This is a large 48V LiFePO4 battery that stands out for capacity per dollar and off grid backup use. The comments point to easy pairing with an inverter or hybrid inverter for whole home backup, solar charging, or running essentials, and some setups use it with a 240V inverter for EV charging. The main catches are that it is a DC battery, so it needs extra hardware like an inverter, transfer switch, or panel work, and the UL listing and inspection status are questioned. Efficiency and safety concerns also come up, especially around charging losses and fire or insurance implications.

Common Questions (5)

  • The battery itself is reported as not UL listed, while ECO-WORTHY's server-rack batteries are the ones described as UL listed. That matters because non-UL batteries may create inspection, insurance, and grid-connection problems.

  • Yes. It is a DC battery, so you need an inverter to convert it to AC for household loads, and an inverter/charger or hybrid inverter if you want it to charge from solar or the grid. For whole-home backup, it can be paired with a critical-loads panel and transfer switch.

  • A 5kW inverter is suggested for lighter loads and a gas furnace, but a 10kW unit may be needed for central AC. The practical check is your AC breaker: 20A loads may fit a 5kW inverter, while 40A loads likely need more headroom.

  • Yes. It can run an off-grid zone, power essentials through an inverter, or serve as backup for loads like a Tesla charger when paired with the right inverter. It is also described as useful for emergency backup and daily cycling when utility buyback rates are low.

  • It can be set up similarly only if you add the missing pieces: an inverter with an automatic transfer switch, plus panel-level installation. The battery itself is only the storage component; Powerwall combines the battery, charge controller, inverter, and backup gateway in one unit.

No, that's not how it works in a capitalist country. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is a rich person wanting to pay even less than thier fair share of taxes.

Here's how it actually works in capitalist countries with government subsidies -

Three nearly identical things competing against each other:

Before subsidy:
$750, $1,000, $1,250

After subsidy:
$500, $750, $1,250

Aaannnnddd.... that's it!

Yep! That is really how it works. Because "competition" and "invisible hand"!

But most people start with, "I have $X dollars, what's the most I can get for it?"

So with a 30% subsidy a lot will bump up from the 16kw to the 24kw model. And some people that would have passed will buy the 16kw because now it's affordable.

WHICH IS THE POINT OF THE SUBSIDY.

But people trading up is not "got more expensive", it's "traded up". The cheaper model stayed the cheapest model.

Make sense?

Same with tuition.

You can argue whether using government subsidies to trade up to The Full College Experience makes sense rather than pocketing the savings, living at home, and going to a commuter university for 1/4th the cost. But when that commuter university costs $8k/yr (tuition, books, fees), it's a hard sell to claim that "subsidies made tuition more expensive". (Community college is even cheaper, and you can do AP and CLEP to get your first years credits knocked out for even less.)

Same thing with houses. Government subsidizes mortgage rates. Instead of pocketing the savings and buying the same size same neighborhood Modest Home, people nearly universally trade up to a Mc Mansion and/or a better neighborhood.

The issue isn't "subsidy". It's when trading up isn't the goal.

Oh, and you do know why prices keep dropping on lithium batteries, right?

China heavily subsidizes lithium battery production to ensure that non-Chinese companies can't compete. Which is why you don't have American companies as options for quite a lot of things. They couldn't compete against the lower cost of government subsidized imports.
In general subsidies artificially increase demand and lead to increased prices because consumers are still getting the product for the same price or less while the manufacturers/businesses/schools/healthcare providers can charge more. It also distorts the market, stifles innovation, and can drive companies out of business leading to decreased competition. It's why the majority of products subsidized by the government get more expensive and anything not subsidized gets cheaper. It's why Lasik continued to get cheaper while all other healthcare got more expensive (it wasn't covered by insurance or Medicaid/Medicare so there was less demand). It's why college education keeps going up while loans and grants are at an all time high. Community college is not cheaper than it was before the government decided to hand out loans and grants like candy. Electricity costs have been soaring because of the government's big push for solar and wind power to replace oil/gas/coal even though it's substantially less efficient than other methods.

You might think it looks great for trading up but if it wasn't for the subsidy, the prices would have never got that high to begin with on most of these products. The competition of the free market and the lack of people who can afford college or a house without government loans/grants would be lower and therefore the demand for college and houses would also be lower. The lower the demand the more prices would come down. That's how the free market works. But we don't have a free market, we have market manipulation with the government playing favorites. Also, China is subsidizing their battery production & likely tariffs are causing them issues too. They do this so they can continue dominate the market but they also have strict controls over businesses so they can keep their costs artificially low (not a free market). Now when you take away the American subsidies to buy solar products, those same solar products end up 30% more expensive than they would be otherwise meaning American's demand decreased substantially and that less demand is lowering prices. So what you are seeing is the dropping of subsidies in America leading to lower demand & China wanting to keep prices artificially low in order to prevent competition.

Not sure why I'm even feeding your troll. Individual grade a cells are like $90-100/ea and this has 16. That's not even including the BMS or enclosure or anything else.

I just don't understand the use cases for these devices. The payback time arbitraging on/off peak rates is near infinity for me. I guess you could use it for an emergency backup, but my power has never been out for more than 30 minutes in five years. Buying an additional inverter and manually moving plugs and/or buying a new panel makes it an even more expensive proposition. In almost all states, interconnect agreements for solar allow you to sell excess energy back (albeit at a lower price). I just don't get it. What am I missing here?If you are 100% off grid, I get it, but that certainly can't be most of the people looking at/buying this product.
Most people don't have 1:1 net metering. If I buy power for .15/kwh and they buy it for .03/kwh then it costs me .12/kwh to use utility as a battery. I can take this battery and cycle it instead of feeding back to the utility. You calculate 10 years * 365 days * 16kwh * 0.8 (only drain to 20%) * .95 (efficiencies) and it gives me about 44,000 kWh in lifetime use. Then multiply * .12kwh and that would be about $5,300 to continue using the utility. This comes in a lot less than that. My numbers of course make assumptions like you'll use and drain it fully every day and that you already have a hybrid inverter, etc.

So depending on your utility rates, if you cycle this every day you'll get your money back. Plus have an emergency power backup to boot.

That's probably why the prices are going down. Government subsidized things always cost more. It's the same reason tuition keeps going up.
No it's because Chinese manufacturing and supply chain is mind blowingly efficient.

I currently run 5 of them daily with an EG4 Flexboss18 inverter. The batteries are not UL listed though so they wouldn't pass an inspection.
Dending on your AHJ. Some still aren't on newer code yet.

But how do they ship it? Even UPS maxes out at 175lbs, I think.
They are shipping it to you via pallet

You're arguing that the laws of supply and demand cease to apply when there are government subsidies. Subsidies raise prices in two ways:
  1. The subsidies increase the amount consumers are willing or able to spend, which puts upward pressure on prices.
  2. Subsidies make products and services available to people that couldn't otherwise afford them, which increases demand, which raises prices.

This. The new v2 version is $2099 if you buy two of them, and has screw terminals and gas aerosol module.
I'm wondering if connectors on this one can be replaced, but you will also have to replace the internal 2 AWG wire, which sux.

Thanks for this perspective 🙏 So in this sense if you have batteries to store the solar energy produced, it's actually more cost-saving to use the energy off-grid than selling it back to utility.
