Can I add the Dura EV Charger to my existing Duracell Energy system?

The Duracell Energy EV Charger is no longer available to purchase. We’re working on a new version of the charger, which is expected to launch in 2027. Further updates will be shared as they become available.

In the meantime, you can still use a third-party EV charger alongside your Duracell Energy battery system. However, third-party chargers are not compatible with the Duracell Energy app and will be recognised as a standard household load.

For optimum performance, an approved electrician needs to move the grid current transformer (CT) to be connected to the Dura-i so that it will only see the houseload and the inverter (everything but the EV charger). This might require some adjustments to your electrical layout between the grid supply meter and any distribution boards.

How can I prevent my battery from discharging when charging my EV?

If you want to charge your EV without using energy stored in your battery, you can set a scheduled charge on your Dura-i inverter at the power of 1W or more in the Duracell Energy app for the period when you plan to charge your car. This will help prevent your battery from discharging to supply your EV charger.
