Fox ESS EQ4000 3.97kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Module
The EQ4000 is the stackable high-voltage battery module for the Fox ESS PowerQ all-in-one energy storage system. Each module stores 3.97 kWh. Modules stack vertically beneath the PowerQ inverter and connect through the built-in stacking connectors, so capacity is added one module at a time without external battery cabling between modules.
This listing is for one EQ4000 module. A PowerQ inverter needs at least two modules, and up to five modules per inverter are supported in the US mainland.
