Two HNBESS stacked battery towers of different heights side by side in a test bay

CATEGORY 03 · 2 FAMILIES · 15 MODELS

Stackable Home Battery Systems, 5.12 kWh to 80.4 kWh

Install the base module now, bolt another one on top next year, and the BMS reconfigures itself. Two voltage classes: 51.2V for the widest inverter compatibility, up to 614.4V for long cable runs and outdoor mounting.

WHAT THIS CATEGORY IS

Sized for the customer who does not know tomorrow’s load

Most residential systems are sized on a guess. The family says they want backup for the fridge and the lights, then a year later they add an air conditioner and the battery is too small. A stacked system answers that with hardware instead of a new quotation: you order one more module, it goes on top of the stack, and the system reconfigures.

Fifteen models across two voltage classes. The 51.2V family goes to 80.4 kWh and works with most 48V hybrid inverters. The high-voltage family goes to 614.4V and 30.72 kWh, which is what you want when the inverter sits twenty metres away or the battery lives outside.

TWO FAMILIES

Low voltage for reach, high voltage for distance

ALL 15 MODELS

Sorted by energy, both families together

Where two models land on the same capacity, the voltage tells you which inverter they belong to. Read the modules column before the dimensions, because a five-module stack is not the height of one module.

Low-voltage rows show the single module footprint (W × H × D); a stack adds one module height per step, 143 mm on the 100Ah body and 230 mm on the 314Ah body. High-voltage rows show the assembled tower (W × H × L). Weights are for the complete unit in both cases.

LOW OR HIGH VOLTAGE

The one decision that decides everything else

Pick the voltage first, then the capacity. Get this wrong and the inverter will not accept the pack, no matter how many modules you stack.

Low-voltage 51.2V High-voltage 204.8 – 614.4V
Inverter you needMost 48V hybrid inverters already on the marketAn inverter rated for the pack voltage, single or three phase
Capacity ceiling80.4 kWh30.72 kWh
Current at full load100 A continuous25 A continuous, 50 A peak
Cable runShort and thick. Keep the battery close to the inverterLong and thin. Twenty metres is not a problem
Where it can sitIndoors only, IP20Indoors or outside, IP55
Adding capacityOne more module on the same stack, up to fiveOne more pack in the tower, up to six
Standby lossHigher, because the current is higherLower for the same load
Rule of thumb we give installers: under 30 kWh with the inverter in the same room, take the 51.2V family. Over 30 kWh, or the battery sits in a garage twenty metres from the inverter, take the high-voltage tower. If you are not sure, send us the inverter model and the cable length and we will tell you which one the inverter accepts.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Four questions buyers ask about stacked systems

Can I mix 100Ah and 314Ah modules on the same stack?

No. The BMS is built around one module capacity, so a stack is either all 100Ah bodies or all 314Ah bodies. If you start with a 100Ah stack and later need 314Ah, you are buying a second stack, not an extra module. Decide the module size at the start, because that is the choice you cannot undo.

How much can I add later?

Five modules on the low-voltage stack, which takes a 100Ah system to 25.6 kWh and a 314Ah system to 80.4 kWh. Six packs on the high-voltage tower, capped at 30.72 kWh. In practice the inverter caps you earlier than the battery does: check the maximum battery input on your inverter before you promise the customer a number.

Does the stack need a wall anchor?

It stands on its own base plate with no wall fixing. Above three modules we still recommend an anti-tip strap. A 230 kg tower is stable until someone leans on it, and the strap costs less than the conversation after it falls.

What is the difference between this and your rack-mounted system?

The rack-mounted line is a 19-inch format for integrators building their own enclosure, from 30.72 to 209 kWh. This line is a finished floor tower for a house: it arrives assembled, it has a base plate and a cover, and there is nothing for the installer to wire inside. Same cells, different packaging and a different buyer.

QUICK QUOTE

Send the inverter model, we will confirm the voltage

The fastest way to get a correct answer is to tell us the inverter brand and model, the cable length, and the daily consumption in kWh. We come back with the stack size and a price, usually within 12 hours on a working day.
