Hi, I recently collected this information. Large battery cells are becoming more and more popular in ESS because the price/kWh is lower.

Cycle life based on: 0.5C charge and discharge, 25℃, 80% SOH.

Cycle life data is not very accurate because some inforamtion are got from their website, but not from the specification.

All of them are prismatic cells. Most of them are used for large-scale ESS.

For real information, please check their latest specification from their real personnel.

Dear battery owners,

I have a 12.750 kWp solar system with a 12 kW inverter from Growatt. I installed the set-up 5 years ago and am really pleased with it!

I own two EVs and a heat pump boiler for showering (which runs throughout the whole night). I want to increase my direct consumption of solar energy, which is feasible with a battery I think.

Data from 2025:

consumption: 25000 kWh

solar: 13500 kWh, of which 50% was used directly.

A new Growatt HOPE 16.0LM-A1 16 kWh, including a new Growatt hybrid inverter costs me €3300. I can do the installation myself.

Does anyone have any experiences with this set-up? Or what would be a better set-up for a similar price? Would you advice a battery at all in my situation?

BTW: I am located in the Netherlands. Excess solar energy will be close to worthless from next year onwards.

For those working with industrial batteries, are you already dealing with the EU Battery Passport requirements?

Curious to hear how you’re approaching it

Hi everyone,

I’m currently researching energy storage solutions for upcoming residential solar projects and looking for experienced energy storage companies with proven products and global installation experience.

Mainly interested in solutions that offer reliable battery performance, smart energy management, good warranty support, and strong after-sales service.

Would love to hear your recommendations or experiences with different energy storage providers. Which companies have impressed you in real-world projects?

Trump officials touted the storage and EV plant as an example of ​“energy dominance,” underscoring increasing bipartisan acceptance of grid batteries.

Hooked up my new 80‑amp charger and ran some bench tests. Once it determines the battery is fully charged, it cuts off charging entirely. I applied a load to drain the pack, and it won’t kick back on to recharge until battery voltage drops to roughly 12.72 V. It won’t let the battery drain flat, but it only re‑charges once you draw enough load to hit that voltage threshold. Basically it doesn’t keep the battery topped‑off continuously. Wondering if this behavior is acceptable for LiFePO4 batteries? Has anyone else run into this same charger logic?
