Power Output
The EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah delivers 10.24 kW continuous and 15.36 kW peak power, while the EG4 WallMount Indoor 314Ah provides 10.24 kW continuous and 12.8 kW peak. Matched power output means both can run the same combination of appliances simultaneously. Peak power rating matters for motor-driven loads with high startup current, such as air conditioners, well pumps, and sump pumps. The EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah's 15.36 kW peak is capable of starting most residential HVAC systems.
Battery Chemistry & Cycle Life
The EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah uses LFP chemistry with a rated cycle life of 8,000 cycles (approximately 21.9 years of daily cycling), while the EG4 WallMount Indoor 314Ah uses LFP with 10,000 cycles (approximately 27.4 years). Both use LFP chemistry, which is considered the gold standard for residential energy storage due to its inherent safety, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. The EG4 WallMount Indoor 314Ah's additional 2,000 cycles translates to approximately 5.5 more years of daily use before reaching the rated end of life.
Round-Trip Efficiency
The EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah achieves 95% round-trip efficiency versus 95% for the EG4 WallMount Indoor 314Ah. Identical round-trip efficiency means both batteries lose the same proportion of stored energy to heat during each charge-discharge cycle. Higher round-trip efficiency is especially valuable in time-of-use rate environments where you are storing cheap off-peak energy for expensive peak-hour consumption.
Warranty & Long-Term Protection
The EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah carries a 10-year warranty and 82.6 MWh throughput, while the EG4 WallMount Indoor 314Ah offers 10 years and 115.7 MWh throughput. Both offer identical warranty duration. Battery warranties typically guarantee the unit will retain 60-70% of original capacity by end of warranty, so the length of coverage directly impacts your financial risk over the system's lifetime.
