| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 5.0 kWh usable per module. SBH100 10.0 kWh (2 modules), SBH150 15.0, SBH200 20.0, SBH250 25.0, SBH300 30.0, SBH350 35.0, SBH400 40.0 kWh (8 modules). Test conditions: 25 °C, 100% depth of discharge, 0.2C |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), prismatic cells |
| Depth of dischargeHow much of the battery can be emptied without harming it. 90% means 10% is kept in reserve. | Maximum 100%, settable |
| 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. | Not stated on the datasheet or product page |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | 2 to 8 modules per unit and up to 4 units in parallel (160 kWh). Plug and play, no cables between modules |
| Power | |
| Charge and discharge powerHow fast the battery can take in and give out energy. It sets how many devices it can serve at once. | Maximum continuous current 50 A. Nominal voltage 140.8 V (SBH100) to 563.2 V (SBH400); Sungrow says maximum power exceeds 25 kW |
| Round-trip efficiencyThe share of the energy you put in that comes back out. The rest is lost as heat. | Not stated on the datasheet |
| Backup in a power cutWhether it can keep selected circuits running during a grid outage. | Not stated: backup depends on the Sungrow inverter system it is connected to |
| Solar | |
| Solar inverterTurns the DC power from solar panels into AC for the home. Built in means no separate solar inverter is needed. | None: this is the battery only. Sungrow says it works with various hybrid inverter types and its SHT system; models are not listed here |
| Solar and off-grid | |
| Works with solar panelsWhether you can charge it from solar panels. Yes means a built-in solar input or a compatible solar setup; read the detail for the voltage and power limits. | Partly: DC-coupled to a compatible Sungrow hybrid inverter; the battery has no panel input of its own. |
| Off-grid useWhether the maker describes it running with no grid connection at all, for example in a cabin, van or off-grid home. Backup only means it covers power cuts but needs the grid the rest of the time. | Partly: backup during a power cut depends on the connected Sungrow inverter system; Sungrow's page does not describe stand-alone off-grid use. |
| Connection and housing | |
| Grid connectionThe supply type it is built for. Check it matches your home's supply. | Not applicable: the battery connects to an inverter (high-voltage DC) |
| Dimensions (W × H × D)Width, height and depth of the unit, so you can check that it fits. | SBH100: 675 × 580 × 350 mm; the height grows with the module count (SBH400: 675 × 1,540 × 350 mm) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | SBH100: 106 kg; SBH150 151 kg; SBH200 196 kg; SBH400 376 kg (module 45 kg) |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | IP55; indoor or outdoor; floor-stand mounting; natural convection cooling; humidity 0 to 95% without condensation; altitude up to 2,000 m |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Charging 0 to 50 °C; discharging -20 to 50 °C |
| Battery heatingA built-in heater that lets the battery charge in cold weather. | Not stated |
| ConnectivityHow you monitor and control it, usually through an app. | CAN communication; SOC and status indicators on the unit |
| CertificationsSafety and grid standards the maker says the product meets. | CE, CEC, IEC 62619, IEC 62040, UN 38.3, VDE 2510-50, IEC 62477, IEC 63056 |
| Warranty | |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 10 years, subject to the conditions in Sungrow's battery warranty letter |

Where this information comes from
We have not tested this battery. Every figure above comes from Sungrow's SBH100-400 datasheet (Version 4, 2024) and its product page, last checked on 11 November 2026. The datasheet was read as extracted text and its warranty line refers to a separate warranty letter that we have not read. A value that the sources do not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they depend on the installer's quote.
