Not tested by us

We have not tested the myenergi libbi. The figures on this page come from the sources listed at the end of the page, checked on 10 November 2026, and we do not show prices. "Best for" is based on what the maker says the product is designed for, not on our own tests.

Specifications

Last checked on 10 November 2026. The grey text under each name explains what the value means.

SpecificationValue
Storage
CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later.5.12 kWh per module; models from 5 to 20 kWh in 5 kWh steps
Usable capacityThe part of the stored energy you can actually use. It is lower than the nominal capacity.4.6 kWh per module
Depth of dischargeHow much of the battery can be emptied without harming it. 90% means 10% is kept in reserve.90%
Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat.LFP (LiFePO4)
Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity.The datasheet gives no cycle number: it says "unlimited", subject to warranty criteria
ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system.Up to four 5 kWh modules in parallel: 20 kWh in total
Power
AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this.3,680 W (3.68 kW models) or 5,000 W (5 kW models), 230 V
Peak outputA short burst above the continuous rating, for example to start a motor. It cannot be held.6,900 VA for 10 seconds
Charge and discharge powerHow fast the battery can take in and give out energy. It sets how many devices it can serve at once.With one module: 2,825 W charge and 4,000 W discharge. With two to four modules on the 5 kW model: 4,600 W charge and 5,000 W discharge.
Round-trip efficiencyThe share of the energy you put in that comes back out. The rest is lost as heat.Not stated. The datasheet gives a maximum PV efficiency of 97.6%.
Backup in a power cutWhether it can keep selected circuits running during a grid outage.Optional blackout backup to a dedicated socket or lighting circuit; no backup power rating is listed
Solar
Solar inverterTurns the DC power from solar panels into AC for the home. Built in means no separate solar inverter is needed.Built in (hybrid)
Solar inputsThe number of panel strings it can track separately (MPPT) and the total DC power.2 MPPT inputs, 80-560 V; up to 5,520 W of panels (3.68 kW model) or 7,500 W (5 kW model), with the latest firmware
Connection and housing
Grid connectionThe supply type it is built for. Check it matches your home's supply.230 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Dimensions (W × H × D)Width, height and depth of the unit, so you can check that it fits.Inverter 540 × 590 × 240 mm; each battery module 540 × 490 × 240 mm
WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it.Inverter 32 kg; each battery module 54 kg
Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance.IP65 for the inverter and the battery module
Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance.Battery -10 to 50 °C; inverter -25 to 60 °C, with reduced output above 45 °C
Noise levelFan noise while working.Below 25 dB (inverter)
ConnectivityHow you monitor and control it, usually through an app.Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), Ethernet and RS485 on the controller; 868/915 MHz link to other myenergi devices
CertificationsSafety and grid standards the maker says the product meets.Includes G98/G99, IEC 62619 and UN 38.3
Warranty
WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ.Not stated on the datasheet

Rules where you live

An installed battery normally needs a qualified electrician, and in many countries you must also tell your grid operator, especially if it can export. Rules, incentives and tax treatment differ by country: see our country guides for what applies where you live.

Strengths and things to check

Strengths

  • Modular: add 5 kWh modules up to 20 kWh
  • Hybrid inverter with two solar inputs
  • IP65 and below 25 dB for the inverter
  • Designed to work with other myenergi products

Worth checking before you buy

  • The datasheet does not state a warranty or a round-trip efficiency
  • Backup is optional and the datasheet gives no backup power rating
  • Each battery module weighs 54 kg
  • myenergi has since announced libbi 2, which this page does not cover

Change log

We record changes to this page here, so you can see when figures such as the warranty were last updated.

Page published. The datasheet we read (revision C, October 2023) does not state a warranty, so none is shown.

Where this information comes from

We have not tested the libbi. Every figure above comes from myenergi's libbi datasheet (revision C, October 2023), last checked on 10 November 2026. myenergi has announced a libbi 2 with different specifications, which this page does not cover. A value that the datasheet does not state is shown as not stated.

We do not show prices, because they depend on the installer's quote.

Common questions about myenergi libbi

How much can the libbi store?

Each battery module holds 5.12 kWh, of which 4.6 kWh is usable at 90% depth of discharge. myenergi lists models from one to four modules, up to 20 kWh.

Does the libbi have a solar inverter?

Yes. It has a built-in hybrid inverter of 3.68 kW or 5 kW with two solar inputs, so panels can connect to it directly.

Does the libbi work in a power cut?

myenergi lists optional blackout backup to a dedicated socket or lighting circuit and gives no backup power rating. Whether a battery pays back depends on your tariff: see our guide to home batteries without solar panels.

Does a modular battery fit your home?
