Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis Of Presentation and Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business (see note 2).
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flux Power Inc. after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2013 through the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation for comparative purposes.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. Significant estimates include valuations of equity instruments and deferred tax assets. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of June 30, 2013, cash totaled approximately $20,000 and consists of funds held in a non-interest bearing bank deposit account. The Company considers all highly liquid short term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no other cash equivalents at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amount of our accounts payable, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and line of credit, and warrant derivative liability approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of the notes and as the interest approximates current market interest rates for the similar instruments. Derivative liabilities recorded in connection with warrants are reported at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value being reported in results of operations (see Note 8).
   
Management has concluded that it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of amounts due to related parties because the transactions cannot be assumed to have consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
 
Except for derivative liabilities, we do not have any other assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, did not have any other assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Accounts Receivable and Customer Deposits
Accounts Receivable and Customer Deposits
 
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company may require advance deposits from its customers prior to shipment of the ordered products. The Company has not experienced collection issues related to its accounts receivable, and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.
Inventories
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of battery management systems and the related subcomponents, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company evaluates inventories to determine if write-downs are necessary due to obsolescence or if the inventory levels are in excess of anticipated demand at market value based on consideration of historical sales and product development plans. The Company recorded an adjustment related to obsolete inventory in the amount of approximately $77,000 and $26,000 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, of the related assets ranging from three to ten years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term.
Stock-based Compensation
 Stock-based Compensation
 
Pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, Compensation–Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, we utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.
 
Common stock or equity instruments such as warrants issued for services to non-employees are valued at their estimated fair value at the measurement date (the date when a firm commitment for performance of the services is reached, typically the date of issuance, or when performance is complete). If the total value exceeds the par value of the stock issued, the value in excess of the par value is added to the additional paid-in-capital account.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. Delivery occurs when risk of loss is passed to the customer, as specified by the terms of the applicable customer agreements. When a right of return exists, contractually or implied, the Company recognizes revenue on the sell-through method. Under this method, revenue is not recognized upon delivery of the inventory components. Instead, the Company records deferred revenue upon delivery and recognize revenue when the inventory components are sold through to the end user.
Deferred revenue at June 30, 2012 related to one customer of approximately $480,000 representing units not yet sold through by our customer and was recognized in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2013 (as the right of return was waived). The related product costs of $429,000 were recorded as costs of sales. As of June 30, 2013 the Company does not have any deferred revenue.
Sales Returns and Allowances
Sales Returns and Allowances
 
The Company evaluates its exposure to sales returns and allowances based on historical experience. The Company has not experienced returns during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and accordingly, the Company did not record sales returns and allowance.
Product Warranties
Product Warranties
 
The Company evaluates its exposure to product warranty obligations based on historical experience. Our products are warrantied for two years unless modified by a separate agreement. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company recorded a warranty liability of approximately $11,000 and $12,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company records shipping and handling costs charged to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs to cost of sales as incurred.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with authoritative guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, if indicators of impairment exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows.
 
If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset. The Company believes future cash flows expected to be received from its long-lived assets held in use will exceed the assets’ carrying values, and accordingly the Company has not recognized any impairment losses during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Research and Development
Research and Development
 
The Company is actively engaged in new product development efforts. Research and development cost relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
 
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic No, 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
 
The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
We follow the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No.740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have commenced analyzing filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result of adoption, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded. There are no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.
Net (Loss) Per Common Share
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per common share by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding convertible securities.
 
For the year ended June 30, 2013, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 46,592,334 and 50,553,184, respectively. The potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2013, which include common shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants, included in the diluted weighted-average calculation were approximately 3,664,000.
 
For the year ended June 30, 2012, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 36,904,769. The Company incurred a net loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same because the inclusion of all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. The potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2012, which include common shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants, were 2,386,622.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk.
 
We evaluate free-standing derivative instruments (or embedded derivatives) to properly classify such instruments within equity or as liabilities in our financial statements. The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
 
Instruments classified as derivative liabilities are recorded initially at their estimated fair value and are re-measured each reporting period (or upon reclassification) and the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations in other (income) expense.
 
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging to classify and value warrant liabilities. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities are recorded at their fair values at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date, using a Monte Carlo simulation (“MCS”). A MCS model uses a simulation technique to generate multiple random price paths for the stock price to simulate many possible future outcomes, which are then discounted at the risk-free rate. These simulated paths are then averaged to determine the fair value of the warrants (see Note 8).
New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards
 
 The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. There have been no recently issued accounting standards, or changes in accounting standards, that have had or are expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
