  • In addition to the other answers: You are mistaken regarding stress and losses on battery cell level, at least if you build the same overall batterry capacity at both voltage levels with the same cells.

    Starting with the HV variant, the power is P = U * I. If you now build a LV variant, let’s say at U/4, with the same capacity, you will have 4 strains in parallel. So on pack level you will need 4 * I to get the same power, but inside the battery this current will split up into the 4 parallel strains. So each cell therefore again only has the current I.

    Of course this is an ideal assumption. As you would have higher losses, e.g. in the wiring to the inverter, the overall power you need to draw from the battery increases. But it’s not as severe as it might seem based overall current increase on system level.

    Edit: The formulas did some unintended formatting. 😅
