The chemistry |
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) |
Lithium ion |
Lithium batteries can store more energy in a smaller space, compared to lead acid counterparts. |
Battery capacity |
1.2kWh - 15.6kWh | 9.8kWh | This is the total amount of energy that can be stored in the battery |
Depth of discharge |
100% |
80% | A higher depth of discharge means your more of your battery can be used from a full charge. |
Operating temperature |
-20C to 45C |
0 to 50C | Built for hot, Western Australian conditions |
Integrated data portal |
Yes |
Yes – with your compatible inverter. |

Our single biggest tip when choosing a battery for your home
When you’re finding which system suits your needs, it’s worth looking beyond the upfront costs of buying the system and having it installed.
Comparing the total energy throughput of different systems is a great way to work out the best value for money when you’re choosing a home battery storage system.
So what does energy throughput really mean?
Compare battery A...
Let’s say you’ve just purchased a 10 kWh battery storage system, with a design cycle life of 3650 charge and discharge cycles.
The total energy battery A can deliver is 36,500 kWhWith battery B...
Now, let’s say you’ve purchased a 10 kWh battery storage system, with a design cycle life of 6000 charge and discharge cycles.
The total energy battery B can deliver is 60,000 kWh. This means it's better value than battery A in the long run :-)
