The HinaESS Hi-5 has earned its reputation as one of South Africa's most trusted residential batteries. Its 1C* charge and discharge rate means it can absorb solar power quickly and deliver it on demand — keeping your home running during load shedding without compromise. Scale up to 50 units in parallel as your needs grow. Contact our team for inverter compatibility advice and multi-unit pricing.
E&OE. Product specifications are subject to change without notice. Please refer to the official manufacturer datasheet to confirm all specifications before purchase or installation.
*C rate refers to the charge/discharge current as a proportion of battery capacity — a 1C rate charges or discharges the full rated capacity in 1 hour. Always verify the actual C rate for your specific battery and system configuration with the battery manual or your supplier before purchase or installation.
