Dyness vs Itel: Which Lithium Battery Should You Buy?
Dyness vs Itel is a common search for buyers who want a LiFePO4 battery for a home solar system. Dyness is a Chinese battery maker from Suzhou. Itel Energy is part of the Transsion group in China, the same group behind Itel phones. Both brands cover 12V up to 16kW in our catalogue. This page compares them size by size using only the specs we list.

Itel's 24V 200Ah model is unusual: it gives 5kW-class energy on a 24V system. See 24V batteries (24V Lithium Battery).
Warranty and cycles
- Dyness: 6,000 cycles on most 48V models; 8,000 on the DL5.0F and PowerBrick Plus; 4,000 on the DL2.5; 3,000 on the 12V model.
- Itel: 6,000 cycles listed on the IPB-12100, IPL-51100 and IPX-51314SPT. For the IPW-25100, IPW-25200 and IPL-51200, check the datasheet.
- Written warranty: Dyness 10 years on the 48V range. Itel: ask before ordering.
In the 12V size, Itel lists twice the cycles of the Dyness 12V model. In the 48V sizes, Dyness has the clearer written warranty.
Inverter fit
Both brands' 48V models list CAN and RS485 communication, so check your inverter's battery list before buying. The 12V and 24V models from both brands are meant for UPS and small inverters and list no communication port.
If your inverter is not on either list, the battery can still run in voltage mode with the maker's settings. Our settings guide (Lithium Battery Settings for Growatt, Deye, Inverex and Knox) and compatibility guide (Which Lithium Battery Works With My Inverter?) explain how.
Which to pick
- Outdoor or wet place: Dyness PowerDepot G2 (IP66), Powerbox Pro or PowerBrick Plus (IP65).
- Highest cycle rating: Dyness DL5.0F or PowerBrick Plus (8,000).
- 12V UPS battery: Itel IPB-12100 (6,000 cycles listed).
- 24V system that needs more backup: Itel IPW-25200 (5.12 kWh at 24V).
- 16kW for AC at night: Dyness PowerBrick Max or Itel IPX-51314SPT, both 16.07 kWh.
Both are LiFePO4 and both cover the common sizes. Compare the live price on each product page and pick by size, mounting and warranty.
