Hyderabad | February 2026: Xbattery, a Hyderabad-based deep-tech startup specializing in next-generation energy storage and Battery Management Systems (BMS), has launched the XB-5K, a 5kWh scalable energy storage system designed for homes and small offices. Inspired by the simplicity of a smartphone powerbank, the XB-5K offers instant switching between grid and backup modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply for households and businesses.
Key Highlights of XB-5K
- Capacity & Performance: Provides 5kWh backup power, supporting electronics and appliances—including air conditioners—for up to 24 hours.
- Lightweight & Portable: Weighs just 37kg, designed for easy installation and everyday use.
- Plug-and-Play Design: Simple installation with integrated data analytics for efficient power management.
- Battery Technology: Built with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells for long life, stability, and safety.
- Indigenous BharatBMS Platform: India’s first universal high-voltage BMS architecture, reducing import dependence on China and enabling superior after-sales servicing.
Industry Context
- China currently holds 40% of India’s BMS import market share and 60% of global exports.
- According to Energy Statistics India 2025, India’s energy supply grew 7.8%, but power outages remain frequent, disrupting households and businesses.
Satish Reddy, Co-founder & CEO, Xbattery, said: “Power outages continue to affect India’s economic productivity. An indigenously developed and affordable energy storage ecosystem is essential for sustainable growth. XB-5K increases productivity, reduces import dependence, and opens export opportunities. We’re building the complete value chain from the ground up, inspired by the simplicity of plugging a phone into a powerbank.”
Sonu Mishra, Co-founder & CTO, Xbattery, added: “We’ve built BharatBMS from scratch, focused on real-time analytics, remote diagnostics, and automatic upgrades. The architecture adapts seamlessly to diverse energy needs—from homes to EVs and factories—rivaling world-class BMS and BESS technologies.
