Product Summary:

The BigBattery ETHOS™ + APEX-6.5K ESS System is a complete, high-performance energy solution designed for both on-grid and off-grid applications. Combining the scalable ETHOS 48V lithium battery system with the BigBattery APEX-6.5K hybrid inverter, this system delivers reliable, efficient, and intelligent energy management in one integrated package.

 

Expandable up to 80+ kWh, the ETHOS battery adapts to your energy needs—while the APEX-6.5K inverter manages power from solar, battery storage, the utility grid, and a generator. Its 120/240Vac split-phase output makes it ideal for home backup, energy savings, and off-grid energy systems.

 

The APEX-6.5K delivers 6,500W of rated output power with up to 13,000VA of maximum output power. Dual solar inputs provide up to 10,000W of combined PV input capacity, while RS485 and CAN communication support coordinated operation between the battery and inverter.

Ships From: Texas, USA
Warranty: 12 Years (Battery), 5 Years (Inverter)
Support: Lifetime USA-Based Tech Support
