Beneteau Antares 12 Coupe tested: the capable cruiser for offshore and family fun

Its high-power cells allow for a full charge or discharge in just 30 minutes, meaning that even the smallest 100XTREME model, weighing just 11kg, which has a maximum discharge rate of 200A, can deliver up to 2500W of continuous power. That’s enough to power a kettle or an induction hob. In terms of capacity, it is claimed to still have enough juice to charge an iPhone 206 times or a laptop 51 times, cook nine pizzas in an air fryer or make 78 espressos from a coffee machine. For those that need more, there is the 200Ah 200XTREME, and a 24V 24-100 XTREME. Cost from £900 for the 100XTREME.

The 100XTREME, fitted with carry strap and weighing 11kg, is realistically portable.
