eForce 28.8kWh Stackable Whole-Home Energy Storage System
The Fortress Power eForce 28.8 kWh is a modular, stackable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery system designed for whole-home backup and off-grid reliability. Composed of three 9.6 kWh modules stacked vertically, this IP65-rated system features a cable-free design for quick installation and built-in heating for performance in extreme temperatures. It integrates seamlessly with Sol-Ark and Fortress Envy inverters for a robust, scalable energy storage solution.

Why Choose eForce 28.8 kWh
The eForce 28.8 is the ideal solution for homeowners who need high capacity without the clutter of messy wiring. Its innovative “LEGO-style” stacking design eliminates external battery cables between modules, reducing installation time and failure points. With an IP65 weatherproof rating and integrated heating, it is one of the few batteries that can be safely installed outdoors in harsh climates, freeing up valuable garage or utility room space.
Benefits of eForce 28.8 kWh
-
Cable-Free Stacking: Modules connect via wireless quick-connect plugs, allowing for a clean, professional install without the danger and mess of external jumper cables.
-
All-Weather Performance: Built-in temperature sensors and heating elements ensure the battery charges and discharges reliably even in freezing temperatures (down to -4°F), unlike standard lithium batteries that shut down in the cold.
-
Massive Power Output: The 28.8 kWh stack supports continuous discharge rates high enough to power heavy loads like pumps and HVAC systems when paired with a capable inverter.
-
Smart Management: The included “eWay” top unit acts as a BMS and combiner box, offering closed-loop communication with Sol-Ark, Victron, and Fortress inverters for precise state-of-charge monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the “stackable” design work?
The system starts with a base, and 9.6 kWh modules are stacked on top of each other. They connect internally using high-current plugs, so there are no visible wires between the battery units. The “eWay” control unit sits on top to manage the stack.
Q2: Can I install this battery outside?
Yes. The eForce is IP65 rated, making it dust-tight and protected against water jets. It also has active heating to protect the cells in cold weather, making it suitable for outdoor installation in most climates
Q3: Is it compatible with Sol-Ark inverters?
Yes. The eForce supports closed-loop communication with Sol-Ark inverters (5K, 8K, 12K, 15K, 18K), allowing the inverter to read the battery’s exact percentage and optimize charging/discharging.
Q4: How heavy is the eForce 28.8 stack?
The total assembled weight is 681 lbs. However, since it is modular, you move it one piece at a time (each module weighs ~200 lbs), making it much easier to install than a single heavy unit.
Q5: What is the warranty?
The standard warranty is 10 years. If you pair it with a Fortress Power Envy inverter and register the system, the warranty can be extended to 15 years.
