Fox HV BMS-V2
Fox ESS Fox HV BMS-V2
Fox HV BMS-V2
Fox ESS HV BMS — One per stack, minimum two batteries — and V1 and V2 do not mix.
An HV2600 stack needs a BMS above it, one per stack, with a minimum of two batteries. It is required on AC charger and hybrid models and is not needed on a Fox AIO all-in-one, which has its management built in.

About the Fox ESS HV BMS
Then there is the generation problem, and it is the most important thing on this page. Global material shortages forced Fox to supply the V2 range with a different internal communication chip. The consequence is that the newer range cannot communicate with the older range or the other way round.
In practice: the V1 BMS will not work with an HV2600 V2 battery at all. V1 and V2 products cannot be mixed within the same system, whatever the quantities. And the V2 BMS is the one that works with both FE-HV2600 and FE-HV2600-V2.
So on any new installation, and on any system where the battery generation is not certain, the V2 BMS is the safe order.
What does this fit?
This is the management unit an HV2600 stack is built on.
One BMS per stack of HV2600 batteries, minimum two batteries. Generation matters absolutely: the V1 BMS will not work with an HV2600 V2 battery, V1 and V2 products cannot be mixed in one system, and the V2 BMS is the only one that works with both generations.

What the job needs
The details that decide whether this suits the system:
- One BMS per stack of HV2600 batteries. Minimum of two batteries per stack.
- Required for AC charger and hybrid models. Not required for the Fox AIO all-in-one.
- FE-HV-BMS (V1) will not work with the HV2600 V2 battery.
- V1 and V2 products cannot be mixed within the same system.
- FE-HV-BMS-V2 is compatible with both FE-HV2600 and FE-HV2600-V2.
- Register the installation with Fox ESS online to activate the 10-year product warranty. Without registration it is 5 years as standard.
Where this earns its place
The BMS is chosen by the generation of battery it has to manage.
Things worth knowing about this listing
- 1 BMS is required per stack of HV2600 batteries, with a minimum of two batteries. It is not required for the Fox AIO all-in-one, only for AC charger and hybrid models.
- FE-HV-BMS-V2 is compatible with both the current and new HV2600 (FE-HV2600 and FE-HV2600-V2).
- You must register the install with Fox online to activate the 10-year product warranty; otherwise it is 5 years as standard. See the warranty document for more information.
Fox ESS HV BMS V2 technical data
Questions we get asked about this inverter
Which BMS do I need?
The V2 BMS is compatible with both FE-HV2600 and FE-HV2600-V2. The V1 BMS works only with V1 batteries and will not work with a V2.
Can I mix V1 and V2 batteries?
No. Fox supplied the V2 range with a different internal communication chip because of global material shortages, so the two generations cannot communicate and cannot be mixed within the same system.
How many do I need?
One per stack, with a minimum of two batteries in the stack.
Do I need one on a Fox AIO?
No. It is only required for AC charger and hybrid models.
How do I get the 10-year warranty?
Register the installation with Fox online. Without registration it is 5 years as standard.
