Fox EP5-H 5.18kWh Battery with Heater + 10-Year Warranty – Fox ESS Solar Battery
Enhanced Performance with the Fox EP5-H 5.18kWh High Voltage Battery – Fox’s slimline, wall-mountable storage solution with built-in self-heating technology for reliable performance in low temperatures.
The EP5-H offers 5.18kWh capacity, 90% Depth of Discharge, and a 10-year warranty. With the Fox Junction Box, you can scale to 20.72kWh (4 units), or up to 41.44kWh when paired with the Fox H3 PRO hybrid inverter.
Note: A Junction Box is required when installing 2-4 EP5-H batteries.
Note: Fox EP5 and EP6 batteries can be mixed in the same system, as long as all batteries are updated to firmware V1.010 or newer. For best performance, we still recommend using the same model where possible.
