Does the warranty cover the cells? 3,600 cycles is a LOT of cycles. No mention of what the warranty covers on the manufacturer's web site.

Will this four year old company be around in ten years?

But, if you were trying to live off the grid, could be a good choice.

3600 cycles is nice, but $9000 is insane.
I can build an 11kWh battery array for less than $2k out of deep-cycle sealed lead-acid batteries.
It's not for an electric car. It's just going to sit outside the house, so weight is not an issue.

The battery system is too expensive. The company has to research how to reduce the pricing even with the inverter. It's a lithium-ion battery. a charging cycle of 2,000 times in two years is more realistic. By then the storage efficiency of the battery had gone down to about 50%

You know how you can easily synchronize the sync settings windows 10 and use them in the other Windows 10 with a single Microsoft account.
