Looking for a home battery that’s built to last and ready for real-world use? The Franklin WH Battery offers a powerful, modular solution for households in Hobart, Bellerive and Launceston wanting to make better use of their solar energy.
With its compact all-in-one design, scalable capacity, and built-in backup features, Franklin delivers consistent performance day and night. It’s a smart match for homes that want more control over power usage — without overcomplicating the setup.
Whether you’re adding storage to an existing system or planning a full solar and battery installation, Franklin gives you the flexibility, safety and ease of use that modern Tasmanian homes are looking for.
Hobart homes face unique energy challenges — long winter nights, variable sunshine, and a rising need for reliable backup during outages. That’s why the Franklin WH Battery is well suited to Tasmanian conditions.
The system stores excess energy from your solar panels during the day and powers your home at night, when electricity prices peak. You get more out of your solar setup, while reducing reliance on the grid and avoiding poor feed-in rates.
Thanks to its all-in-one design, the Franklin battery is quick to install, easy to monitor, and ready to keep your home running during blackouts — ideal for homes in southern Tasmania looking for simplicity, safety, and consistent performance.
The Franklin WH battery is designed to handle the full energy load of a modern household. With a 13.6kWh capacity and the ability to stack multiple units together, it provides more than enough storage to run essential appliances, heating, and even larger loads like EV charging or hot water systems.
Built-in features include:
It’s a battery designed for the demands of Tasmanian living — and it’s just as comfortable in a family home in Launceston as it is in a compact energy-efficient home in Bellerive.
Franklin WH is engineered with safety, reliability, and long-term performance at its core — making it well-suited to Tasmania’s variable weather, from cold southern winters to sudden coastal storms.
Your home battery system should be ready when the grid isn’t. With Franklin, Tasmanian homeowners can count on dependable storage built for real-world conditions.

Using trusted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells, Franklin offers stable, safe performance across years of use — even in cold Hobart winters or warm Launceston summers. LFP technology is known for its thermal stability, longer cycle life, and lower risk of overheating compared to other chemistries. It’s a safer choice for families and one that holds up well in Tasmania’s diverse conditions, from coastal chill to inland heat.
The Franklin WH battery delivers 6kW of continuous power per unit — and thanks to its modular design, you can scale up your storage and power output by adding more units. Whether you're powering everyday essentials or running high-demand appliances like electric cooktops, pool pumps or EV chargers, Franklin adapts to suit your home’s needs.
With the FranklinWH app, you get real-time insights into your energy use, solar production, and battery status. It updates every few minutes, giving you full control over your household energy. You can easily switch between modes, prioritise backup reserves, and monitor savings — all from your phone or browser. It’s designed to be intuitive, so even first-time battery users in Hobart or Launceston can manage their system with confidence.
Franklin includes whole-home backup capability by default — no need for a separate backup circuit or complex configuration. If the grid goes down, your home stays powered automatically, without flickers or fuss. This seamless transition is ideal for Tasmania’s unpredictable weather and gives homeowners the confidence that essentials like fridges, lighting, and Wi-Fi will keep running during an outage.
