Yes. The Rhino IntelliFlex HV battery is designed to provide reliable backup power during load-shedding and grid outages, keeping essential business systems online and minimising operational disruption.
What Backup Power Can Cover
Depending on system size and configuration, Rhino IntelliFlex HV installations can support critical circuits such as lighting, refrigeration, security systems, HVAC (partial or full), medical devices, servers/IT infrastructure, and selected production equipment—ensuring business continuity during outages.
Sizing & Expected Runtime
Runtime during a blackout is determined by the battery capacity installed (kWh) and the aggregate power draw of the protected loads (kW). For accurate estimates, provide your installer with a list of critical circuits, their power ratings, and desired autonomy hours — LBSA will model expected runtimes and recommend the appropriate rack count or staged expansion.
Seamless Transition & Islanding
Rhino IntelliFlex HV systems can be configured for automatic transfer or controlled islanding via the inverter and BMS. On grid failure the system can switch to battery supply with minimal interruption to critical loads; proper commissioning ensures safe transfer, synchronisation and reclosing behaviour.
Generator Coexistence
For extended outages, generators can be integrated with the inverter to recharge batteries or take non-critical loads. LBSA supports generator coexistence strategies so systems can prioritise battery power first and bring generators online only when required.
Commissioning & On-Site Support
LBSA provides commissioning assistance to set correct SOC setpoints, transfer logic and protection limits for backup scenarios. On-site validation and performance testing ensure the backup behaviour matches design expectations and complies with local regulations.
Recommendations
- Define critical loads: List the circuits and devices that must remain powered during outages.
- Specify autonomy: Decide how many hours of backup you need at typical load levels.
- Plan for staged growth: Start with required critical-load coverage and expand capacity as budget or needs change.
- Test regularly: Schedule periodic backup tests and maintenance to confirm readiness.
Conclusion
The Rhino IntelliFlex HV can reliably power essential systems during load-shedding when sized and commissioned correctly. Work with LBSA-certified installers to map critical loads, model runtimes, and configure automatic transfer and generator interaction to achieve resilient, predictable backup performance.
