BigBattery 48V 10.24kWh ETHOS 2X Expansion Kit – Modular Battery Add-On

Scalable 10.24kWh LiFePO₄ Expansion for ETHOS Energy Storage Systems

Upgrade your power capacity with the BigBattery 48V ETHOS 2X Expansion Kit, the perfect modular solution for expanding your existing ETHOS energy storage system. Delivering an additional 10.24kWh of safe and reliable LiFePO₄ storage, this expansion pack allows you to tailor your power setup to meet growing energy demands in your home, cabin, or commercial space.

This kit includes two 5.12kWh ETHOS battery modules, a rack base, and all necessary power and communication cables for seamless integration into your current ETHOS system. Designed for plug-and-play expandability, these modules connect directly to your existing ETHOS Control Box (supports up to 16 batteries per controller), allowing you to increase storage without overhauling your system.

Built with Tier 1 lithium iron phosphate cells, every ETHOS module features an advanced BMS, passive cell balancing, integrated fire suppression, and an IP65-rated enclosure for maximum protection and longevity. Whether you’re expanding to prepare for longer outages or optimizing your solar energy storage, this kit delivers the flexibility and performance your setup needs.

Note: This is an expansion kit only. A Control Box is required for operation and is not included.

Understanding Your Power Needs

Power Calculation Guide

Sizing Metric Formula & Example
Energy Consumption (Wh) Formula: Watts × Hours
Example: 60W × 4 hrs = 240 Wh
Battery Capacity (Ah) Formula: Watt-hours ÷ System Voltage (V)
Example: 240 Wh ÷ 12V = 20 Ah
Inverter Size (W) Formula: Total Watts × 1.25 (safety margin)
Example: 300W × 1.25 = 375W → Use 400W inverter
Total Load Power (W) Formula: Sum of all appliance watts used simultaneously
Example: Light (10W) + Fan (75W) = 85W
Runtime (hrs) of Battery Formula: (Battery Ah × Voltage) ÷ Total Load (W)
Example: (100Ah × 12V) ÷ 240W = 5 hrs
