Is this Alpha battery BETTER than Tesla's Powerwall 3?

[@ExpertAmateur-xn6dr]

2C does not mean 2 cell. It relates to charge rate--it can charge at twice it's capacity, so if it can store 1Ah, it can charge at 2A, but it can still only hold 1Ah, it can just charge faster.

Hey, we realise that there was a mistake once we posted, but by the time we realised the video had started getting engagement and we didn't want to have to delete and re-upload 😅😂 Thanks for pointing this out though!

1. Nothing is unique on these. 200% surge load is common on all inverters due to the fact inductive loads and washing machines always pull more than their rated wattage in the first place. 2. The product is over priced unless installation is thrown in. £5000 is the cost of a totally custom inverter set up with 2x, maybe more, of this set up as of November 2024. Aolithium sells 5KW batteries for £700, a hybrid inverter costs not much (£650 for a 5KW) and you can easily, for £5000, make a larger grid tied system. Including the black friday sales, you can get 21KW of batteries for £2100 in the UK with a Sunsynk Ecco for £800 that makes your entire system £2000 cheaper for the same output and twice the capacity, with better warranties. 3. There's also better AIO systems. EPcube has a higher inverter rating, more storage for the same price and is IP67 rated for a lower price as well as a better warranty. There's no reason to purchase this specific system over others and definitely not over other AIOs,

If you have 2x 5kw inverters in parallel, does that give you 4 MPPT ?

[@NevillePrinsloo-g7j]

It does, but then you need the 2 x units to achieve

[@Heatable]

@@Dexter_Reform yes!

[@Dexter_Reform]

@@Heatable What is the cost of 2x 5kw inverters and say 14 or 15kwh or battery storage? I'm comparing price / performance of the Alpha to PW3.

[@NevillePrinsloo-g7j]

So doesn’t do whole house backup, only 2 MPPT’s and not IP67, and less storage so clearly not better than PW3 😂. But yes cheaper and if you have the space you can parallel them. But not really ideal for outside given the temp “constraints” Bit of a hard sell tbf

[@billienomates7100]

yeah it's not great. Better to buy a 5.5KW lifelynk, the 10KW battery and have more for less. Hell, for the price of this, you could have 15KW of battery, a larger inverter and more solar input.

[@NevillePrinsloo-g7j]

@@billienomates7100exactly, WAY more better options out there

[@Heatable]

@@NevillePrinsloo-g7j appreciate the comment! Thermal management is a problem many have apart from Tesla, if it does have to go outside then this should be taken into consideration.

From experience I am not happy with anything out of China. They are still learning what quality control means. History keeps repeating itself. Kiwi

We should all be boycotting ANYTHING related to Musk.

[@Heatable]

Alpha over Tesla for you then? 👀

[@kennethr8322]

Yes!

[@indymind]

Completely agree. Waiting for a dno proposal with heatable which is now past the 45 days.

[@Scott-cu4ol]

your crazy. Elon Musk is the 21 century’s great scientist! Don’t let your politics cloud your judgment

[@paulkearsley9509]

There is nothing of this product better powerwall 3

[@darthsirrius]

I sure hope they're not actually better. I just bought three Powerwall 3s and I didn't even really want to...

[@indymind]

Why did you buy them? Not sure your comment makes sense.
