About Bytewatt Neovolt

Bytewatt Neovolt's CEC Suspension

Bytewatts Neovolt's Clean Energy Council (CEC) Suspension from the Cheaper Home Batteries Program (federal battery rebate): On 7 September 2026, the CEC announced that 7 models of Neovolt batteries will be suspended from 15 September. The models are:

• BW-BAT-9.6P
• BW-BAT-9.6P I
• BW-BAT-9.6P II
• BW-BAT-9.6 III
• BW-BAT-9.6P IV
• BW-BAT-9.6P V
• BW-BAT-9.6 VI

The reason for the suspension is battery nameplate labels indicated the company was supplying variants different from those that had been tested and certified by the CEC. It is not due to a product recall or any known safety issue. From the 15th, suspended batteries will be unable to receive STCs as part of the federal battery rebate scheme. Bytewatt Neovolt will have 3 months to address the issues leading to the suspension. If they fail, the battery models will be delisted. Here is a link to the CEC notice.

It's a 10.1kWh battery (9.6kWh usable capacity) based on Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry with the choice of two inverter capacities - 3.6kW (BW-INV-SPH3.6K) and 5kW (BW-INV-SPH5K). The Neovolt can provide surge backup power of 7.36kW or 10kW depending on the inverter model in use, and up to 6 systems can be linked in parallel.

Neovolt Warranty Details

Bytewatt provides a standard product warranty of 120 months (10 years). The company also warrants that the Neovolt will retain at least eighty percent (80%) of its usable capacity for the warranty duration . Among the preconditions of the performance warranty are that the ambient temperature during operation does not fall below -10 °C or exceed 50 °C. Additionally, the throughput energy per kWh must be less than 3MWh.

Being a new-ish battery for Australia, we're keen to read reviews from local customers who have taken the plunge and installed a Neovolt.
