BYD Battery

A BYD Battery is a high-grade rechargeable solar battery produced by Build Your Dreams, one of the world’s biggest battery makers. These batteries basically store the extra solar energy generated by your photovoltaic panels during the day and put it to use later by night time.

At Aussie Solar Tech, We provide a number of BYD Battery-Box models catering to residential, commercial, and off-the-grid applications.

BYD Battery Models:

  • BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL

BYD Battery in Australia — A Safe, Smart, and Affordable Way to Store Your Solar Power

If you have solar panels on your home or business, you may be wondering what happens to the extra solar energy generated during the day. In the absence of a battery, the additional power typically returns to the system, giving you a modest credit on your electricity bill. However, what if that energy could be stored for use when you need it most?

The BYD Battery can help with that. One of the most reputable and well-liked solar battery systems in Australia is BYD, and we at Aussie Solar Tech are pleased to provide and install BYD batteries for residences and commercial buildings around the nation.

About BYD

Being the leading provider of solar battery storage is one of BYD’s numerous aspirations. BYD stands for Build Your Dreams.

With the release of the “B-Box” in 2017, this massive Chinese corporation made its debut in Australia’s domestic battery market.  It is now known as the “BYD Battery Box” and its name is no longer abbreviated.  There are two higher voltage and one low voltage variant of this stackable, modular battery.

The world’s top manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, including NiMH, Lithium-ion, and NCM batteries, is BYD. The whole supply chain, from mineral battery cells to battery packs, is owned by BYD. Consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, and energy storage are just a few of the many applications for these batteries.

Despite their size, BYD is not well-known, particularly since Mr. Elon Musk and its US rival, Tesla, tend to overshadow it. However, it should be mentioned that BYD produced more electric cars till late 2019 in addition to producing a lot more batteries than Tesla.

What is a BYD Battery and How Does It Work?

A BYD Battery is a type of solar energy storage system. It works by storing the extra electricity your solar panels make during the day, so you can use it later when the sun isn’t shining like in the evening, on cloudy days, or during a power blackout.

Here’s how it works in simple steps:

  1. Your solar panels collect energy from the sun during the day.
  2. That energy powers your home or business.
  3. Any extra energy goes into your BYD Battery.
  4. When your solar panels stop working at night, your home or business uses the stored energy from the battery.
  5. If your battery runs out, you’ll automatically switch to grid power.

This means you’ll rely less on electricity from the grid, save money on your power bills, and always have backup power when you need it.

Different Types of BYD Batteries Available in Australia

At Aussie Solar Tech, we offer several BYD battery models to suit different homes, businesses, and budgets. All models are safe, reliable, and built to handle Australia’s weather.

BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL

The BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL is an external inverter-compatible lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. No matter how big the project needs are, the Battery-Box Premium LVL can scale to fulfil them thanks to its control and communication port (BMU). Battery-Box Premium LVL15.4 (15.36 kWh) is the starting point, and it may be expanded at any moment to 983 kWh by connecting up to 64 batteries in parallel. It is possible to stack two LVL batteries on top of one another.
See Datasheet

BYD Battery-Box Premium LVS

An external inverter is required for the BYD Battery-Box Premium LVS, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack. With one to six battery modules stacked in parallel, a single Battery-Box Premium LVS can have a useful capacity of 4 to 24.0 kWh in a single tower.

For a maximum capacity of 256 kWh, it can connect up to 16 Battery-Box LVS 16.0 in parallel. Scalability by the addition of LVS modules or later parallel towers with one to four modules.

BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS

The BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS has a useful capacity of 5.1 to 12.8 kWh and is made up of 2 to 5 HVS battery modules connected in series. Furthermore, a maximum capacity of 38.4 kWh is possible with a direct parallel connection of up to three identical Battery-Box Premium HVS.
 See Datasheet

BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM

The BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM has a useful capacity of 8.3 to 22.1 kWh and is made up of 3 to 8 HVM battery modules connected in series. Furthermore, a maximum capacity of 66.2 kWh is possible with a direct parallel connection of up to three identical Battery-Box Premium HVM.
See Datasheet

BYD Battery Box Appears Safe

The BYD Battery Box’s cells use lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry.  Even though this is the safest kind of lithium battery, how safe it is will rely on how it is made, how well its components are made, and how carefully it is designed.  The good news is that BYD Battery Boxes appear to be safe as of right now.  I would expect BYD to get this right because they have about thirty years of expertise with lithium batteries.

Hybrid Inverter Required

A compatible battery inverter or hybrid inverter is needed for battery boxes.  Fronius, Goodwe, SMA, Solis and Sungrow are among the inverters on the list of compatible models.  It is also possible to use battery inverters manufactured by Victron and Selectronic in Australia.

Why Choose a BYD Battery in Australia?

There are many reasons why BYD Batteries are popular in Australia. Here’s what makes them a great choice:

  • Safe & Long-Lasting: Uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) technology — known for being one of the safest and most durable battery types.
  • Expandable: You can start small and add more batteries later if your energy needs grow.
  • Compatible with Popular Inverters: Works well with top brands like Sungrow, Fronius, SMA, and GoodWe.
  • Weatherproof: Built to handle Australia’s hot summers and wild storms. Can be installed indoors or outdoors.
  • Backup Power: Keeps your lights, fridge, and essential devices running during blackouts.
  • 10-Year Warranty: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.

BYD’s Warranty Offer For Australian Customers

Batteries from BYD come with a ten-year warranty that covers material or workmanship flaws. In the solar sector, this is often called a “product warranty.”

Additionally, they offer a “performance warranty,” which ensures that after ten years or if the battery consumes a certain amount of energy, it will still have 60% of its nameplate usable energy (whichever comes first). According to their warranty agreement, the required through-put is about 3 MWh per kWh of usable energy, or roughly one full cycle every day for eight years. Although some promise a higher percentage of residual usable energy after ten years, this warranty is generally quite typical of what we see offered by Chinese battery manufacturers.

In Australia, BYD has a local office to help customers who need help, which is crucial. When things go wrong, clients may be left stranded attempting to contact foreign producers in the absence of a local office and support professionals.
