BYD Battery Storage

About BYD

BYD ('Build Your Dreams') is a Chinese manufacturing giant founded in 1995, originally specialising in rechargeable batteries for mobile phones. Since then BYD has expanded into the zero-emission energy market, producing everything from electric cars, bikes, buses and forklifts to solar panels and battery storage for phones, homes, and EVs.

BYD is regarded as one of the most innovative companies in the world, particularly for its work advancing battery technology. BYD holds the top spot in Germany for residential energy storage and is in the top three in Europe, with more than 12GWh shipped globally.

BYD battery overview

BYD manufactures an array of different lithium batteries, focusing on LFP (lithium iron phosphate) for stationary applications. LFP is recognised as one of the safest battery chemistries, with a thermal runaway temperature of over 480°C, making it suitable for most residential and commercial settings. All BYD Battery-Box products are cobalt-free.

Many of the battery ranges are modular, so sizing can be scaled to suit different projects.

BYD high voltage (HV) range:

• HVS — scalable from 5.1–12.8kWh per unit, with up to 3 units connectable in parallel for a maximum capacity of 38.4kWh. Compatible with leading high-voltage inverters including Fronius, SMA, SolarEdge, and Victron. GivEnergy
• HVM — scalable from 8.1–22.1kWh per unit, with up to 3 units connectable in parallel for a maximum capacity of 66.2kWh. Better suited to larger installations requiring higher capacity in a single system. Powerland
• HVS+ and HVM+ — updated versions of the HVS and HVM with an upgraded battery control unit and simplified one-click configuration.
• HVB — BYD's newest high-voltage product, using their Blade Battery cell format developed for their EV range, bringing automotive-grade cell technology to home storage.

BYD low voltage (LV) range:

• LVS — scalable from 4–256kWh, compatible with most single and three-phase inverters
• LVL — scalable from 15.4kWh up to approximately 983kWh, suitable for larger commercial and industrial applications
