Finn's Ambrion Batteries Review & Verdict

Who the heck is Ambrion, you may well ask. That's a really good question because the Ambrion website reveals very little about the company behind it. There are no contact details aside from a contact form, or even any warranty details beyond "10 years." We had to dig around elsewhere for this information.
On the datasheet from the Ambrion website for the Raybox HS2 battery, the "Made In China" reference is in tiny white text on a white background right at the bottom of the second page—so it’s invisible. What’s with that? Some good solar batteries (but also some garbage) are made in China.
Maybe it was a mistake, but none of this inspires confidence. I recommend skipping over Ambrion and looking at battery brands that are more transparent and have a solid home energy storage track record in Australia.
Ambrion Batteries: Pros & Cons
- Lack of information and installer/customer feedback
- Conflicting performance warranty details.

Ambrion Raybox HS2 Solar Battery
Manufactured in China, the Ambrion Raybox HS2 is touted as an all-in-one solution that uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells. AC-coupled, it has a maximum 16A input current. It's a modular solution, expandable up to 20kWh using Ambrion Raybox BU2-5.0-HV1/5 units (up to 4 battery modules).
It has a UPS function switch time of less than 10ms, and depending on the model, rated AC power output ranges from 3kW to 6kW. The Ambrion Raybox HS2 has an operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C (>45°C derating)
Monitoring features are offered via the SolarPlant app.
Warranty Information
A warranty document we sighted on the SolarBOS web site indicates the firm provides a standard warranty period of 10 years on the Ambrion Raybox HS2 from the date of commissioning, or 10 years and 6 months from the date of shipment; whichever comes earlier.
SolarBos Pty Ltd also guarantees the battery will retain sixty percent (but also indicates 70% on the same document) of its nominal capacity for 10 years from the commissioning date; or 3.06 MWh per kWh minimum throughput energy
