Description
The Fortress Power eForce 9.6kWh Complete Starter Kit is a fully integrated, plug-and-play energy storage solution that combines the 9.6kWh LFP battery module with the eWay wireway and steel mounting base — delivering everything needed for a clean, professional, code-compliant whole-home energy storage installation in a single package.
Key Features:
- 9.6kWh of Premium LFP Energy Storage — Expandable Up to 268.8kWh: Start with a single 200Ah module and scale vertically to 28.8kWh per stack or expand laterally with up to 16 parallel units as energy demands grow.
- Integrated eWay with 750A Busbar, Battery Combiner, and Emergency Disconnect: The included eWay wireway delivers factory-built AC/DC cable management, a 750A busbar, lockable power disconnect, Guardian antenna port, and real-time LED status indicator in one clean enclosure.
- Everything Included — Battery Cables, Wire Management, and Floor Mount: This kit ships complete with battery cables, battery combiner, wire management, and the steel floor mount base — no additional accessories required for a full installation.
- Quick-Plug Wireless Stacking Technology — Zero Inter-Module Cables: Battery terminals click directly into place between modules, eliminating inter-stack cabling and dramatically reducing installation time and labor costs.
- Industry-Leading 15-Year Warranty When Paired with Envy Inverter: When installed as a complete system with the Fortress Power Envy inverter and Guardian Gateway, this kit qualifies for Fortress Power's industry-leading 15-year warranty coverage.
