KMC Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi Everyone, Has anyone been able to find stock of the Pylontech US5000 batteries in South Africa? I'm currently looking at a UP5000, but I would prefer a US5000 if at all possible - purely due to the warranty. Kind regards, KMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMC Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Ordered a Freedom Won eTower instead. Their warranty terms seemed a lot more reasonable than Pylontech's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedster Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Do we know the difference between US and UP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, what I do know is: UP5000 - 5 year non-extendable warranty US5000 - 5 year extendable warranty (looks similar to how US3000B/C gets extended from 7 to 10) I wonder what the reason for that is.

However, they have not responded to any of my emails over the last few months. If their sales service is like that, then I'd be concerned about their after-sales service.

Chezz2305 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Has the availability of the Pylontech US5000 changed at all in South Africa since this post? Looking for the US5000 instead of the UP5000 due to the 80A continuous current draw allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
