AGL Energy Ltd., Australia’s biggest power producer, said it would debut a 6 kilowatt-hour home storage battery, challenging Tesla Motors Inc. which announced 7- and 10-kWh models Friday.
AGL’s suitcase-sized battery will use lithium-ion cells and come with extended warranties and finance plans to make it affordable, the company said in a website statement. It’ll be suitable for a family home with solar panels providing 3 to 4.5 kilowatts of power, AGL said. It’s the first such product to be offered by an Australian energy retailer.
