PH-PM05 SMART ENERGY1920 × 1080 / FULL HD / STEREO

Intelligence inside.
Flexibility outside.

PH-PM05 combines a protected 5-cell energy core, accurate battery estimation and bidirectional USB-C power in one portable platform.

015 cells Li-ion energy core

Five series-connected cells deliver up to 21 V and 45.62 Wh, with passive balancing for consistent cell performance.

12.5–21 V / 2.5 Ah
02Advanced BMS

Real-time voltage, current and temperature monitoring with overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit protection.

MCU + BMS / NTC monitored
03Accurate state estimation

Coulomb counting and Kalman filtering work together to provide reliable State-of-Charge information.

Live SoC / cell balancing
04Bidirectional USB-C PD

Fast charging and device power through one USB-C interface, with intelligent profiles up to 80 W.

PD3.0 / QC3.0+ / up to 20 V

One energy core.
Multiple jobs.

01 / CORDLESS TOOLS

Power-tool compatibility

PH-PM05 connects to compatible cordless tools through an interchangeable adapter, allowing one removable smart battery pack to support different tool interfaces.

02 / COOLING

Rear-mounted portable cooling

A single PH-PM05 pack slides into the fan's rear docking interface to supply cordless power without obstructing the front airflow. The removable format supports fast pack exchange, separate charging and reuse across other compatible applications.

03 / WORKSHOP

Field equipment

PH-PM05 slides fully into the equipment's dedicated socket, where the docking rails retain the pack and connect power to the machine. The removable pack replaces a fixed internal battery and can be exchanged between jobs to extend operating time.

04 / BACKUP POWER

Multi-pack power station

Four swappable PH-PM05 packs combine inside one portable energy hub. Each pack docks independently and reports its status to the central display, while the integrated UK Type G outlet supplies connected tools, electronics and essential equipment. Individual packs can be exchanged to extend runtime without replacing the complete system.

At-a-glance status

The integrated OLED keeps battery capacity and charging information visible wherever the pack is used.

06 / E-MOBILITY

Scalable power system

The modular architecture scales from four to eight swappable PH-PM05 packs. Each pack docks independently into a shared power system, allowing capacity and operating range to increase without changing the core platform. Pack-level SoC and SoP communication supports status monitoring, coordinated power delivery and individual pack replacement.
