Home battery price per kWh — know what you’re comparing

A 5.12 kWh BMU module costs $1,031.25 incl. GST — $201.42 per nominal kWh for the module alone. Every stack also needs a $536.25 BCU base. The examples below include that required base, so you can compare the battery hardware fairly.

Pi LV1 battery hardware prices including one BCU base, incl. GST
BMU modules + BCU	Nominal capacity	Hardware incl. GST	Per kWh incl. GST
2 modules + 1 base	10.24 kWh	$2,598.75	$253.78
3 modules + 1 base	15.36 kWh	$3,630.00	$236.33
4 modules + 1 base	20.48 kWh	$4,661.25	$227.60
6 modules + 1 base	30.72 kWh	$6,723.75	$218.87

Scale as you go

5.12 kWh per module, 10.24 kWh to 30.72 kWh per stack, and up to 8 stacks (245.76 kWh) for bigger sites. Start small now and add modules later without replacing anything.

Not locked to one brand

48 V low-voltage architecture that talks to Deye and other mainstream hybrids. Sungrow batteries only work with Sungrow, Fox only with Fox — Pi LV1 gives you a choice.

The truth about battery cells in Australia

Almost every lithium home battery sold in Australia today — premium brand or not — uses LFP cells from one of the same handful of manufacturers: CATL, BYD, EVE, REPT and Gotion. The cells inside a Pi LV1 come off the same production lines as the cells inside the big-name batteries. Nobody in this market is making their own cells.

REPT, EVE, CATL and BYD 3.2V 100Ah LiFePO4 prismatic cells side by side — The same handful of LFP prismatic cells — REPT, EVE, CATL and BYD — sit inside nearly every lithium home battery sold in Australia.

Same cells, different badge

CATL, BYD, EVE and REPT supply the vast majority of LFP prismatic cells used in Australian home batteries. Paying a premium does not buy you a better cell.

The real difference is BMS + build

What actually separates brands is BMS software (balancing, comms, protection logic) and pack build quality — busbars, terminals, enclosure and thermal design.

Cheap to fix out of warranty

If a Pi LV1 BMS board ever fails outside the warranty period, it is an inexpensive, replaceable part — not a whole-battery write-off like sealed all-in-one units.

So the question is not "whose cells are better" — it is whether the pack is well built, the BMS talks properly to your inverter, and whether someone who actually knows the equipment picks up the phone when you need them. That is where we come in.

I'm the North Queensland warranty technician

Warranty handled directly by me — not a third party, not the installing electrician.

I am the appointed warranty technician for North QLD, so if something goes wrong with a Pytes system you bought from me, you call me. No call centre, no being bounced between the retailer, the installer and the manufacturer. I diagnose it, I raise it, and I see it through.

24-hour support, direct

Buy the system through me and I'm your direct support contact, 24 hours a day — design advice, commissioning, comms settings or faults.

How it compares to the big-name batteries

Every battery below uses LFP cells and carries a 10-year warranty. The difference is what you pay per kWh, and whether you are locked into one inverter brand for the next decade.

Pytes Pi LV1	5.12 kWh modules, 10.24 – 30.72 kWh	Up to 14.08 kW cont. / 25.6 kW surge	10 yr · 6,000 cycles	Open 48 V — Deye and other LV hybrids	Plug-and-play, ~15 min stack
Tesla Powerwall 3	13.5 kWh fixed	11.5 kW cont. / 22 kW peak	10 yr	Integrated — Tesla ecosystem only	Single large AC unit, one-size-fits-all
Sungrow SBR HV	9.6 – 25.6 kWh (3.2 kWh modules)	6.4 – 12.8 kW	10 yr	Sungrow SH hybrids only	High-voltage stack, brand-locked
BYD Battery-Box HVM	11.0 – 22.1 kWh	~10.2 kW	10 yr	Multiple HV hybrids	HV modules, hand-wired BMU
