Fox EQ2900 2.88kWh HV Battery (Master)
Fox ESS EQ2900 high voltage series — The small EQ module — 2.88 kWh a step, up to 20.16 kWh, for sizing a stack finely.
The reason to store electricity is arbitrage in time: charge when it is cheap or free, spend when it is not. A stack sized close to what a house actually shifts each evening pays back faster than one sized to the nearest round number.

About the Fox ESS EQ2900 high voltage series
That is what the EQ2900 is for. At 2.88 kWh nominal and 2.59 kWh usable it is the smallest step Fox's high-voltage range offers, so a system can be sized in 2.88 kWh increments up to 20.16 kWh rather than 4.66 or 4.92 kWh ones.
One EQ2900-M master carries the battery management; each EQ2900-S slave adds a step. Two modules is the minimum and seven the maximum.
IP65, outdoor or indoor, natural convection, and rated to 3,000 m.

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, 20.16 kWh at full stack.
- 25 A recommended discharge, 50 A maximum charge and discharge, 65 A peak for 60 seconds.
- 57.6 V per module: 115.2 V at two modules through to 403.2 V at seven, operating 97.2 – 131.4 V and 340.2 – 459.9 V.
- Charge derating occurs between 0 and +15 °C.
- 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, 380 mm deep, 350 mm tall at two modules to 950 mm at seven; 71.1 kg to 230.1 kg.
- Storage temperature −10 to +40 °C. Maximum altitude 3,000 m.

Questions we get asked about this inverter
Is one module a battery?
No. Two is the minimum: an EQ2900-M master and at least one EQ2900-S slave, 5.76 kWh together.
How big can it get?
Seven modules, 20.16 kWh. Your inverter may cap it lower — the table on this page has the numbers.
How much can I use?
2.59 kWh a module, at a 90 % depth of discharge.
Can I mix EQ2900 with a bigger EQ module?
No. A stack is one module type throughout.
Can it go outside?
Yes, IP65, outdoor or indoor.
