A mid-sized expansion
Not every installation needs a big block of several kilowatt-hours. Anker’s SOLIX BP2700 offers a capacity of 2,688 Wh, an intermediate size that fits when you want to grow your reserve in steps. It connects to a compatible storage system: check the manufacturer’s manual to see which main units are supported, because that information is not part of the data listed below.
How to think about it
You add it to an existing unit so connected devices can run longer on the same charge. The lower the consumption you need to cover, the more clearly the effect of an extra module shows in the running time.
Who may find it useful
A homeowner starting with a small solar storage setup can begin modestly and add a module as needs evolve. A craftsperson or shop manager can also use it to reinforce a backup reserve meant for low-demand equipment such as lighting, a computer workstation or a refrigerator. Estimate the real power those items require before choosing, and list which ones really must stay running during an outage.
Footprint and construction
The module measures 460 × 233 × 217.5 mm and weighs 24 kg. That mass is still considerable for one person: arrange help and a clear path. The technology used is LiFePO4. The supplied data give neither a protection rating nor a temperature range, so do not assume it can sit outdoors, and ask for advice on placement conditions.
Preparing the location
- Look for a dry, healthy, well-ventilated room, away from knocks.
- Check that the support carries 24 kg without bending.
- Keep space in front of the unit to reach the connections.
- Have the electrical links made by a qualified professional.
What sets it apart
Its weight of 24 kg and moderate dimensions make it easier to handle than large-capacity batteries, while still benefiting from LiFePO4 chemistry. Its regular shape also helps when looking for a spot in a crowded technical room.

Safety instructions
Since no water protection is specified, keep the module away from damp, splashes and spray. Do not cover it, do not stack it unless the manual allows it, and keep flammable objects away. Use suitable cables that are never damaged. Any repair is a job for a technician.
Care and keeping
A pass of a dry cloth over the casing is generally enough. Check the state of the cables and the hold of the support from time to time. For an extended shutdown, refer to the manufacturer’s advice on the recommended charge level and storage conditions. Whenever you move the unit, make sure it is disconnected first and carried upright.
