New “Battle Breeze” Toilet Spray Brings In-Game Rewards, Available On-Site and for Purchase Online July 26

DALLAS, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ~Pourri, from the makers of Poo~Pourri—the company known for freshening funky odors without the funky ingredients—is bringing its cheeky humor to San Diego Comic-Con in collaboration with Supercell, the Finnish mobile gaming giant behind the globally renowned CLASH series. Beginning July 26, attendees will have the first-ever opportunity to experience “Bathroom Battlestation,” an immersive twist on the newly released NFC-enabled Poo~Pourri pocket sprayer that leverages “Tap” technology to merge the bathroom experience with the World of CLASH.

“Everybody poops, no surprise there, but what most people might not know is that more than 50% of gamers play while going #2,” said Suzy Young (Batiz), CEO of ~Pourri. “Since finding new ways to defeat funky smells is our specialty, being able to have honest conversations like this made working with this iconic gaming giant that much more fun. It’s a pinch-me moment for our team to be at Comic-Con for the first time, and to be a part of creating a memorable experience for gamers around the world.”

Developed by agency The Ninth, the NFC-enabled pocket sprayer unlocks in-game rewards via browser landing page for both Clash Royale and Clash of Clans when tapped to an NFC-capable smartphone. Users can expect new Emotes for Clash Royale and an existing Decoration for Clash of Clans, plus chances to win prizes and earn Clash Rewards.

Those not able to visit the Comic-Con Bathroom Battlestation at the corner of First Ave and Island Ave (450 Second Ave) will still be able to participate by ordering “Battle Breeze” online, with access to claim rewards through Sept. 26, while supplies last.

“We first experimented with our NFC-enabled bottles in 2023, and since then have been focused on expanding this new era of consumer engagement, including bringing it to SXSW this year,” said Young (Batiz). “So when we were presented with the opportunity to collaborate with the Supercell team to not only create a limited edition scent and bottle, but be a part of their Bathroom Battlestation with our interactive “Tap” experience, we jumped at the chance.”

Formulated with essential oils and powered by the company’s Proprietary Funk Lock™ Technology to trap bathroom odor under the water’s surface, “Battle Breeze” will be available in the Cypress Woods scent, an aromatic blend of pine and cedar paired with fresh citrus. The new pocket sprayer will come in limited 1 oz quantities, and part of special giveaways on-site at San Diego Comic-Con, as well as for purchase on Amazon and Pourri.com, for $7.99 starting July 26.

Visit the official “Battle Breeze” webpage to be a part of the countdown and learn more.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
