A compact hub to store the household’s energy
Lunergy’s Hub 2400 AC is a management unit to be connected on the alternating-current side, supplied here with a BP5200 battery. Together they make up a 5.22 kWh bundle meant to support a house, a small business premises or a second home. The 2.4 kW power quoted in the name gives the scale of the loads you might consider running at the same time. Remember that simultaneous loads add up: a kettle, an oven and a washing machine together can quickly approach that limit, so list your heaviest appliances before relying on the unit.
Where to use it
In a detached house the hub finds its place near the distribution board, provided the room is dry. A professional could fit it in a technical room to keep a few pieces of office or till equipment running during an incident. Each time, compare the power of your appliances with the 2.4 kW value before concluding.
Construction and data sheet details
Main unit dimensions
The hub measures 530 x 360 x 156mm and weighs 12.1 kg. Its small footprint allows it to be fixed to a wall or placed on a flat support, according to the manual’s recommendations. The complete bundle, battery packaging included, occupies 53 × 36 × 38 cm.
Responsiveness and noise
The stated switching time is 10 ms. That figure describes how fast the hub changes over; to learn how it behaves during a grid outage, consult the manufacturer’s manual. The noise level is given as < 45 dB, which remains to be judged against the room where the unit will stand.
Setting up
Start by choosing a solid wall or a stable surface away from damp, since the data sheet gives no water-protection rating. Then link the hub to the battery with suitable cables as described in the manual and set up the Wi-Fi connection. Wiring to the house’s distribution board and configuring protective devices are matters for a qualified installer.
Points to remember
- A 5.22 kWh set in a reasonably sized bundle.
- Changeover in 10 ms.
- Main unit weight of 12.1 kg, easier to handle than a large cabinet.

Precautions and care
Ventilate the room, never cover the hub and store nothing flammable nearby. Use cables in good condition and do not touch them with wet hands. A dry cloth is enough to dust the housing. For any question about compatibility with an inverter, panels or an existing meter, refer to the manufacturer’s manual, because the data sheet specifies neither the IP rating nor the battery chemistry.
