Published

Teaming up with Bravo’sSummer House” stars, Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula, KIND celebrates all things ‘Good and Good For You’ including Gen Z’s favorite self-care ritual, bed rotting.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For many, the start of a new year triggers well-intentioned resolution making, refreshed commitments to wellness and explorations of self-improvement. As the brand that champions All Kinds of Good, KIND Snacks is kicking 2025 off with a message of empowerment: no one should have to choose between what’s good and good for you. In celebration of all things Good and Good for You, KIND is embracing one of the biggest self-care trends: bed rotting. Bed rotting, one of 2024’s top new Dictionary words 1, has amassed over 310 million mentions on TikTok and has been embraced and rebranded by Gen Z as self-care. Bed rotting is the mindful act of lying down to recharge and reset from the busy outside world – it’s one of the kindest things one can do for oneself. This year, instead of joining the traditional status quo conversations around wellness in January, KIND has partnered with the “Queens of Bed Rotting” Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula from Bravo’s hit show “Summer House” to empower consumers to embrace what might feel impossibly good—or Good and Good For You— by enjoying some quality time to bed rot.

Offering bed rotting enthusiasts the ultimate ‘rotting’ self-care experience, KIND is launching the KINDest Bed Rotting Experience sweepstakes, inviting KIND fans* the chance to win the ultimate curated bed rotting experience: a cozy day of rest and recharge in the comfort of a luxurious hotel bed, curated with bed rotting essentials including KIND Snacks. And for those who like to bed rot in style, KIND is launching the KINDest Bed Rotting Essentials Kits featuring an ultra-cozy hoodie for two – for two bed rotting besties to lounge and enjoy a self-care moment together. The hoodie features two KIND® bar-sized snack pockets, and the kit includes KIND® Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt bars and KIND® ZEROg Added Sugar Caramel Almond and Sea Salt bars, both of which fit perfectly into the snack pockets made for the kindest bed rotting experience.

“Although KIND delivers All Kinds of Good to our consumers year-round, we know there’s a lot of discussion around what is good vs. good for you this time of year,” said Osher Hoberman, Chief Marketing Officer at KIND Snacks. “Whether it be snacking with your favorite KIND product or bed rotting, we’re delighted to offer options that are both good and good for you – for on the go or when taking a pause for self-care.”

“Amanda and I are all about bed rotting, the moments we get to be horizontal in bed are always my favorite. It’s our version of self-care and the time we get to dissect the weekend and chill out before another busy week,” said Ciara Miller. “To start the new year, we wanted to team up with KIND to embrace the things that actually feel good and are good for us too, like enjoying a delicious KIND bar while we bed rot,” added Amanda Batula.

For fans in CT, NJ, NY or PA, enter for a chance to win* a one-night hotel stay for a luxurious day of bed rotting by visiting www.kindestbedrotting.com 2. KINDest Bed Rotting Essentials Kits are available for $39.99 on KIND’s TikTok Shop starting today; limited quantities available, while supplies last.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

By

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.
