While the 16H offers a large amount of storage, it's not as modular. As far as the 16H's warranty goes, it's about the industry average: 10 years and a 70% end of warranty capacity guarantee. Pricing for this battery typically falls between $8,000 to $11,000 before installation. Plus, pricing for the 16H battery tends to be cheaper than other similar batteries on the market. Online customer reviews for LG batteries were pretty good too, with many customers praising the performance of LG's batteries. The 16H has a continuous on-grid power output of 7 kW and a 90% depth of discharge. Along with its large capacity, the 16H has an impressive round-trip efficiency of 100%, meaning you won't lose any electricity during the storage process. The LG Resu 16H Prime is LG's largest battery in their Resu lineup, holding up to 16 kWh. The typical efficiency rating of batteries we looked at was 90%. The EcoLinx is also the least efficient battery we reviewed, with a round-trip efficiency of 81.60%. The downside is the EcoLinx is significantly more expensive than other batteries we looked at, costing more than $30,000 before installation. This battery offers plenty of extra bells and whistles too, including smart home energy automation, energy tracking, smart weather forecasting and more with the Sonnen app. The Sonnen EcoLinx has an incredibly high depth of discharge rating (the amount of energy you can draw from the battery without causing damage) at 100% and has a decent on-grid continuous power output (how much power a battery can output at all times) of 7 kW. Every other battery we looked at had a 10-year warranty, and with batteries all facing a limited lifespan, the exceptional warranty on the EcoLinx set it apart. Both models include an outstanding 15-year/15,000-cycle warranty. You can also go with the EcoLinx 30, which holds up to 30 kWh. This means your battery capacity is extremely flexible. The EcoLinx 1.5 holds between 12 kWh to 20 kWh and allows you to upgrade your battery capacity in increments of 2 kWh by inserting a battery module into the battery cabinet instead of installing an entirely new battery. The main difference between the two is the battery capacity. Sonnen offers two models of the EcoLinx: the EcoLinx 1.5 or the EcoLinx 30. Instead, we evaluated solar batteries based on manufacturer product data sheets, publicly available online manufacturer data and our own carefully crafted research process and methodology. The batteries featured on this page were not selected based on any hands-on tests - solar batteries, like other solar system components, are large and integrated into your home's energy system, making testing difficult. We looked at more than a dozen batteries, and here are our picks for the top products to consider. You'll want to look at a battery's modularity (how easy it is to combine them to meet your capacity needs), warranty and performance metrics like round-trip efficiency, depth of discharge and power output ratings. Picking the right solar battery is tough. Factors that play into the cost of a solar battery include the battery's capacity (how much energy, in kilowatt-hours, it can hold), the type of battery (its chemistry), the number of batteries you need to meet your energy needs and various other factors. However, solar batteries are notoriously expensive, sometimes costing as much as your solar panels.
