Meet Russ

The Electrician Behind Sapphire Energy

Sapphire Energy isn’t backed by a faceless corporation, it’s powered by Russ, a licensed electrician, off-grid enthusiast, pyrotechnician and problem-solver who’s built custom setups for remote cabins, RVs, and everything in between.

After years working in heavy industry and designing automated electrical systems, Russ launched Sapphire Energy to bring reliable, high-performance lithium batteries to Canadians, without the hassle of dealing with offshore brands or vague support.

When you buy from Sapphire, you're getting more than a battery. You’re getting trusted, real-world advice from someone who’s used this gear himself and actually answers your questions.
