No and no.

The Devil is in the details, right?

I’m pretty certain a single 330 Ah AGM battery wont run an A/C more than 2 hours at most, even a high efficiency small roof-top one. An hour is probably more like it.

And video suggest owners can add solar, so it probably comes with no solar or very little capacity from factory. Not much data yet.


For those who normally camp in cooler weather and don’t need A/C it makes some sense. Also for those like us who mainly stay in campgrounds and rarely ever use a generator other than to power microwave or coffee maker a few minutes at a time during the day.

I suppose those who boondock in remote areas could use a portable inverter generator to power A/C if it’s hot.

If battery can power A/C for an hour-plus, that would be enough to leave a pet inside RV while grocery shopping or eating out. That’s about the only time we ran our generator on Class C we had years ago.

It’s just a start, and a much cheaper option to Volta lithium system.
