No store we check sells it online; the maker lists where to buy or who installs it.
Pros
- Touch screen shows each module’s charge and cell data without a laptop
- Closed-loop communication with most major 48 V inverters
- Banks of up to 64 modules
- Ten-year warranty
Cons
- Hard to find in stock now; EG4’s own store no longer lists it
- No heater, so it cannot charge below freezing
- Its UL 9540 listing covers only one EG4 cabinet setup, not the battery alone
