Fox ESS Fox ECS EC4800-2H, 4.74kWh HV Battery (Master)
Fox ECS EC4800-2H, 4.74kWh HV Battery (Master)
Fox ESS ECS 4800 high voltage series — 4.745 kWh a module, two to seven modules a stack, up to 33.24 kWh in one column.
Storage is worth having because it moves energy in time — solar generated at midday, or electricity bought on an overnight rate, spent in the evening. What decides whether it pays is the usable capacity, the charge rate and the cycle life, in that order.
Please read before ordering
This battery requires a MINIMUM of 2 modules to work (Master + Slave), This battery can have a MAXIMUM of 7 modules in a stack (1x Master + 6x Slaves)
To work with the H3/AC3 range of inverters, there is a minimum battery stack requirement of 5 so that it is within the voltage range.
About the Fox ESS ECS 4800 high voltage series
The ECS is the Energy Cube generation of Fox's high-voltage range: 4.745 kWh nominal a module, 4.27 kWh usable at a 90 % depth of discharge, and at least 6,000 cycles. Seven modules make 33.24 kWh.
It is a stack rather than a battery. One master module carries the battery management and the display; each slave adds capacity. Two modules is the minimum that will run, and the number your inverter accepts is in the table below.
IP65 for outdoor or indoor use, cooled by natural convection with no fans.

Two modules minimum, seven maximum:
Which inverter will run this battery?
This is a Fox ESS high-voltage stack: modules wired in series to a few hundred volts, with one master carrying the battery management and the rest of the stack reporting to it.

Stack rules, cabling and what else the job needs
The details that decide whether this battery suits the system:
- One master plus one to six slaves. Two modules minimum, seven maximum, 33.24 kWh at full stack.
- 25 A recommended discharge, 50 A maximum charge and discharge, 65 A peak for 30 seconds.
- Fox's compatibility matrix counts the modules an inverter will carry in total. Where that number is larger than the maximum stack on the datasheet, it is because the inverter takes more than one stack in parallel — the per-stack limit still applies to each one.
- A stack is one module type throughout. Fox modules of different capacities are not mixed in a series string, and a Fox low-voltage battery will not work on a high-voltage inverter or the other way round.
- 570 mm wide and 380 mm deep at any stack size. 570 × 386 to 1,076 × 380 mm for two to seven modules, 82 kg at two modules to 277 kg at seven.
- Charge −10 °C to +55 °C, discharge −10 °C to +55 °C, storage −10 °C to +35 °C. Maximum altitude 2,000 m.
- On the H3 and AC3 range the minimum stack is five modules, so that the stack voltage sits inside the inverter's window.
- Fox rate the module at 4.66 kWh at a 1 C rate and 4.745 kWh at 1/3 C. The figures on this page are the 1/3 C ones, which is what the product title quotes.

Fox ESS ECM4800 technical data
Questions we get asked about this inverter
Is one module a battery?
No. A stack is one master plus at least one slave, so the smallest working system is two modules.
How many can I fit?
Seven in a stack, 33.24 kWh. How many your inverter will take is in the table on this page.
How much of it can I use?
4.27 kWh a module, at a 90 % depth of discharge.
Can I add these to an existing Fox stack?
Only to an ECS stack of the same module and the same connector type. Send us a photograph of the existing stack and we will confirm the part before you order.
Can it go outside?
Yes. IP65, outdoor or indoor, floor standing on the Fox stand.
