RedEarth Unveils Australian-Made V2G Charger & Next-Gen Home Battery Systems

Queensland energy storage manufacturer RedEarth Energy Storage has revealed major additions to its smart home energy ecosystem, including the commercial arrival of Australia’s first locally built vehicle to grid bi-directional charger. The company has also introduced the next generation Gecko home battery system along with a more powerful Troppo Ultra modular battery.

The announcement represents a significant milestone for Australia’s transition toward energy independence. With more households adopting rooftop solar and electric vehicles, RedEarth believes smart storage and V2G technology will give customers more control over how they use and even monetise their energy.

What does V2G mean for Aussie EV owners?

RedEarth’s 11 kilowatt three phase V2G charger is designed to turn electric vehicles into mobile energy reserves. It allows EV batteries to power the home during outages or export power back into the electricity grid when demand spikes.

This creates new flexibility and financial benefits for households participating in energy markets. EVs can charge when electricity is cheap or negative and discharge when wholesale prices are high.

Key details

• Built locally through partnership with German technology firm Ambibox
• Pre orders start November 2025
• RRP AUD 9,990 excluding GST
• Customer deliveries expected from February 2026

Chief executive Marc Sheldon says the charger will help future proof installers and homeowners as V2G services become a major feature of the evolving energy economy.

One of the final reminaing steps for the charger to be grid-connected is certification under ASNZ4777.2. RedEarth confirmed that certification is expected in the next few months, which will co-incide with early customer deliveries.

Gecko:Plug and play storage built for urban homes

The new Gecko battery system has been engineered for households that want clean energy storage without a complex installation footprint.

It can be installed for grid connected, hybrid or fully off grid setups and supports generator connection for additional backup security.

Customers can tailor their storage capacity using RedEarth’s Troppo battery modules. A Gecko system can be expanded up to

• 32.8 kilowatt hours using existing Troppo modules
• 44.8 kilowatt hours once the higher capacity Troppo Ultra becomes available in early 2026

Other key features

• Single phase options: 5 kW, 8 kW or 10 kW
• Three phase options: 12 kW or 15 kW
• Full home backup capability

Through RedEarth’s Private Power Plant platform and app, owners can monitor energy use in real time and share or trade excess power with friends and family. The system also supports EV charging and V2G optimisation for maximum autonomy.

The Gecko is scheduled to go on sale from November 2025.

Troppo Ultra: More capacity and future ready integration

The Troppo Ultra marks a major step in RedEarth’s low voltage battery development. Each unit provides 5.6 kilowatt hours and delivers around 40 percent more core storage compared to the current Troppo model.

It includes an intelligent battery management system for seamless integration with existing RedEarth products.

Availability is expected early in the first quarter of 2026 pending Clean Energy Council certification.

Sheldon says all products are proudly engineered in Brisbane to withstand Australia’s harsh climate while giving users greater control of how they store, use and export their own clean energy.
