The Clock Is Ticking for BYD’s Legacy Battery Box Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Time waits for no one, which certainly rings true with solar and battery technology. BYD is set to stop manufacturing materials for some of their older battery systems. The main items on the discontinuation list are the B-Plus 2.5kWh modules, the B-Box Pro 13.8, and the associated cabinets.<\/p>\n

Act Now to Expand Your Solar Battery Storage<\/h2>\n

You still have a small window of opportunity to place your orders. Until December 31st, 2023, these components will be available to order, but here’s the catch – most Australian solar companies are heading into holiday mode, wrapping up for the Christmas break on December 22nd. So, in reality, this date becomes your de facto deadline for processing any last-minute orders.<\/p>\n

This end-of-production announcement is a great example of a company putting customers first. When many have pulled the pin quietly or just announced that existing stock is all left, BYD has ensured that nobody should be left behind.<\/p>\n

So for existing BYD battery customers, if you’re currently using the 13.8’s or 2.5’s, now is the perfect time to get on and do the expansion you’ve always been thinking about. Make the call early and ensure you get in before the dreaded Christmas rush.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hats off to BYD for their commendable product longevity. I started using the BYD 2.5kWh modules in 2014, and remarkably, they’re still available nearly a decade later. It’s a testament to the enduring quality that BYD has consistently offered, but as we all know, all good things must eventually end. And for these BYD batteries, that end is nigh.<\/p>\n

What About Warranty?<\/h2>\n

Without being too pessimistic, it’s worth considering that if you do buy legacy BYD batteries<\/a> this year, there is a 10-year tail in terms of warranty obligation from BYD. If you suffer an unfortunate failure with the new or old batteries, the entire set may need to be replaced. Whatever your remaining warranty is may not be offered as a replacement unit (as they’re no longer made). Instead, it could be paid out pro-rata, leaving you with some unusable second-hand batteries and a small sum of cash. It’s worth quizzing your supplier about your particular installation about the warranty.<\/p>\n
