Startup without grid power: Under special circumstances when both PV and Grid power are out of order, the battery can be activated through the "Black Start" function. This means that our energy storage inverter and battery can continue to operate.; Turn on the DC Switch, press and hold the “POWER” button for 3 seconds, then release.; Press the “POWER” button three times in succession within 4 seconds (Complete within 30 seconds after the battery system starts up).; The Status LED remains solid green, indicating successful activation of Black Start mode.; Ensure correct battery-inverter connection prior to Black Start. No wiring modifications during black start.

Evidence score

Research pending0% documented

The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.

Missing for this product: Certificates evidence needed; Warranty term needed; Warranty energy disclosure evidence needed; Lifetime / capacity evidence needed; Cell model disclosure evidence needed.

High-voltage stacked batteries · Rated capacity

The warranty term and the lifetime energy are each scored against the best documented value for a home storage battery: a value earns its share of that best, times the weight. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0.
