The Epoch 48V 100Ah server rack battery (SR48100H) is a 51.2V, 5.12kWh self-heating LiFePO4 battery in a 3U, 19-inch rack-mount chassis. It is built for home solar backup, off-grid power walls and professional energy storage builds, and it scales in parallel as your loads grow.
CAN and RS485 closed-loop communication lets the BMS share state of charge and charge limits with a wide range of inverters, and active self-heating allows charging in cold, dry indoor spaces. It is listed to UL 1973 (ETL, pack level), rated for 6,000+ cycles and backed by an 11-year limited manufacturer warranty.
Key Features
-
Closed-loop inverter communication: CAN/RS485 ports share state of charge, alarms and charge and discharge limits with compatible inverters; set the protocol with DIP switches on the master battery.
-
Self-heating: From -25°C to 5°C, with at least 8A of incoming charge current, the heater warms the cells until the battery reaches 12°C (54°F).
-
100A continuous output: About 5,120W DC from one battery, with 119A for up to 5 minutes and 200A for up to 15 seconds.
-
70A charging: 70A maximum continuous charge current (50A or less recommended) at 56.0V absorption and 54.6V float.
-
Up to 32 in parallel: Plug-and-play expansion with automatic addressing, from 5.12kWh to 163.84kWh (3,200Ah).
-
3U rack format: Fits standard 19-inch racks and battery cabinets; stack, wall and floor kits are available separately.
-
UL 1973 listed: Listed at pack level through ETL; UL 9540 certification is pending.
-
6,000+ cycle life: Rated at 0.2C and 90% DoD, with no watering or acid service.

- Alternators: a DC-to-DC charger programmed for LiFePO4 is highly recommended
- Fully charge once a month to correct state of charge; recharge within 2 days after it runs empty
Mounting Options
- 19-inch rack ears included on the chassis
- Stack kit (up to 4 batteries), wall kit and floor kit available separately
Suitable For:
- Home energy storage and whole-house backup

Please Note: IP20 indoor battery: install only in dry, protected spaces; no protection against water.
Please Note: Do not connect in series; parallel only, up to 32.
Please Note: No Bluetooth; monitoring is through the inverter via CAN/RS485.
Please Note: Not a cranking-rated battery. Size loads, conductors and overcurrent protection to the 100A continuous rating.
Please Note: About 101 lb: lift with two people; never install upside down or on its side.
Please Note: Installation should be performed by qualified personnel; confirm current certification documents with Epoch and the local authority having jurisdiction before permitting a grid-connected ESS.
Please Note: Confirm the ratings on your battery label before raising a charger's current limit; earlier production may carry different ratings.
