A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out
- stated cycles
- 3650
- warranty years
- 3650
- guaranteed energy throughput
- 3094
These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- The warranty promises at least 60% of usable capacity after ten years, or sooner if the minimum throughput energy is reached.
- Modular design: it can be expanded at any time.
- It has an Ethernet port as standard.
- The stated round-trip efficiency is at least 96%.
Worth knowing
- After ten years and 3,650 cycles the declared efficiency drops from 96% to 94%.
- Setup requires the manufacturer's app and the latest firmware.
