Everything youâve ever wanted to know about battery adoptionâand maybe a few things you havenât thought to ask yet.
⸝
Youâre adopting a genuine Tesla EV battery packâusually from a Model Y or Model 3âthatâs been safely retired from life on the road. These packs still have years of high-performance energy storage left in them, and instead of heading to recycling, theyâre ready for a calmer life powering your home or business.
⸝
Big. Most of our packs are around 60â80âŻkWh, which is 4 to 5 times the capacity of a Powerwall. Thatâs enough to run a home for a few days, charge an EV, or support a small business during a blackout.
⸝
Great questionâand weâre fussy about it too. Every battery is:
⢠Individually tested
⢠Comes with a full health report
⢠Retains the original Tesla Battery Management System (BMS)
⢠Assessed for physical condition and electrical integrity
Youâll know the exact state of the battery youâre adoptingâno guesswork.
⸝
Well it depends on your local electricity distributor. We have been approved by Energex (Brisbane and SE Queensland network) for grid tired installations that include exporting.
We supply the required documentation for the connection application.
⸝
We work with a trusted network of licensed solar and battery installers who are familiar with our systems. If you donât already have an installer, weâll connect you with someone who knows what theyâre doing and can handle everything from inverter upgrades to compliance with AS/NZS 5139.
⸝
It depends on your setup! If you already have a hybrid-compatible inverter, youâre halfway there. If not, we can help recommend an inverter upgrade (like a Fronius GEN24) that integrates perfectly with our system.
⸝
Absolutelyâmany adopters are using our batteries to achieve full or near-off-grid living, especially in rural and semi-rural areas. Just keep in mind that total off-grid depends on your solar size, backup loads, and energy habits. Weâll help you figure out whatâs realistic for your site.
⸝
At this stage, our batteries arenât eligible for government rebates because theyâre second-life and not on the CEC-approved battery list. But hereâs the thing: even without the rebate, our systems often deliver more storage at a lower total cost than new retail batteries.
⸝
Each battery is unique and has its own story to tell. Although all batteries are tested and ready to join your family we price the batteries based on condition, we can find a battery that will fit your budget. A ballpark price is $15,000 battery + $2000 stand.
⸝
Yes! Dual-battery setups are possible, and weâre currently refining the best way to integrate multiple packs safely and efficiently. If youâve got serious storage needs (like charging multiple EVs), letâs talk.
⸝
Because we believe these batteries still have a lot to giveâand deserve a second chance at a useful life. Youâre not just buying hardware; youâre rescuing premium tech and giving it a calm, productive retirement from the road.
⸝
Most of the day-to-day informationâlike your battery charge level, solar production, and power usageâcan be viewed directly in your inverterâs mobile app. This gives you a simple, real-time view of whatâs happening with your system, whether youâre at home or away. For those who want to dive a bit deeper, we also provide access to a web-based battery interface, which shows more technical data like:
⢠Cell voltage spread
⢠Pack temperature
⢠State of charge
⢠CAN system status
This interface is accessible via Wi-Fi when youâre near the battery, and is most useful for troubleshooting or detailed diagnostics. So whether youâre a casual energy user or a data nerd, thereâs a way to keep an eye on your adopted battery.
