Decision evidence

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, 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.

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.
