Howzit guys

Busy with 10kva solar installation. 

If you had a choice between the two lithium batteries, which one will you choose and why?

Volta 5.12Kwh Battery vs Hubble AM2 5.5 kwh

 

Your feedback is appreciated

No real-life experience with the Volta, but the claimed specs are superior i.t.o. 6000 cycles to greater discharge of 80% instead of 50%. For a lower price. I also like the floor-standing option.

For me and my money I'd be asking where's the catch. For example, why do they promote it as a 1C battery with max 100A discharge, but all the graphs and tech parameters on the datasheets are based on a 0.5C discharge rate? That's not what I'd be interested in, in your setup you need 2 x 1C batteries.

@GreenFields, in essence Hubble over Volta?

neither, rather look at something like the Freedom Won e-tower. 

Just another alternative consideration with 1C rating and local support.

Your choice, your risk. Lots if differing experience with the Hubble if you search the forum. Volta is far more of an unknown factor. I've just given my 2c based on a datasheet, maybe you could get one and give real world feedback to all.

As others have said, I would cast the net wider for more options of 1C batteries and search the forum for views.

I installed 4 Stage 1 Volta’s I Paralel at my home.  The self balance/cycle cut out and restart according to set parapeters. They supply a hair salon, geysers, Hair dryers Aircon’s ext. so they work hard. No issues, running now for 6 months.

there was an initial fault with the installation, only the first and last batt was grounded. It caused the inverter to trip. Problem solved once all bats where grounded.
