Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more ETHOS batteries later?

Yes, that is the point of the design. ETHOS is modular and expandable up to 80+ kWh, so you can start at 10.24kWh with two modules and add capacity as your needs grow. Expansion kits are available in 2x and 3x module sets, and the system uses plug-and-play connections rather than a rebuild.

How many ETHOS modules do I need for my house?

Each module is 5.12kWh. Two modules at 10.24kWh cover essential circuits through a typical outage. A home wanting whole-house backup with air conditioning or electric heat generally needs four to six modules. Work out your daily kWh use first, then size for the number of outage days you want covered.

Is the ETHOS UL9540 certified for grid-tied?

ETHOS is designed with UL 9540 certification, but grid-tied closed-loop operation is certified with specific inverters: the EG4 18kPV, FlexBOSS18 and FlexBOSS21. For off-grid non-UL 9540 installs, it works with all BigBattery APEX inverters and all EG4 inverters. Confirm your inverter is on the certified list before a grid-tied install.

What inverters work with the ETHOS?

For UL 9540 certified grid-tied systems: EG4 18kPV, FlexBOSS18 and FlexBOSS21. For off-grid installations with closed-loop communication: all BigBattery APEX inverters and all EG4 inverters. Closed loop means the inverter reads true state of charge from the battery rather than estimating from voltage.

How long does the ETHOS last?

It is rated for 6,000+ cycles and carries a 12-year warranty with lifetime US-based tech support. At one full cycle per day that is well over a decade of daily use. It ships from Texas, so warranty service does not involve returning a pack overseas.
