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, 13.5 kWh in the scored configuration.13.5 kWh usableScored configuration: Powerwall 3.
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.
Usable capacity sourceDepth-of-discharge sourceCapacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 10
The manufacturer publishes two guaranteed checkpoints - 80.0% at year 5 and 70.0% at year 10 - not a full year-by-year schedule. Capacity figure based on the sourced usable capacity of the base configuration; modular systems scale with additional modules.

Strong evidence coverage
27 of 27 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.

DE Grid and installation context
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- Single-phase 230 V, 50 Hz with Backup Gateway 2. The German sheet rates 4.6 kW / 4.6 kVA continuous AC at 230 V. A footnote stating up to 15.4 kW at 64 A and 240 V is not the German 230 V rating and is not transferred onto the scored Australian 11.04 kW configuration. Site approval remains installation-specific.

- The German energy-library datasheet names Powerwall 3 part 1707000-xx-y. Powerwall 3P part 1988000 and Expansion part 1807000 are separate records and are not merged here. Tesla's consumer tesla.com/de_de/powerwall path returned HTTP 403 from this review environment; the German datasheet and Europe warranty are the publication sources. Manufacturer listing is established; distributor inventory is not inferred. The scored 11.04 kW Australian output is unchanged.
DE Warranty conditions
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- labour: The written Europe warranty does not expressly allocate owner site labour reimbursement.; registration: Registration and reliable internet are required for the full ten-year term. Non-registration or extended disconnection can reduce coverage to four years from first installation.; remedy: Tesla may repair with new or refurbished parts, replace with an equivalent new or refurbished product, or refund the market price of an equivalent product at the time of the claim.; removal reinstallation: Removing and remounting the product at a location other than the original site without Tesla's written consent is excluded. Unconditional removal and reinstallation coverage is not stated.; transferability: A later owner can claim with proof of ownership. Relocation without Tesla's written consent is excluded.; transport: The written Europe warranty does not expressly allocate ordinary owner freight reimbursement.

DE Warranty scope
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- Germany; the Europe Powerwall warranty effective 19 March 2026 names Powerwall 3 part 1707000-xx-x. For Germany it publishes ten years and 80 percent retained capacity with unlimited cycles for solar self-consumption, time-based control and backup, or 37.8 MWh aggregate throughput for other or mixed uses. The Australian overlay on this record remains 70 percent and is not transferred.
