The Dyness AquaVolt is an AC-coupled home energy storage system with LiFePO4 cells and 5.12 kWh of nominal energy. It can be added to an existing photovoltaic system and works with 99% of PV inverters and microinverters. It has a plug-in output for essential household devices and, when the grid is down, switches to emergency power within 10 ms. Management relies on a P1 meter, an IR Reader or a smart meter, and includes scheduling by time-of-use periods and dynamic tariffs. Installation is plug and play, suited also to those who do it themselves. Protection is IP65 and communication runs over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LAN and RS485. Service life is at least 8000 cycles.

What it really costs
- the manufacturer does not state the warranty: the limit could be shorter than the stated cycles
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
How we worked it out
- stated cycles
- 8000
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the true number is lower
How we worked it out
- nominal capacity
- 5.120
- weight
- 65
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

- The IP65 rating protects against dust and water.
- The LiFePO4 cells have a service life of at least 8000 cycles.
