Printed as "200A (for 180 seconds)" in the Pytes V16 User Manual (EN V20251225), section 2.1, Parameters (Peak Discharge Current), captured on September 26, 2026. The datasheet figure of 300 A is for 15 seconds; the two ratings are for different durations. Revised on 26 September 2026: The exact-model user manual is the primary source (owner ruling of September 26, 2026); the datasheet rating of 300 A for 15 seconds stays beside it. The documents state different durations, so no conflict flag is added.
Manufacturer cycle claim at 25 °C ± 4 °C, 0.5 C charge / 0.5 C discharge, 90% depth of discharge, and 70% retained capacity at end of life (footnote 3). This is not a warranty-throughput guarantee.
The 8000-cycle claim the record already holds is measured at 77 °F ± 7 °F / 25 °C ± 4 °C, 0.5 C charge and discharge and 90 % depth of discharge, with 70 % capacity retained at end of life.
Printed as "Total throughput energy: (51.2 V×314 Ah / 1000 × 80% × 8000 / 1000)×90%=92 MWh" in footnote 3 of the Pytes V16 datasheet (V20260827) and its earlier edition, under "0.5 C/0.5 C @ 90% DOD, ret @70% (EOL)", captured on September 26, 2026. A manufacturer estimate, not a warranted throughput. Revised on 26 September 2026: The earlier warning rested on the catalog reading the printed formula (lead ruling: flags from our own arithmetic are removed); the current datasheet prints the same 92 MWh figure and formula.
Overall dimensions explicitly labeled W × D × H: 688.4 ± 2.0 × 260 ± 2.0 × 700.0 ± 2.0 mm. Ground mounting bracket is an additional purchase; bracket envelope is not included as a documented overall installation dimension.
Exact datasheet wording, naming the connector maker and part number. Cable size, torque and any mating part supplied with the battery are not published.
Printed as "Expandable up to 16 units (256 kWh) in parallel without a Pytes hub". Whether more than sixteen can be paralleled with a hub is not stated.

Revised on 1 October 2026: The current Pytes V16 datasheet (V20260827) prints the heating film turning on at or below 59 °F / 15 °C, replacing the 41 °F / 5 °C printed in the earlier May 2026 datasheet, which is kept as an alternative with a warning.

Chapter 4 also lists a flat and level surface if floor mounting; a floor mount bracket appears in the packing list and a wall-mounted bracket in the optional accessories.
Charged Reviews classified this product from the documents it is based on. It is our own grouping, not a manufacturer claim.
Printed as "Wall-mounted or ground-mounted installation". Classified as Wall / floor from the maker's own words for this model (wall or floor mounting, the catalog's combined Wall / floor value).
Printed as "Sets protocol address for inverter communication." in the Pytes V16 User Manual EN V20251225 (page 15, 3.2 Components, Table 3-1, DIP Switch). Section 5.3.4 also says to set the inverter communication address on the DIP switch.

The two-page V16 specification sheet Pytes serves from the Datasheet link of its own V16 product page, captured byte for byte on September 22, 2026. It establishes the published electrical, general, heating-film, environmental and compliance figures for the wall- or ground-mounted 16 kWh outdoor battery, including the Phoenix Plug & Play DC connector model, the sixteen-unit 256 kWh parallel limit, the 8000-cycle life at 25 °C, 0.5 C and 90 % depth of discharge with 70 % end-of-life retention, and the warranty of ten years or 8000 cycles, whichever comes first. This upload is newer than the sheet the catalog already records for the V16; the two agree on every figure the catalog holds. Its UL 9540 Ed.3, UL 9540A (2025), UL 9540B, UL 1973 and UN 38.3 lines carry no certificate number or issuer record, and its CEC, SGIP and OGPe listings were not read against any authority register.

Pytes's own V16 product page, captured byte for byte on September 22, 2026. It establishes the marketing description, the feature strip, the Datasheet link that serves the May 2026 specification sheet archived alongside it, and the three product photographs the page publishes with alt text "V16". It prints no specification table, no price and no warranty text; every figure recorded for this model comes from the datasheet. It is read here as proof that Pytes still lists the model and as the page the September 2026 datasheet was reached from.

The term ends at ten years or 8000 cycles, whichever comes first. Footnote 3 computes a total throughput of 92 MWh from the same 8000 cycles, 80 % usable depth and 90 % efficiency, but that figure is stated as a cycle-life calculation, not as a warranted throughput.
Printed as "10 years" with footnote 4 reading "10 years or 8000 cycles (whichever comes first)". No warranty contract, coverage list, remedy or exclusion set was read; the datasheet line is the whole of the published term.
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 details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.
Missing for this product: Warranty energy disclosure evidence needed; Cell model disclosure evidence needed.

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.
