What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Usable capacity
100% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 20 kWh in the scored configuration.20 kWh usableScored configuration: X1-H12K-T with X1-B20-HC. Published range 5–30 kWh.
No reserve is withheld at the stated depth of discharge.
At a sourced 100% depth of discharge the usable and nominal figures are the same number, so no separate nominal capacity is stated.
Usable capacity sourceDepth-of-discharge sourceCapacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 10
No year-by-year capacity schedule is published for this product - the manufacturer guarantees only this end-of-term minimum, not a specific decline curve. Capacity figure based on the sourced usable capacity of the base configuration; modular systems scale with additional modules.
Blackout protection
82 / 100#4 of 90 batteriesWhole-home, seamless (<20ms)
The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.

Market context
Global evidencechange in the site menu
Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.
Benchmark anchor. The score stays fixed to the named Australian approved configuration rather than inheriting the largest stack. Hybrid throughput is withheld where the warranty table does not reproduce the approved HC model suffix. Scored model: X1-H12K-T with X1-B20-HC · checked 2026-08-02. Evidence.
Sources & references · checked 2026-08-16
Strong evidence coverage
29 of 29 scored criteria link directly to a published source.
Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
