Some home battery manufacturers have warranty exclusions for coastal installations that prospective beachside-dwelling buyers should be aware of; and even Australians living a little further away.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Anker Solix is a relative newcomer to the Australian residential energy storage scene, and last week showcased its wares at an event held in Sydney. Among the features of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/anker-solix-review.html\">Anker X1 home battery<\/a> is C5-M corrosion rating. According to Anker Solix, the X1 has undergone a 1000-hour neutral salt spray test, surpassing the industry standard of 480 hours.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Unlike some lower anti-corrosion rated products that are limited to urban or industrial settings, the Anker SOLIX X1 system can be confidently installed in coastal and offshore areas without the worry of corrosion,&#8221; says the firm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But Anker Solix excludes defects or parts that need to be replaced due to corrosion or rust according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/salesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/000021797\/en_US\/000021797.pdf\">X1 warranty document<\/a>. It&#8217;s a good thing corrosion isn&#8217;t a worry according to their press release. Should it prove otherwise, the company&#8217;s statement above could be considered an express warranty &#8211; an additional promise a business may make about a product or service that doesn&#8217;t appear in the written warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Corrosion concerns aside, some manufacturers make installation within X distance of the coast a specific warranty exclusion &#8211; and that&#8217;s something coastal battery buyers should check for. Curious as to how common this exclusion is, I flicked through the warranties of a bunch of residential energy storage solutions (but not all) currently listed on SolarQuotes&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">home battery comparison table<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>No Coastal Exclusion Mentioned<\/h2>\n<p>When going through the warranties, I searched for the terms &#8220;salt&#8221;, &#8220;coast&#8221; and &#8220;corrosion&#8221;.
