-Nominal voltage for all ES Range models is **51.2V** (16 cells × 3.2V per cell). "48V" is the conventional system voltage designation used in Victron and inverter sizing. Usable energy is calculated at 80% DOD. Capacity in Ah and recommended inverter size are confirmed for ES5.4K and ES18K; refer to individual datasheets for remaining models.
