2.3 – ExprESS Models and Power Capacity
The PHI ExprESS is available in two models:
• ExprESS 5.8 offers 5800Wh of DC storage using two PHI 2.9/24V Lithium Ferrous Phosphate battery
modules.
• ExprESS 7.6 offers 7600Wh of DC storage using two PHI 3.8/48V Lithium Ferrous Phosphate battery
modules.
Both models use pure sine AC power inverters. Maximum AC power is limited to 2000 Watts for the
ExprESS 5.8 and 4400 watts for the ExprESS 7.6. AC output current is limited to 15 Amps, which is
sufficient to operate computers, appliances, AV equipment, power tools, fans, and electric blankets, and
other similar electrical loads. The PHI ExprESS also features redundant protection against excessive
load.
2.4 – Energy Consumption for Common Appliances
The PHI ExprESS is a mobile battery-powered generator that generates electrical power wherever and
whenever you need it.
The power required to run equipment in everyday situations varies with the electrical device. Appliances
such as microwaves, irons, toaster ovens, and hair dryers require high current at relatively low volumes
over time. By contrast, appliances such as televisions, computers, fans, and refrigerators use lower
current for extended periods, using generally higher volumes over time.
The following tables show examples of energy consumption by common high-current and low-current
devices.
