Dyness vs Soluna: Which Lithium Battery Is Better?
Dyness vs Soluna is a comparison between two imported Chinese lithium battery brands. Dyness has a wide range in our catalogue. Soluna has two models: a 5kW wall battery and a 16kW floor battery. Since those are the two sizes most solar homes buy, this page compares them head to head.

Quick overview
- Origin: Dyness, Suzhou, China; Soluna, imported from China.
- Chemistry: LiFePO4 for both.
- Range here: Dyness 11 models; Soluna 2 models.
- Warranty: Dyness 10 years on all 48V models; Soluna 5 years on the BES 5 and 10 years on the Venus 16.
- Cycles: Dyness 6,000 to 8,000; Soluna lists no cycle figure, so check the datasheet.
See Dyness (Dyness Lithium Battery prices) and Soluna (Soluna Lithium Battery prices).
Sizes we stock
- 5kW: Soluna BES 5 (5.12 kWh, 100Ah, wall). Dyness DL5.0C, DL5.0C Pro, DL5.0F and PowerDepot G2 (all 5.12 kWh, wall).
- 16kW: Soluna Venus 16 (16.07 kWh, 314Ah, floor). Dyness PowerBrick Max, SC LCD and Plus (16.07 kWh, floor).
- Other sizes: only Dyness, with 12V, 24V, 10kW (Powerbox Pro) and 14.28 kWh (PowerBrick 14.3).
In the two shared sizes, capacity is the same. The difference is warranty, cycles and protection.
Warranty and cycles
- 5kW: Dyness lists 10 years and 6,000 cycles (8,000 on DL5.0F). Soluna BES 5 lists 5 years.
- 16kW: Dyness lists 10 years and 6,000 cycles (8,000 on PowerBrick Plus). Soluna Venus 16 lists 10 years.
- Protection: Dyness PowerDepot G2 is IP66 and PowerBrick Plus is IP65. Soluna lists no IP rating.
At 16kW the warranty is equal. At 5kW, Dyness lists the longer term.
Inverter fit
Both brands' 48V batteries list CAN and RS485 communication. Check your inverter's battery list for the exact model before buying. If your inverter is not listed, voltage mode with the maker's settings still works.
See the compatibility guide (Which Lithium Battery Works With My Inverter?).
Which to pick
- 5kW with the longest written warranty: Dyness DL5.0C or DL5.0F.
- Outdoor install: Dyness PowerDepot G2 (IP66) or PowerBrick Plus (IP65).
- 16kW with a 10-year warranty: Soluna Venus 16 or Dyness PowerBrick Max.
- Need 12V, 24V or 10kW: Dyness, since Soluna has none here.
At 16kW both are fair picks, so let the live price decide.
