Architecture describes the product boundary. It is not a system design or an equipment-pairing decision.

Usable capacity

96.67% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 5.8 kWh in the scored configuration.

5.8 kWh usableScored configuration: MGL060.

The remaining 3.33% 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.

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. The score uses one MGL060 at the 5.8 kWh usable capacity named on the Version 3 APAC/MEA sheet. Parallel quantity of 16 is a different configuration. MG6RL is a different identity. Scored model: MGL060 · checked 2026-09-04. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

23 of 23 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.
