STREAM AC is an AC-coupled balcony battery with nothing to plug into it: no panels of its own, no onboard outlet to connect an appliance or a microinverter. It connects only through its grid terminal, straight into a home outlet or at the end of another unit in the STREAM range, and from there it exchanges energy with the existing electrical system. Below zero the battery heats itself to keep charging even in winter.
With no outlets of its own, appliances connect to any other outlet in the home: it's the app that decides how much energy to send in that direction based on the settings chosen. It's built mainly to add capacity to a system that already has another unit with outlets, or for a system spread across several rooms that shares the battery over the home Wi-Fi; and when it joins a chain of several units, it always goes at the end, never in the middle.
Basic control also works over Bluetooth when Wi-Fi doesn't reach that far, but staying offline limits functions: you see one unit at a time, and scheduling around energy prices still depends on a stable connection. It resists rain and splashes and mounts to a wall, or stacks on another unit. It's the right choice for anyone who just wants more kilowatt-hours to add to a STREAM system already installed elsewhere in the home, not for anyone looking for a place to plug in an appliance directly or stay powered during a blackout: with no outlets of its own, when the grid drops there's nothing to draw current from.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out
- price
- 899
- nominal capacity
- 1.920
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
How we worked it out
- stated cycles
- 6000
- warranty years
- 3650
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher
- without conversion losses, which the manufacturer does not state: the real cost is higher

Pros and cons
In favour
- It adds capacity to an already installed system without needing outlets of its own: it connects in a chain or in another room, sharing the battery through the app.
- It connects to a normal home outlet with the included cable, without needing work on the electrical panel where local rules allow it. source
- Without Wi-Fi it stays controllable up close over Bluetooth: turning it on and checking the charge level don't depend on an internet connection.
- Internal heating lets it charge even on nights below zero, on the balcony where it's mounted.
Worth knowing
- It has no outlets of its own: in a blackout it doesn't power anything by itself, appliances have to connect elsewhere in the home or to a unit in the range that has outlets.
- Without an additional smart meter, the power fed into the grid stays a fixed value set by hand, it doesn't follow the home's real consumption in real time. source
- When it's connected at the end of another unit, it has to stay the last link in the chain: it can't be the central node of a system with several devices. source
