Arvio - Battery Reviews

About Arvio

Arvio is an Australian energy storage company based in Victoria that previously offered a "supercapacitor" system. These days it seems to be just focused on Lithium Titanate chemistry batteries. Beyond that, we have little information on the company as its website reveals little about the firm.

Arvio's Kilowatt Labs Sirius "Supercapacitor"

Arvio created a stir back in 2018 when it launched a "supercapacitor" pseudobattery system using Kilowatt Labs Sirius modules with a 3.55 kilowatt-hour capacity each. There were many questions and much controversy regarding it and availability in Australia was short-lived.

Arvio Titan

The next product from Arvio, which appears to be still available, is the Titan - a battery rather than a supercapacitor system. The Titan uses lithium titanate battery chemistry, which is also used by another Australian company that we know of; Zenaji. According to Arvio, after 14,000 cycles (which it says is equivalent to 34 years of battery use) there was no degradation or loss of performance. Arvio also claims a Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE) of under five cents per kWh.

As at March 2025, the Titan is not listed as an approved battery by the Clean Energy Council; so it wouldn't be eligible for some state incentive programs.

Warranty Details

The Kilowatt Labs Sirius module based system came with a full 10 year, unlimited cycles warranty; covering everything including the inverter, charge controller, "supercapacitors",  cabinet, connections and electronics. The Titan, when sold as an all-in-one system,  appears to be accompanied by a similar warranty.

But the company says:

"Generally, warranty claims will still require a support fee be paid, where the goods may be covered under the manufacturers warranty terms."

As at March 2025, the initial support fee is $200.00 including GST. But note that in Australia, businesses cannot make consumers pay for remedies that are equivalent to their basic consumer guarantee rights. It's also worth noting that the Arvio website states its "batteries are designed to last 34+ years", which could be considered an express warranty. An express warranty is a promise made by a business about the quality or performance of a product or service. It doesn't need to be in warranty documentation - it can be made verbally or in writing elsewhere (such as a website).

If you've had an Arvio battery or "supercapacitor" system installed, we'd be curious to hear how it's going - leave a review.
