Fortress Battery Models

Fortress Power offers a diverse portfolio of battery storage solutions to meet a wide range of needs, including: 

• eForce Stackable Whole-Home Energy Storage System (ESS): This modular and scalable system uses 9.6 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules that can be stacked vertically or expanded horizontally for total capacities up to 268.8 kWh. Each stack ties into the eWay wireway with built‑in busbars, and the Envy inverter mounts to the eWay for a streamlined installation.
• eVault MAX 18.5 kWh: Designed for whole-home backup and light commercial use, the Fortress Power eVault MAX provides 18.5 kWh of storage in a compact, single unit. It is expandable up to 370 kWh and is outdoor-rated (IP55). It can discharge down to -4°F and is UL 9540 certified.
• eFlex MAX 5.4 kWh: This is a compact 48V LFP battery with an outdoor-ready, saltwater-resistant aluminum enclosure. It’s designed for maximum flexibility, scalability, and long-term savings, with a lifespan of over 8,000 cycles. This model is ideal for residential systems, RVs, and marine applications. The eFlex MAX is not compatible with the original eFlex 5.4 kWh battery.
• eBoost: This is a new, compact battery model with 16 kWh of capacity that is compatible with Envy inverters. It integrates with the eWay wireway, features built-in heating elements for all-weather performance (IP65 rated), and includes locking wheels for enhanced mobility. This model is expandable up to 256 kWh.               
• eVault Classic 18.5 kWh: This model is the original high-capacity 18.5 kWh LFP battery from Fortress Power, designed for residential and commercial energy storage. It’s no longer compatible with the eVault Max.
