Batteries, especially big batteries, are set to be the next big thing, with several CE distributors targeting camping, outdoor and trade workplaces as the market to go after.

Others are looking to the home market and back-up batteries for solar as a growth market.

Earlier this month, Sydney-based distributor Laser Corporation entered the large battery market. Their range consists of two inaugural models: the PV500, with a 288Wh capacity, and the PV1500, with a 1228Wh capacity.
