Usable capacity

100% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 10 kWh in the scored configuration.

10 kWh usableScored configuration: MIN 6000TL-XH2 + APX 10.0P-S0 AU. 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.

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.

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. The scored reference uses the exact 10 kWh battery configuration and 6 kW inverter. Backup and APX S2 compatibility are withheld. Scored model: MIN 6000TL-XH2 + APX 10.0P-S0 AU · checked 2026-08-02. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

15 of 15 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.

Record revision. APX HV Battery-S0 AU datasheet March 2026, APX S0 AU manual April 2026, APX AU 10-year warranty, exact MIN TL-XH2 datasheet and Australian approved-product lists checked 2026-08-02. First-market DE overlay review 2026-08-31: official German catalogues recorded for the remaining 17 AU+US identities; Australian and United States overlays and scores unchanged.
