Configuration 3
Each Force-H2 group stacks FH9637M modules of 3.552 kWh / 96 V behind one battery controller.
- Force-H2-V2: 2 to 4 modules per group, giving 7.10 / 10.65 / 14.20 kWh at 192 / 288 / 384 V, per the V2 manual.
- First generation: the Force-H series datasheet allows 2 to 5 modules per group, up to 17.75 kWh at 480 V.
- Parallel: up to 6 groups run in parallel; 6 x 17.75 kWh = 106.5 kWh, simple arithmetic on the datasheet figures.
- Naming note: the 17.75 kWh tier is a de-linker bundle matching the five-module datasheet column, not a Pylontech model number.
One controller per group, and the generation must match: FC0500M-40S for the first-generation Force-H2, FC0500M-40S-V2 for the Force-H2-V2.
- Separate systems: Pylontech's compatibility list treats Force-H2 and Force-H2-V2 as separate systems with separate controller firmware tracks.
- Inverter pairing: some inverters pair with the V2 system only, so confirm the paired hybrid inverter against Pylontech's list before ordering.
- Module ceiling: the V2 manual caps a group at 4 modules (14.20 kWh); only the first-generation system runs 5 modules (17.75 kWh).
No. The FH9637M belongs to the Force-H2 series only; Force-H3 stacks use the FH10050 module with the FC1000 controller.
- Within Force-H2: the same FH9637M module serves both the first-generation and the V2 system; the controller defines the generation.
- Expansion: add modules within the 2 to 4 (V2) or 2 to 5 (first generation) per-group window, or add parallel groups up to 6.
- Check first: confirm inverter compatibility, usable capacity and expansion limits against the latest Pylontech documents during final technical approval.
Installation & wiring 1
The Force-H2 is a stacked tower with an IP55 enclosure.
- Weights: each FH9637M weighs 35 kg (450 x 296 x 296 mm); the assembled five-module tower weighs 188.5 kg at 450 x 296 x 1710 mm, per the datasheet.
- Environment: 0 to 50 C operation, 5-95% humidity without condensation, below 2000 m altitude.
- Communication: the system talks CANBUS / Modbus RTU to the inverter; the controller carries RS-485 and CAN / RS-232 terminals.
- Metering: the paired hybrid inverter typically requires a grid-side meter such as the Chint DTSU666 for export limiting, with the CT sized to the site's service current, not the battery current.
Availability & compliance 1
Pylontech lists the Force-H2 system against VDE-AR-E 2510-50, IEC 62619, IEC 63056, IEC 62040-1, CEC and CE.
- Transport: UN38.3 covers shipment of the lithium modules.
- Enclosure: IP55 ingress protection for the assembled system.
- Documents: the Pylontech Force H2 datasheet is on file in English and German editions on this page.
- Grid connection: grid-code certificates are not part of this battery listing, so we confirm the certificate set for your project and paired inverter with the quote.
Operation & warranty 1
Pylontech documents state two figures: the operation manuals rate the FH9637M module at 5,000 cycles, while the Force-H series datasheet states more than 8,000 cycles at 25 C for the system.
- Depth of discharge: 95% per the datasheet.
- Design life: 15 years or more at 25 C.
- Both are Pylontech figures: the difference comes from the reference document, so treat the manual figure as the conservative basis.
- Warranty basis: ask us for the warranty terms that apply to your batch; we confirm them with the quote.
