Finn's Huawei Batteries Review & Verdict
Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO
Huawei used to be on my recommended home batteries list. The only reason it was removed is that Huawei batteries are no longer sold here. The good news: the Australian-owned iStore is. The iStore battery is compatible with Huawei batteries and made by Huawei, but sold and supported by SolarGain, who are headquartered in Perth.
Huawei Batteries: Pros & Cons
- Backed by a huge company
- Comparatively affordable
- Good quality
- No longer sold in Australia (but the fully compatible iStore is)
- Short warranty on backup box

Huawei Luna 2000 Battery
The Huawei Luna 2000 battery was introduced to the Australian market in May 2021. It was a modular energy storage system designed for residential solar applications, with each module offering 5 kWh of storage capacity that could be stacked up to three units high, for a maximum capacity of 15 kWh per stack. However, two stacks could be connected in parallel, providing a maximum capacity of 30 kWh.
Each 5 kWh module delivers up to 2.5 kW of continuous power, while while two or more can provide 5 kilowatts. An integrated energy optimizer manages each module independently. When paired with Huawei's backup box, this provides power capabilities during grid outages.
The Luna 2000 was designed to integrate with Huawei's (and now iStore's) single-phase and three-phase hybrid inverters.
You can read more about this solution in Ronald's Luna 2000 home battery review.
Warranty Information
As mentioned, Huawei is still supporting Australian owners with warranty remaining.
The warranty for the Luna 2000 power module is 10 years. Battery modules have a 10 year warranty or until 16,450 kilowatt-hours throughput energy (per module) is achieved; with allowable degradation down 60% of original capacity at the end of 10 years. Backup Box warranty is only 2 years.
