Fox ESS Cables for CQ16

Fox ESS Cables for CQ16 is a battery cable set for the Fox ESS CQ16 high voltage battery.

Battery cable is not ordinary cable. The DC side of a storage system runs at low voltage and high current, so conductor size is set by current and by acceptable voltage drop rather than by the load in watts, and the connection has to survive years of thermal cycling without the termination loosening. Undersized or badly terminated battery cable is one of the few faults in a solar installation that can start a fire rather than simply stop working.

Which is why these are sold as made-up assemblies of a stated length and polarity: the manufacturer has already decided the conductor size, the terminal and the crimp for the battery it belongs to.

Specification

Before you order

• Only compatible with the Fox ESS H3 Plus series.
• Maximum 15 modules in series per stack. The smallest CQ16 system is 4 × CQ16 with 1 × BMS Box (64.28 kWh); the largest is 45 × CQ16 with 3 × BMS Box (723.15 kWh).

This is a made-up assembly rather than a catalogue cable, so the manufacturer does not publish a separate datasheet for it. The conductor size, terminals and crimps are chosen by the manufacturer for the battery it belongs to. Ask us if you need a figure that is not listed here and we will get it from them rather than guess.

Additional suggested items

A battery cable is rarely ordered on its own:

• Fox ESS CQ16 (16.07kWh) High Voltage Storage Battery for H3 Plus Range — the CQ16 battery these cables connect
• Fox ESS BMS Box for CQ16 — the BMS box the same system needs
• Fox ESS Battery Base for CQ16 — the battery base for the stack
