Play är fortfarande unika eftersom de erbjuder en enkel uppgradering från gamla batterier. Tack vare den avancerade elektroniken kan vem som helst, var som helst, enkelt ta bort sina gamla, åldrade batterier och sätta i nya plug & play-batterier.
Plug & Play fortsätter självklart med våra avancerade cylindriska celler. Inga lödöron, ingen svetsning som orsakar motstånd eller till och med kan lossna. Bultningen säkerställer tuff användning utan att påverka den förväntade livslängden.
Valet av cylindriska celler ger lite större volym för batteripacket jämfört med prismatiska celler, men det är det enda valet för att kunna bibehålla hög prestanda och lång livslängd på samma gång. Vi är stolta över våra celler och till exempel kan du läsa mycket om att Tesla kämpar med sin övergång från 2170-celler till den nyare 4680 utan lödöron. Vi har redan tagit steget från de mindre cellerna till våra 3270-celler (utan lödöron) för många år sedan.
Säkerhetsnivån är oöverträffad – Vi vet att du inte hittar ett säkrare batteri för din båt. Detta tack vare de tre oberoende säkerhetsnivåerna hos ett Smart Lithium-batteri. För det första är kemin inert vilket innebär att ingen kedjereaktion kan ske såsom i andra typer av litiumbatterier med annan kemisk sammansättning. Du kan punktera, krossa eller lägga den i en brasa och trots detta händer ingenting. För det andra, cellhöljet som är tillverkat i metall och potentiellt skulle kunna explodera vid plötslig upphettning (till exempel om den hamnar i en brasa) – men tack vare säkerhetsventilerna som kommer att öppnar I nödfall så existerar inte detta potentiella problem. För det tredje erbjuder det datorstyrda kontrollsystemet en uppsjö av skydd som säkerställer att batteriet aldrig kommer i närheten av farligheter.
De smarta litiumbatterierna är en del av vårt Smart Home lösning med kontinuerliga gratis förbättringar. Glöm inte att du kan uppgradera din instrumentpanel genom att helt enkelt sätta en surfplatta på väggen och ladda ner vår kostnadsfria app, SUNBEAMsystem Multi Connect.

SUNBEAMsystem Smart Lithium DRIVE yacht propulsion
Mar 2023
World Premiere! Smart Lithium DRIVE yacht propulsion gets a new top-of-the-line 10kWh sized battery with cylindrical cells and advanced active balancing.
The most advanced available battery pack for electrical yachts. SUNBEAMsystem DRIVE batteries are engineered for the best possible performance and lifetime.
For this size of batteries the marine industry conventionally uses prismatic cells for simplicity and cost savings. In the era of electric cars, one wouldn’t find any car with prismatic cells as it offers a shorter life expectancy when used in the upper regions of the performance envelope. This is why we launch the very unique 10kWh DRIVE battery with cylindrical cells and active balancing.
As with our high-performance Plug & Play batteries, we use our advanced tab less 3270 cells. No tabs, no welding or soldering that causes resistance. The bolting ensures heavy-duty usage without affecting the life expectancy or limiting the battery. We are proud of our cells and for example, you may read a lot about how Tesla is struggling in their transition from 2170 cells into the newer tab less 4680. We already took the step from the smaller cells into our 3270 (tab less) cells many years ago.
The ever-working active balancing is needed to control and maintain all the cells in this battery pack. Using state-of-the-art technology from the EV industry.
The safety level is unrivaled – in 2023 you may not find safer energy storage for your boat. This is thanks to the three independent safety aspects of a Smart Lithium battery. Firstly, the chemistry is inert which means no run-aways can take place in other types of lithium chemistry batteries. You may punch holes, crush or put it in a fire and despite this nothing will happen. Secondly, the cell casing which is made of metal and could potentially act badly if there was a sudden heat up (for example throwing it in a bonfire) – but thanks to the security valves which will open in such case this potential problem is not existent any longer. Thirdly the computer-guided control system offers a plethora of protections keeping the battery out of harm’s way.
The Smart Lithium batteries are a part of our Smart Mobile Home with never-ending free upgrades. Put the tablet on the instrument panel and boast it with a modern overlook of your batteries and other devices. Simply put the tablet on the wall of our free App, SUNBEAMsystem Multi Connect.
