- Backup boundary
- Installation-specific
What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Capacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 12
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 score and displayed range remain inside the exact source and market boundary recorded by the 13 August 2026 sprint. Scored model: B14400-HW x5 · checked 2026-09-01. Evidence.
Australian warranty decision
1 product record
Read the Australian warranty as a claim pathway: the headline term is separate from remedy, labour, freight, site work, transfer and registration conditions.
Hinen B14400-HW Heated 72 kWh · Home battery
Australian evidence checked 2026-08-13.
Covered5 sources
Australian warranty scope: Australia; the Australian datasheet and battery warranty card identify the B14400-HW configurations for a 12-year product and performance term, subject to the earlier applicable throughput endpoint and the published operating conditions.
Structured claim terms: Recorded.
- Term
- 12 yr productStated in the structured comparison
- Product remedy
- ConditionalRepair or replacement at Hinen's discretion, using new or reconditioned parts or an equivalent product under the published terms.
- Labour
- Not coveredInstallation, removal, repair labour and reinstallation are expressly excluded from the factory warranty cost coverage.
- Freight
- Not coveredThe warranty excludes shipping as a factory-warranty entitlement, despite separate language about reasonable claim and replacement-part delivery costs; no unconditional transport score is credited.
- Removal and reinstallation
- Not coveredRemoval and reinstallation costs are excluded.
- Transferability
- CoveredTransfers with the building while the product remains installed.
- Registration and conditions
- Not statedThe claim process requires serial, purchase and installation evidence, and the product must remain network-connected unless the stated exceptions apply.

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.
