One of the most important building elements of the unit is a special industrial case. The EnergonX unit is built by fitting this high-quality Qbrick case with various electronic components. We install displays, connectors, cables, switches, and fuses. During production of the EnergonX unit, we take great care to preserve the legendary extreme load-bearing capacity of Qbrick products. If the lid of the unit and the lids of the installed connector elements are both closed, the contents of the unit remain protected against extreme weather conditions. After the rebuild, the EnergonX unit is complete. The appropriately sized and typed battery can then be installed in the unit. This is how this special power source is created, specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments and extreme weather conditions. Thanks to the materials used and the flexible seals, the cases resist dust, water, and the effects of high or low temperatures.

Technical note:

Important: For dimensions and specifications, we separately state the characteristics before and after the conversion. The pre-conversion condition means the factory condition of the box – without our modifications. The post-conversion condition means the state after the electronic components have already been installed.

During installation, we create two separate interior spaces inside the unit, separated by a plastic divider wall.
One is the electrical compartment, where the electronic devices are installed. The battery can also be placed here.

The other is the personal storage compartment, suitable for storing any items that need protection from environmental effects. The unit’s structure is highly resistant to environmental conditions. It can protect not only the electronics inside it, but also the user’s other belongings – whether documents or almost anything else.

SCOUT  {EX1100-CSER-BASE}

This is the smallest and most compact member of the family, designed specifically for use cases where minimal space requirement, easy portability, and the most essential connectors matter most. It is an ideal choice for cars, boats, camping, rapid deployment, or basic field power supply.

It is built on the Qbrick System PRO Toolbox 2.0 shell. Depending on configuration and battery format, it is suitable for installing smaller 12V batteries. In BASE configuration, the SCOUT includes 1 USB charger, 1 12V cigarette lighter socket, and 1 50A Anderson connector. In addition, 4 mounting locations for M8 threaded inserts are provided, 2 on each side.
 

EXPLORER {EX1100-EXP-BASE}

This is the most robust, highly mobile, high-capacity member of the family, designed specifically for harsh use. If you need a solution for rough terrain, cold weather, or high loads, this model is built exactly for that. It can even accommodate a battery with up to 6.5 kWh capacity.

Wheels and mobility

• Large-diameter (≈223 mm), thick rubber-coated wheels with metal axle, so it handles stairs and rough ground well, and rolls relatively quietly.
• Anodized aluminum telescopic handle that can be extended and, in some versions, removed for easier transport and loading.
   

KARAVAN {EX1100-KAR-BASE}

This is the most popular member of the family. Versatile and medium-sized. Designed for multi-day trips, caravan travel, boats, and outdoor deployments. If you want a mobile power source that is still easy to move but already offers serious reserve capacity, the Karavan is an ideal choice.

Depending on the configuration, a battery up to 2.8 kWh can be installed. This means it can power a cooler, lighting, water pump, and your most important devices for a longer period.
It is highly expandable and well equipped with built-in mechanical mounting points.

Mobility and packability:

• A size and weight that is easy to handle by hand, in a car, or in a caravan, with a sturdy handle for safe lifting and loading.
• Its shape and surface are designed so it can be easily secured in a car, caravan, or boat, and safely withstand vibration and impact.
   

NOMAD {EX1100-NOM-BASE}

The Nomad is the “wallet-friendly” version of the Karavan.
It does everything the Karavan does and differs only in 3 ways:

• Its color is black.
• Its material is recycled Ultra HD plastic.
• It does not include M8 inserts. Naturally, these can also be ordered later.

The EnergonX unit can be used safely and reliably even in extreme outdoor environments, provided that the prescribed sealing and installation conditions are met. The industrial Qbrick System ONE case used as the basis of the device – and in the case of the SCOUT, the Qbrick System PRO Toolbox 2.0 – is protected against splashing water, dust, and mechanical impact, and can be used between -20 °C and +60 °C. The housing is made of impact-resistant, UV-resistant plastic which, when properly closed, resists rain, snow, mud, and intense sunlight as well.
However, it is important to note that the usability of the EnergonX unit depends not only on the outer housing, but also on the type of battery installed and its temperature tolerance. For example, a LiFePO₄ battery – typically usable between -20 °C and +60 °C – must not be charged below freezing, because that can cause irreversible damage. Therefore, in cold environments the use of a heated LiFePO₄ battery with BMS is recommended.

