HikoTerra has introduced its H4 Hybrid Power System consisting of a high-efficiency bi-directional inverter, LiFePO4 battery modules, intelligent battery charger and a mounting rack.
The inverter offers 97% efficiency with low no-load power consumption and continuous operation at full rated power up to 40°C.
It features solar inputs, and offers NMEA 2000, fibre-optic and ethernet connectivity.
The latest-generation LiFePO4 8kWh battery has a built-in internal battery management system, shunt, fuses and safety disconnect switches.
Auto-disconnect
The smart battery that will auto-disconnect from the rack in case of fault, allowing the system to operate using remaining batteries.
The 200A battery charger can use multiple voltages for shore power input, has a built-in isolation transformer and dual 250A alternator inputs for charging off main engines while underway.
The system can also restart completely discharged batteries from shore power or alternator.
The system has a modular rack and mounting design with a maximum capacity of 16 rack slots, 30kW inverter capacity, three charger modules and 12 batteries delivering 96kW hours of storage depending on requirements.
Electronics and living systems
“Onboard systems are becoming increasingly more complex, putting greater demand on owners and operators to become intimately familiar with the design, operation and maintenance of their electronics and living systems, as well as the power systems that supply them,” explained Mark Harnett, CEO, HikoTerra.
“The H4 is simple, modular and efficient, reduces reliance on generators and supports cleaner, quieter operation.
“With the H4 Hybrid Power System, users simply turn it on and use it, rather than managing their power supply equipment.”
The H4 will be available from mid-2026.
