Lynx Home F Series — Key Features

95% depth of discharge — exceptional usable energy extraction The Lynx Home F’s 95% DoD is among the highest available for any residential battery in Australia. The 5.4 kWh unit delivers 5.1 kWh of usable energy and the 10.8 kWh unit delivers 10.2 kWh meaning almost all of the battery’s rated capacity is available for daily use. This compares favourably to competing batteries with 90% DoD, which leave a larger unusable reserve and deliver less real-world value per kWh of nominal capacity purchased.

LFP chemistry — cobalt-free and thermally safe for Australian conditions Like all GoodWe batteries, the Lynx Home F uses lithium iron phosphate, a cobalt-free chemistry widely regarded as the safest available for residential installation. LFP cells cannot undergo thermal runaway, making the Lynx Home F a particularly safe choice for Australian homes in hot climate zones. LFP also maintains higher capacity retention over its full operational life compared to NMC chemistries, degrading slowly and predictably across thousands of cycles.

Seamless integration with GoodWe inverters The Lynx Home F is designed for tight integration with GoodWe’s ES and ET series hybrid inverters among the most widely installed hybrid inverters in Australia. For the large number of Australian homes that already have a GoodWe inverter, the Lynx Home F battery is often the simplest and most cost-effective upgrade path to solar-plus-storage, as no inverter replacement is required. The battery connects directly to the existing GoodWe inverter and is immediately recognised by the SEMS monitoring platform.

Clean wall-mount design with low installation complexity The Lynx Home F’s wall-mount profile is compact, tidy, and suitable for garages, laundries, and indoor utility rooms. The unit arrives pre-configured; no on-site stacking, assembly, or additional BMS hardware is required. This simplicity reduces installation time and labour cost compared to multi-module systems, and results in a neater finished installation.

Automatic blackout backup with EPS output When paired with a compatible GoodWe hybrid inverter with EPS (Emergency Power Supply) output enabled, the Lynx Home F provides automatic whole-home backup during a grid outage switching in milliseconds without manual intervention. Solar generation continues to charge the battery during the outage, extending backup duration beyond the stored capacity alone.

SEMS Portal — unified monitoring platform All GoodWe products use the SEMS (Smart Energy Management System) Portal, one of the most mature solar monitoring platforms available in Australia. The SEMS app and web portal provide real-time solar generation, battery state, grid import/export, and detailed historical energy data. GoodWe’s monitoring platform is widely regarded by Australian installers as one of the best available, with reliable data logging, remote diagnostics, and automatic firmware update capability.

Who Is the Lynx Home F For?

The GoodWe Lynx Home F is the right choice for Australian homeowners who:

  • Have a small to medium home on single-phase power with daily consumption of 10–25 kWh
  • Already have a GoodWe ES or ET series hybrid inverter installed and want the simplest battery upgrade

Lynx Home U Series — Key Features

High-voltage architecture for three-phase households The Lynx Home U’s high-voltage design makes it compatible with GoodWe’s HV-capable three-phase hybrid inverters essential for Australian three-phase properties that want whole-property backup and storage integration. High-voltage batteries deliver better round-trip efficiency at high power outputs, making the Lynx Home U better suited to large homes with energy-intensive appliances than the low-voltage Lynx Home F.

13.8 kWh capacity — one of the largest fixed-capacity options in Australia At 13.8 kWh nominal (13.1 kWh usable), the Lynx Home U 13.8 is one of the largest single-unit residential batteries available in Australia. This large capacity eliminates the need for multi-module stacking in most Australian household applications; a single unit meets the overnight storage needs of even large four-to-five bedroom homes with high daily consumption.

Peak power output up to 7.5 kW The Lynx Home U’s peak power of 7.5 kW is higher than most comparable batteries in its class, making it capable of handling high instantaneous loads such as the startup surge of large air conditioning compressors, pool pumps, or workshop machinery without triggering an overload shutdown during a grid outage.

Same SEMS Portal monitoring as the full GoodWe range All Lynx Home U units use the same SEMS Portal app and web platform as the rest of the GoodWe product range, providing a unified monitoring and management experience across the full solar-plus-storage system. SEMS is widely regarded as one of the most reliable and feature-rich monitoring platforms available to Australian homeowners.

95% DoD and LFP safety — same as Lynx Home F Despite the higher voltage architecture, the Lynx Home U delivers the same 95% depth of discharge and uses identical LFP cobalt-free chemistry as the Lynx Home F ensuring the same high usable energy extraction, thermal safety performance, and long cycle life expected from the GoodWe battery range.

Who Is the Lynx Home U For?

The GoodWe Lynx Home U is the right choice for Australian homeowners who:

  • Have three-phase power and need HV battery compatibility for three-phase inverter integration
