What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Usable capacity
95% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 13.68 kWh in the scored configuration.13.68 kWh usableScored configuration: SH-G3-BE with three Pylontech US5000 and SH6000-G3. Published range 9.12–18.24 kWh.
The remaining 5% stays in the pack as reserve; the home never draws it.
Nominal capacity is not stated here. The usable kWh and the depth-of-discharge percentage are sourced separately, at times from different documents and different module counts, so dividing one by the other would produce a nominal figure no manufacturer published.
Usable capacity sourceDepth-of-discharge source 1Depth-of-discharge source 2Capacity 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
67 / 100#35 of 90 batteriesPartial (essential loads)
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.

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.
Benchmark anchor. Scored on the three-module reference configuration; the published range describes two to four modules. Redback's website markets up to 51.2 kWh, which its own data sheet does not support and which is not credited. Scored model: SH-G3-BE with three Pylontech US5000 and SH6000-G3 · checked 2026-08-03.

Strong evidence coverage
28 of 28 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.

Value

- Not credited, because the available figures conflict and none is stated to the rubric's retained-capacity endpoint. The Redback-hosted Pylontech US-series specification publishes greater than 8,000 cycles at 25 C to an unstated end-of-life threshold, while review.solar's own Pylontech US5000B record carries 6,000. Publishing either as a Redback system rating would assert a figure the sources do not agree on.

- No round-trip efficiency is published. The data sheet publishes a maximum battery-to-load efficiency of 93.51%, which is a one-way conversion figure and is deliberately not credited as a round-trip result.
