What we can tell you

Read from the figures on this page. No review written yet.

9.6 kWh is below the smaller-home band.
We can't score it: a value score needs a price and full specs, and without them any number would be guesswork.

Key specs, in plain terms

The numbers that matter for a home. The full datasheet is below.

Usable capacity How much energy it stores for you to use: 9.6kWh
Round-trip efficiency How much of the energy you store comes back out: 92%
Depth of discharge How much of the battery you can actually use: 95%
Warranty How long the manufacturer stands behind it: 5yr
Battery chemistry Lithium iron phosphate — the long-cycle-life type: LFP
Size and weight 750 × 590 × 205 mm — roughly a large suitcase on the wall: 90kg

WA Battery Scheme eligibility

Not eligible

Synergy SSL inverter pairing, VPP participation and state-rebate qualification for this battery. Rebate and STC amounts are shown in the pricing panel.

This battery is AC-coupled. To get the WA rebate, the interest-free loan, VPP payments or DEBS export credits, it needs a gateway device from Synergy's approved list (for example SMA or Redback), or an inverter and battery from the same brand (Sungrow or Fronius). Without one, exports are capped at 1.5kW.

Some third-party gateways struggle to pass compliance testing, and adding anything to an AC-coupled system later means the whole system has to be re-checked. For many homes, switching to a hybrid (DC-coupled) inverter is the simpler path. AC vs DC coupling
