Mark-Vinzent Weiler from SAX Power Company Unveils Multi-Inverter Technology for Enhanced Battery Safety and Efficiency at Stuttgart Presentation

Mark-Vinzent Weiler from SAX Power Company, located near Ulm, introduces their innovative AC battery technology during a presentation. Sax Power specializes in producing AC batteries without traditional inverters by leveraging their patented multi-inverter technology. He addresses the common issues with conventional high and low voltage DC systems where weak cells affect overall performance and safety due to long series connections. SAX's approach integrates advantages of both voltage technologies using groupings of five cells monitored individually. This allows on-demand series configurations for specific voltages while enhancing control over each cell's usage based on its health and life expectancy. Safety is significantly improved as individual groups are limited to 16 volts instead of 400 volts typical in high-voltage systems, preventing severe hazards if damaged. Iron phosphate cells ensure reliability, disconnecting within milliseconds if needed. The system supports easy expansion for future power needs while maintaining peak efficiency (99% per conversion step) and longevity through optimal cell utilization—all encapsulated within a compact design integrating inversion software directly onto printed circuit boards—offering robust solutions across various residential installations with seamless grid integration.
