Michael's LAVO Batteries Review & Verdict
Michael Bloch covers the latest developments in home electrification for SolarQuotes.
Australian firm LAVO turned heads with its hydrogen home battery system. But LAVO also offers a lithium-ion based system that doesn't particularly stand out among other all-in-one solutions currently available for the local residential market.
LAVO Batteries: Pros & Cons
- Designed and manufactured in Australia.

Company Info
LAVO is one of those companies that doesn't have an "about" page, which is pretty disappointing when you want to learn about a firm. No phone number is also disappointing for a company that's selling pricey products.
What we can tell you is LAVO is an Australian company whose main claim to fame was developing a hydrogen storage system in collaboration with the University of New South Wales. SolarQuotes' Ronald Brakels wrote an in-depth review of LAVO's hydrogen battery system back in 2020. It looks as though the company is still tinkering away with it and it's not commercially available currently.
But the firm also produces a conventional home battery based on lithium-ion tech..
LAVO S2 AIO (AIO-10KWH1P2S–CE)
LAVO's S2 AIO is an all-in-one system with a useable storage capacity of 9.7 kWh battery and a 5 kW single-phase hybrid inverter. Based on lithium-ion phosphate chemistry and cells from CATL, this is a modular battery — but there's no information on how much capacity it can be expanded to.
The S2 provides backup capability and can charge from the grid.
The AIO-10KWH1P2S–CE has dimensions of 730 × 203 × 1270 mm and weighs 122 kg. With an IP65 rating, this battery can be installed outdoors or indoors. It has an operating temperature range of -10°C~ +50°C, with derating occurring above 45°C.
Warranty Details
LAVO offers a 10-year warranty, but doesn't provide details of minimum battery capacity at the end of that time or minimum throughput in its warranty document.
