And if the internal 3,840Wh isn’t enough, the max capacity can be expanded with additional external batteries. With up to six additional batteries, the total capacity can go up to 26.88kWh. Add another F3800 and six more Anker Solix external batteries and that max capacity grows to a massive 53.75kWh.
