Buyer's Guide & FAQs
LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is the modern standard. It offers the longest lifespan (4000-7000+ cycles), superior safety, and is more efficient. While the upfront cost is higher, the incredible durability makes the long-term value unmatched.
Capacity (kWh) is your total stored energy. Depth of Discharge (DoD) is how much you can safely use. A 5kWh lithium battery with 100% DoD gives you 5kWh of usable energy. An older 5kWh lead-acid battery with 50% DoD only gives you 2.5kWh. Lithium provides far more usable power.
This is the most important factor for your investment. A battery with 6000 cycles will last years longer than one with 1500 cycles. A higher cycle life means a lower cost per kWh over the battery's lifetime.
It depends on your needs. A single 5kWh battery can cover essentials (lights, WiFi, TV, fridge) during load-shedding. A larger 10kWh+ system can power more appliances or provide full off-grid capability. A professional load assessment from Sona Solar Zimbabwe is the best way to get an exact size.
