Core SWX MoXIE Solo, First Sodium Ion Battery for Filmmakers

This alternative to traditional generators is a compact, portable unit that provides simultaneous pure sine wave 3.6 kW AC power and multiple DC outputs. The MoXIE Solo features the first Sodium ion-based battery in the cinema industry.

Designed for Creative Professionals

According to Ross Kanarek, CEO of Core SWX, the MoXIE Solo was designed with creative professionals and industry sustainability in mind. The product aims to offer the ultimate energy solution for on-location shoots, remote film sets, and emergency backups, using a greener approach. The MoXIE Solo is quiet, compact, powerful, easy to transport, and uses eco-friendly cells.

Capacity and Output

The MoXIE Solo delivers a 3.6 kW AC output. Its pure sine wave power ensures a smooth and consistent current, which prevents the risk of interference, hum, and potential damage to sensitive electronic devices. This is crucial for powering high-end cameras, audio equipment, and lighting systems. It offers the same power as a Honda 5k gas generator but with zero CO2 and NOx emissions and operates silently.

Users can increase the MoXIE Solo’s capacity by connecting additional cell packs directly to the unit. It has two expansion ports, allowing users to add power on the go or start with 9 kWh by coupling three Vita Cell packs.

AC Generator with Internal Charge

The single battery cell unit has a 20A 110v AC input, allowing it to internally charge the cell in just 2.5 hours with both Vita and Kodiak cell options. Developers plan to accelerate this process to up to 30 minutes for the Kodiak cell by the product’s launch. Users can also replace the MoXIE cells and charge them externally to use the system without interruption.

Battery status, output levels, and system diagnostics can be monitored on the integrated 5” touchscreen display.

Additional Outputs

The MoXIE Solo offers multiple DC outputs (15v, 28v, and 48v) capable of handling up to 16A each. It also has two power tap 14v outputs, as well as USBC PD and USBA ports. These versatile options allow filmmakers to power their gear on set, charge almost any device, and perform firmware updates.

Battery Cell Options

The MoXIE Solo system offers two battery cell options. The “Vita” is a 3 kWh LifePO4 battery with a life cycle of over 4000 cycles. The “Kodiak” cell (2 kWh) is the first Sodium Ion-based battery in the cinema industry, making it suitable for harsh, cold environments where traditional batteries might fail. Sodium Ion technology is eco-friendly, fully recyclable, doesn’t require rare earth metals, and maintains over 90% capacity at -40°F.

Both cell packs feature LED indicators and Core’s LED light bars to check their status. Core SWX plans to collaborate with rental partners across North America to make both cell packs available to rent at the user’s shooting destination.

Portability

The MoXIE Solo stands out for its compact design. The unit is packed into a robust aluminum cage with wheels, ensuring durability and mobility. The entire unit weighs 121 lbs with the cell installed and 59 lbs when the cells are removed for transportation. The MoXIE Solo can be transported in a regular car or a small production van and does not require a forklift.
