FAQs

How easy is it to install?

The Energy Hub makes use of coloured Anderson ports to ensure your install is a breeze.

Simply use the blue Anderson port to connect your Hub to your vehicles starter battery.
The red Anderson provided is to connect your Hub up to the pure sinewave AC inverter or Kinergier Mobile Inverter-Charger.
The remaining grey Anderson is used to connect your C13 module or auxiliary DC distribution board.
All that's left is to plug in your MEH remote display and you're all set.

All these cables, crimps and connectors are included with every single Energy Hub.

What size inverter do I need?

The size of your inverter is dependent on the combined power (wattage) of all the loads you wish to use simultaneously.

If you wish to run a 1000W microwave, a 600W tool charger and 3 lights at 30W each, then your loads would have a combined power draw of around 1,690W max.

For this we would then recommend an inverter of 2000W (IH-2000L), and if you had the need for shore-line recharging, we would instead recommend the 2000W Inverter-charger with automatic AC-change over. (Kinergier Mobile CM2.0L)

How much does it cost?

Because each system is tailored to your specific AC power needs, so is the cost.
A system capable of delivering up to 2,000W with an Inverter-Charger will be slightly more expensive than a system capable of delivering 700W through a standard AC Power Inverter.

We aim to provide systems that work exactly to your needs, and only include the features that matter to you. For a quote, or to discuss your technical specification, please contact our expert team directly.

What can it run?

For DC loads the Energy hub comes with the C13 module for quick and easy DC distribution, as well as a dedicated 80A output for high-current loads like water boilers.

For everything else 230V, we supply a pure sinewave AC power inverter that is scaled directly to your needs.

If you want to power a 400W tool charger, we'll supply a 700W inverter.
If you need to run a microwave we'll supply a 1500W inverter.

So let us know the devices you'd like to run, and we'll be sure to provide the solution to power them.

What happens if I don't turn it on or off?

The MEH controller will turn your entire Hub on or off to allow the use of AC or DC power output. When the MEH is in the off position, the Energy Hub will enter "Charger Only Mode"

This allows you to fully recharge your hub from multiple charging sources, without enabling power to your loads. While in "Charger Only Mode" the hub will automatically switch off once it reaches 100% state of charge (SOC), or if it detects that there are no charging sources connected.

When you turn on the MEH you also turn on the AC power inverter and DC distribution board. So when you are done running your loads, simply remember to switch off the MEH.

Can I add solar?

Solar is quick and easy to add, all you need is the appropriate solar charge controller for the job.

For the Energy Hub we have either a 20A or 40A controller, both complete with coms integration so you'll be able to monitor your solar harvesting this through our mobile app or TBB fleet web platform.

When using Solar with the energy hub, our sophisticated charging algorithm ensures that you'll always be capturing 100% of harvestable solar energy before topping up from additional charging sources like your alternator or shoreline.

The TBB SolarMate series can receive a solar input of up to 95V, meaning you have the ability to use a medium scale solar array if you wanted.

When used with the Energy Hub, the SolarMate SP100-20 can be used with an array of up to 294W while the SolarMate SP100-40 can handle an array of up to 588W.

What is the warranty on the Energy Hub

Will you provide remote monitoring?

Remote monitoring is available through the TBB Fleet web app that will be available to the public later this year with both free and premium versions.

To access this you'll need to have the optional 4G datastick module that can easily be added to any existing Energy Hub system once fully released.

We are currently in the final stages of testing with the 4G Data stick, but aim on making this, as well as TBB fleet, available in early Q4 2022.

Can I program the Energy Hub?

Through the Energy Hub App and dry contact relays allow you to program your hub to operate exactly how you wish.

The Energy Hub has 3 programmable dry contact relay outputs:

To send engine start signal at programmable battery SOC
To turn inverter on and off depending on battery SOC (programmable connect and reconnect %)
To turn DC loads on and off depending on battery SOC (programmable connect and reconnect %) – used in conjunction with 6R relay or C13 DC distribution unit (dry contact compatible)

This means you'll have control to start or stop your AC or DC loads based on the battery state of charge, as well as having the option to set getting custom alerts for added security.

Each Energy Hub can also be given its unique name/identifier making programming easy in a production/shop floor environment.

How fast can the system be recharged?

From a completely depleted battery, your Energy Hub will fully recharge to 100% in just 2 hours of driving.

With a solar array of 480W and good sunshine, you can lower this time to just 70 minutes by providing the hub with a Dual charge from both your DC-DC charger and MPPT Solar controller.

The highly integrated and efficient BMS allows for high-speed charging from multiple sources at 1C (100A). This means that with the right conditions and sources the Hub can be recharged in just over an hour.

Alternatively you can get your 100A charge with easy through shore-line/hook-up input via the Kinergier Mobile (CM2.0L.) Allowing you to fully recharge from your home, in just over 60 minutes.
