Meet Hinen Inverter, battery and controls in one slim unit that plugs together on install day.
- All-in-one, just 180 mm deep
The A-series puts the inverter, battery modules, controls and battery management in one 180 mm unit, rated IP65 for indoors or out.
- Plugs together, no extra cables
The battery stack uses plug-in connections with no additional cable, which Hinen says halves installation time.
- Fast switch to backup
Backup circuits move to battery power in 10 milliseconds or less, and keep running during software updates, Hinen says.
Only circuits wired as backup loads switch over, so ask which ones are included.
- 10 years, 80% capacity kept
Hinen's Australian warranty card keeps the B5000, BH7700 and B8900M batteries at 80% or more of usable capacity for 10 years.
The B14400 is covered for 12 years at 70%. Ask your installer to confirm they're Hinen-certified; the warranty requires it.

Is Hinen right for your home? Fit and warranty checks
A good fit if…
- Households that want a single slim unit with inverter and battery in one housing
- Budget-led buyers who still want layered safety features in the hardware
- Cold-climate sites where a self-heating pack solves a real winter problem
- Homes building new solar and battery together, where the Hinen hybrid is a fresh choice
Consider the limitations
- You want to keep an existing non-Hinen inverter — every Hinen battery pairs with Hinen’s own hybrid
- You want a long Australian operating history behind the warranty
- You want the deepest possible pool of local installers who have commissioned the brand before
- You would rather not make cloud registration part of the deal
The Hinen range
B5000 and B8900M modules
Low-voltage blocks in parallel, or high-voltage modules in stacks
The same battery sold without the inverter, for pairing with a Hinen hybrid.
B14400-H / B14400-HW floor pack
Larger high-voltage packs in parallel, heater optional
The HW version adds battery heating for cold sites; both carry a built-in aerosol extinguisher and DC breaker.
Hinen specifications and source documents
Hinen sells two shapes of system in Australia. The A-series is an all-in-one: a hybrid inverter, stacked battery modules, control box and battery management in one slim floor-standing unit, single-phase in two output sizes and a three-phase version above them. The home-battery range is the same modules sold separately — a stackable low-voltage block, a high-voltage module that stacks in threes, and a larger high-voltage floor pack with an optional cold-climate heater — all of which pair with Hinen’s own hybrid inverters and nothing else. The parent group is a listed Chinese electronics manufacturer whose energy arm only formed in 2022, and the Australian office in North Sydney opened the following year, so the product is more mature than the local support history.
- Current Hinen line-up in Australia: B5000 / B5000-W (4.6 kWh usable), BH7700A (7 kWh usable), B8900M-HA (8.087 kWh usable), B14400-H / B14400-HW (13.68 kWh usable). Source
- Hinen pairs with its own hybrid inverter: new solar-and-battery installs use one unit; a retrofit means replacing the existing inverter. Source
- Usable capacity runs from 4.6 kWh to 68.4 kWh. Source
- Capacity can be added later without replacing the inverter. Source
- The manufacturer warranty is 10 years, with 80% of original capacity guaranteed at the end of it. Source
- It works with Hinen's own inverters only. Source
- Listed models are on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list. Source
- Hinen requires a manufacturer-certified installer for the warranty to hold. Source
- Hinen’s Clean Energy Council listed batteries are eligible hardware for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, a discount the government reviews at least annually and steps down over the life of the program — the listed usable capacity of the model installed is what the discount is calculated on.

Hinen questions, answered
- Who is Hinen, and how long has it been in Australia?
- Hinen is the energy arm of a listed Chinese electronics manufacturer; SolarQuotes records the group dating back to 2004, the new-energy business forming in 2022 and the Australian entry in late 2023, with an office in North Sydney. The hardware carries the safety features of a mature product, but the local service history is short, which is the main caveat in every review.
- Is Hinen eligible for the federal battery rebate?
- Hinen’s B5000, BH7700, B8900M and B14400 batteries appear on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list, the hardware gate for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The install still has to qualify: solar connected, usable capacity inside the program band, an SAA-accredited installer, and no earlier claim at the address. Ask for the exact model string on the quote.
- What is the difference between the A-series and the B-series?
- The A-series is the all-in-one: inverter, battery modules, control box and management in one slim housing, single-phase or three-phase. The B-series is the same battery modules sold separately for pairing with a Hinen hybrid inverter. The choice is about the house — whether one tall unit fits where you want it — more than about the cells, which are shared.
- Can I use a Hinen battery with the inverter I already have?
- Not under warranty. Hinen’s inverter compatibility statement lists its own hybrid inverters only, and its warranty excludes systems built with non-Hinen equipment. On a new install that removes a decision; on a retrofit it means the existing inverter comes out, which a good quote will show plainly as a swap rather than fold into the price.
- What is the heated HW pack for?
- The B14400-HW adds battery heating so the pack keeps charging and discharging in genuinely cold conditions, where an unheated lithium battery slows down to protect itself. In most Australian towns it is unnecessary; in alpine and tableland locations it solves a real winter problem. A quote that specifies the HW version for a coastal house is worth a question.
- Why does Hinen want the system registered to its cloud?
- Hinen’s service commitment says the system must be connected and registered so Hinen and the approved installer can monitor it, and describes this as a prerequisite for after-sales support that an approved installer can waive. Have the installer register it in your name before leaving, or put the waiver in writing, so a future claim does not start with a paperwork argument.
- Will a Hinen system run my house in a blackout?
- The A-series and the Hinen hybrids support backup, but only for the circuits wired through the changeover switch, and the switch and meter are separate accessories on Hinen’s own download page. Ask for the backed-up circuits listed by name and confirm those parts are in the quote — an all-in-one housing does not mean the backup wiring comes built in.
