Most batteries in the market today offer a standard DOD of 80%. However, advanced systems like Greensolutions E10,E5 now offer a 95% DOD for homeowners, allowing you to use more of the battery’s capacity in each cycle for a powerful power use. Here’s how a 95% DOD battery outshines the 80% option in practical, real-world scenarios in your daily life:

1. More Usable Energy Day-to-Day

With a 95% DOD, you can access up to 95% of your battery’s stored energy before needing to recharge. For example, in a 5 kWh battery, a 95% DOD translates to 4.75 kWh of usable energy versus only 4 kWh with an 80% DOD. This means a 95% DOD battery can support household needs longer and more effectively, providing extended power for essential appliances, such as AC, lighting, or heating during outages or overnight.

2. Capacity Retention Over Time

Over a 10-year warranty period, every battery will experience some degree of capacity loss. An 80% DOD battery may degrade to around 50% of its initial capacity over time, which means that a 5 kWh battery would only provide about 2.5 kWh of usable energy after 10 years. This reduced capacity may not be sufficient to meet a typical family’s overnight energy needs, leading to performance issues or a need for early replacement than expectation.

By comparison, a 95% DOD battery is designed to retain a larger percentage of its capacity over time—often up to 70% even after 10 years. In a 5 kWh battery, this would mean around 3.5 kWh of usable energy, providing more reliable overnight power and better long-term usability for everyday needs.

3. Long-Term Value and Efficiency

A 95% DOD battery is not only more efficient but also provides greater long-term value. The ability to access more stored energy every cycle reduces the need for frequent recharges, which minimizes stress on the battery and prolongs its usable life. For families aiming to maximize every kilowatt-hour stored, this extra flexibility and durability offer significant peace of mind during the night and use for backup.

4. Optimized Storage for Space-Constrained Homes

High-DOD batteries allow for higher energy usage without needing additional battery units, making them especially beneficial for households with limited storage space. This efficient design ensures you can get the most out of your storage system without overcrowding your home with additional equipment.

Let’s Wrap it up

A 95% DOD battery offers not only more usable energy in the short term but additionally better capacity retention over time for years of lasting, standing out as an ideal choice for households looking for a dependable energy solution that bear the test of time, supporting your family’s energy needs reliably day and night.

So, when selecting a battery for your home, consider the long-term benefits of a high-DOD option—it’s an investment in sustainable, dependable energy that provides you with both flexibility and peace of mind.
