MCS battery classifications explained
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) has a classification system for Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) outlined in standard MIS 3012. This system categorises battery storage solutions into four classes based on how the components—such as the batteries and inverters—are integrated...
Insulation guidance for non-heated batteries
Fox batteries that have an ingress protection rating of IP65 or above are suitable for outdoor installation. Please refer to the product manual for detailed installation guidance on placement and for ensuring the installation is adequately protected. Batteries that do...
Battery matching and version type guide
Several Fox battery ranges have undergone hardware changes since their initial release and may therefore be available as different versions and/or with a different connector type. If you are looking to expand your storage capacity, please be mindful of the...

Hybrid inverter/AC charger shutdown/restart procedure
The procedure to safely shutdown and restart a single-phase battery storage system is detailed below.
Battery expansion – time limit and expansion process
There is no specific time limit for expanding a battery system, however we recommend expanding systems as early in their life as possible, and we do not recommend expanding the system beyond 2 years from the commissioning date. The main...
FoxESS batteries in low temperatures (non heated batteries)
Battery Chemistry Fox ESS utilise cobalt free LiFePO4 cells across its range of battery storage products (the most stable of all battery chemistries), providing high chemical stability and thermoelasticity. The phosphate cathode material in LiFePO4 cells is notably less susceptible...
