HYXi Halo plug-in battery

The HYXi Halo plug-in battery stores your own solar power until you need it. This is because your solar panels generate plenty of power during the day, whilst the sun has just set by the time you get home and switch on the oven, washing machine and lights.

You currently feed that electricity back into the grid for a tariff that is falling every year, and on 1 January 2027, the net metering scheme will be phased out completely. With 3 kWh of storage, you can simply use it yourself in the evening. You can connect the battery yourself, without an installer, and expand it later to 18 kWh as your consumption grows.

You can connect the HYXi Halo plug-in battery yourself

A standard home battery usually involves getting a quote, hiring an installer and often waiting for months. With the HYXi Halo, you simply place it where you want, plug it into a earthed socket and connect it to your Wi-Fi via the app. No modifications to the meter cupboard, no installation costs, no waiting list.

That also makes the Halo a viable option if you don’t own your home. Are you a tenant, do you live in a flat, or are you planning to move in a few years’ time? You can simply take the battery with you.

800 or 3,000 watts: it depends on your connection

You decide how much power the Halo can supply to your home by how you connect it. There are two options:

You can easily start with a single socket and have a dedicated circuit fitted later on. Nothing changes with the battery itself.

From 3 to 18 kWh: you set the pace

The HYXi Halo is modular. You start with the 3 kWh base module and stack up to five expansion modules on top of it, up to a total of 18 kWh. You simply click each module into place; the battery recognises the new capacity automatically.

This means you don’t have to guess in advance how much storage you’ll need. If you get a heat pump, an electric car or simply more solar panels later on, the battery scales up with you, without you having to reinvest in a whole new system.

Smart charging based on weather and tariff

The HYXi Halo doesn’t just charge whenever there’s surplus electricity. The system looks ahead at the weather forecast and your energy tariffs, and uses this information to determine when charging and discharging will be most cost-effective.

Do you have a dynamic energy contract? Then this becomes particularly beneficial, even without solar panels: the battery charges during the cheaper night-time hours and supplies your home with power during the expensive evening peak. Via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you can monitor what’s happening in real time via the app and make adjustments. The battery is also suitable for connection to a virtual power plant (VPP), whereby your storage capacity helps to balance the grid.

Metering with the HYXi Halo plug-in battery: P1 as standard, 3-phase option available

The box containing the main unit always includes a P1 meter. You connect this to the P1 port on your smart meter, allowing the Halo to know exactly how much your home is currently consuming and generating. No modifications to the meter cupboard, no need for an installer.

Would you prefer to measure using current clamps, or do you have a three-phase connection? In that case, two energy meters can be ordered separately:

This makes the Halo one of the few plug-in batteries that also works on a three-phase connection. Handy if you have a heat pump, a charging point or a higher-capacity connection. Please note, however, that both meters need to be installed in the meter cupboard. This is a modification that must be carried out by an installer; the battery itself remains plug-and-play.

Emergency power during a power cut

If the power goes out, the HYXi Halo plug-in battery will continue to work. The main unit has a separate socket that provides emergency power at such times, with a capacity of up to 3,000 W. You can connect your fridge, modem, central heating boiler or an extension lead with lights to this, for example.

Important to note: this refers to that single socket on the battery itself. It is therefore not possible to power your entire home during a power cut. For that, you’ll need a fixed home battery with a transfer switch.

Indoors and outdoors, from −20 °C to +55 °C

The HYXi Halo has an IP66 protection rating: dust-tight and resistant to powerful water jets. So you can place it just as easily in the shed, garage or utility room as on the balcony, terrace or against the façade.

The operating temperature range is from −20 °C to +55 °C, so a Dutch winter’s night or a heatwave is no problem. Measuring 46.0 × 28.1 × 27.9 cm and weighing 28 kg per module, the battery remains compact enough to fit in a corner of the balcony.

Safety: LiFePO4 and an automatic fire suppression system

The Halo uses LiFePO4 cells (lithium iron phosphate). This chemistry is more thermally stable than the NMC cells found in many older home batteries, and lasts considerably longer. On top of that, there is an automatic fire-suppression mechanism built into the housing.

The cells are rated for over 10,000 charge cycles. At one full cycle per day, that works out to well over twenty years. HYXi offers a 10-year warranty on the battery.
