- Hi guys, Andrew here from Accelerate
and Shaun from Invicta.
So today we are here to talk about
a super cool new hybrid batter, that's come out.
There's two in the range, we will go through the differences
and what this battery is all about,
is if you're a weekend warrior or something like that,
you want a dual battery system,
you've got a vehicle like this, whereas quite challenging
to fit a second battery in it, then we've got the solution
for you, Hybrid Invicta battery.
So, basically how it works quickly.
I'm gonna absolutely make a mess of this,
'cause we got Mr. Techo Shaun here,
but basically how it works is we've got up to 70%?
- 85% usable.
- 85% usable battery in here as a deep cycle battery.
And then once we get to that point, hit the button,
start the car, charges up fully while you're driving.
That's about as much as I'm gonna talk about,
because I will talk into fitment
and what we need extra afterwards,
but we'll talk about it with Shaun.
Okay Shaun, so basically we can just stick this straight in.
- Absolutely Andrew, so obviously there's been
a bit of a gap in the market for quite some time
with an underbody lithium battery
charging straight off the alternator.
We've been working on this one for over two years now,
just trying to get it, we'll say perfected.
We've had to change some cell designs, some paste mixtures,
a lot of technical mumbo jumbo internally, but we're...
We've been testing this one in real applications
for about six months now,
and it is performing absolutely brilliantly.
So yeah, we're happy to pull the trigger
and get these out on the market.
As Andrew said, it's 85% usable, so you can not discharge it
until at the point where it turns off,
push your button and start your car.
It means if you do go for a little bit too long
and spend a little bit too much time out there...
Out on the beach or wherever you're at, you're out...
You're not gonna get stuck there,
which is obviously a great peace of mind.
- So just to confirm, drop it straight in, no DC-DC charger.
- A 100%, so the battery management system,
the cell design, all of that has been adjusted
to take an alternator charge, be a lot more flexible
in what it will and won't accept.
- Yep, so just take it out, drop it in, start the car,
away we go and then just run some wires down the back
or wherever for a cigarette socket or whatever,
plug your fridge in and that's it.
- Perfect. - (indistinct) system.
- Exactly what I've done here.
So this is my personal vehicle.
I do day trips to the beach with the family.
Occasionally we might do an overnight.
I run the fridge for the night.
Didn't have a whole lot of space for a dual battery system
without chopping and hacking into panels and what not.
So yeah, for that kind of application,
this is absolutely easy.
Took the start battery out whacked that battery in
run some wires to the back and hey presto,
dual batteries.
- So I like that would be Colorado's, MUX's, D-Max's,
the Amarok's, Rangers--
- Absolutely, a lot of your seven seater SUV styles as well.
Your Pajero Sports, MUX's, Everest's all that sort of stuff
where you don't have a lot of space.
You don't wanna waste your seven seats in the back.
Just whack it all under the bonnet, away you go.
- And obviously 79s.
All right, so that covers that warranty?
- Three-year full replacement warranty.
We will be reassessing that as time goes on
'cause obviously new product,
the one test we can't fake is time,
but yeah, we will keep an eye on that.
And if they're performing very well,
which we have no doubt they will.
We'll, sort of adjust that as required.
- Yep, no problem stock?
We've got stock.
- Stocks in the country, as we see it right now.
Ready to go.
- So it's always the thing at the moment.
Big question-- - With international shipping.
It's always fun. - Yep, no problem.
What else have I got to ask?
Obviously, extremely light.
Like I know I'm massive, but how much this one?
- 10.8 Kilos for the N70Z case size.
- And then the max? - Same weight.
- So let's talk vehicles before we get to techo.
So obviously this is really gonna suit the things like
Pajaro's, MUX's, Colorado's, RAV4, Ranges,
ones that don't lean themselves
to an under bonnet dual battery very well.
And was always an issue.
So, yeah, how many sizes we got?
- So we start with the N70 for the four-wheel drive market.
We do have a larger size,
but it doesn't fit a lot under the bonnet.
It's more aimed at the marine market.
The N70, we have two options in this.
We have the standard, which is 1200 CCA, 200 amp,
continuous current draw till flat.
It's got 80 amp power, but we also have the max.
Now the cool thing about the max,
this thing is absolutely revolutionary.
So you can actually turn your vehicle off
and on your winch at and it'll handle it.
It's a 1400 CCA, 80 amp power as well.
But yeah, that ability to run a winch off a single battery
with no alternator assistance is absolutely,
as I said, revolutionary.
It's got to run twin BMSes to do it.
It's a hell of a lot of engineering,
but we're really proud with that based.
We also do the NS70 or your 10 inch case and
an LN3 or a DIN66H and that'll fit all your Euro styles
like your Hiluxes, Colorado's, BT-50s,
that sort of stuff.
We will expand that range as required,
but this is our starting point.
- Yes, that's sensational.
All right, so basically you pull up camping,
you got 68 usable amps on your fridge
just to run your fridge flat out.
You can have your accessories on and be running your stereo,
all that kind of stuff.
Battery then switches off, no damage to the battery,
it just happily turns off push button, car starts, drive,
and with the average car with all the big alternators now
that's gonna be fully recharged again in an hour.
- Well, I charged that one from 88% to a 100%
in about five and a half minutes when I first put it in.
- So, - Yeah.
- So, that's pretty quick.
- I hate to use the term game-changer,
especially driving that, game-changing battery.
Thanks for coming in Shaun.
- thanks for having me.
- No worries.