When used in hot environments, it should be taken into account that the closed housing has no active ventilation, so internal heat generation of the battery and electronics may increase. In such cases, it is especially important that connected devices do not exceed the recommended load limits, and that the unit is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated location.

In summary:

• The case itself can be used outdoors between -20 °C and +60 °C.
• The installed LiFePO₄ battery can be used between -20 °C and +60 °C, but should generally only be charged above 0 °C.
• The system provides maximum protection when the lid is fully closed and the covers of unused connectors are also closed.
• If the user makes additional holes, a waterproof cable gland or similar sealed pass-through must be used, especially in wet or dusty environments.
• For outdoor use, operation is recommended only in a professionally sealed, undamaged, and waterproof assembled state.

Important: The main breaker normally does not trip accidentally. Its primary function is to switch off automatically in case of short circuit or overload. Therefore, before switching it back on manually, always make sure which connected device or equipment caused the problem.

It may also happen that the individually connected devices do not cause a problem separately, but their combined current draw exceeds the breaker limit when used together, so it trips automatically. In that case, you must decide whether a higher-rated main breaker is required, or which devices may be used together so that their combined current draw remains below the breaker limit.

What are the advantages of the built-in main switch (main breaker)?

If the main breaker is switched off, the battery definitely does not supply the internal circuit of the unit – and therefore the connectors are not live either. This is also advantageous during transport, because when switched off the connectors are not energized and therefore cannot cause accidental short circuit.

Technical description – Safe and intended use of the EnergonX unit.

If required, the main breaker itself can also be replaced by the user, taking into account the maximum current draw of the devices intended to be connected to the EnergonX unit.

Note: To charge the battery installed in the EnergonX unit, the main breaker (main switch) must be in the ON position.

Technical description – Charging the built-in battery.

One of the biggest advantages of EnergonX is the variety of flexible charging options, which ensure operability under almost any conditions – whether in a house, tent, boat, forest, or even an emergency situation.

Thanks to compatibility with different energy sources (solar panel, 230V mains, generator, alternator, another battery), EnergonX can always be charged regardless of external conditions. This flexibility is especially important from the perspective of survival, comfort, and energy security.
The battery installed in the EnergonX unit can be charged in several ways. A key design goal of the system was to allow the user to choose the most practical charging method according to the available technical options and environmental conditions – whether from a fixed power network or from a mobile portable source.

1. Charging from 230V mains

The most common charging method is charging from a mains (230V AC) source. For this, the manufacturer of the EnergonX unit primarily recommends using a charger suitable for the given battery type, preferably the manufacturer’s charger, and connecting it to the unit through the built-in 50A Anderson connector.

• The charger must have an Anderson connector so it matches the EnergonX connection system.
• Charging works only when the main breaker (main switch) is in the ON position; otherwise the charger cannot feed energy into the circuit.

2. Charging from a solar system

The EnergonX unit is also an ideal solution in situations where no grid power is available, because it can be connected directly to solar charging systems. In this case as well, the built-in Anderson connectors are used for connection.

• The solar system requires an MPPT or PWM charge controller that provides a charging profile optimized for the battery type (AGM, lead-acid, LiFePO₄).
• Charging efficiency depends greatly on panel power, orientation, number of sunshine hours, and weather conditions.

Practical examples:
A 12V 100Ah battery corresponds to approximately 1200Wh of stored energy.

Note: The above values refer to ideal conditions. In real use, weather, sun angle, cabling, and controller efficiency may cause a deviation of 15–30%.

3. Alternative charging options

The EnergonX unit can also be charged from other mobile power sources:

• Petrol or diesel generator: a type with regulated 12V DC or 230V AC output may be used. In this case charging is done through the mains charger.
• 12V vehicle alternator or boat engine: if the system can provide stable voltage, it can be connected to the EnergonX Anderson connector.
• Another battery unit: in the case of parallel connection, polarity and equal voltage must be observed. This solution may only be used if charge current is fed into the system in a controlled and professionally supervised manner, for example via a DC/DC charger.

4. Charging according to battery type

The various battery types used in the EnergonX unit – such as flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and modern LiFePO₄ – differ in their suitability for fast charging.
The purpose of fast charging is to feed high current into the battery over a short period of time so it becomes ready for use more quickly. AGM and LiFePO₄ batteries, with the proper charger, tolerate higher charging currents particularly well and can typically be charged at 0.5–1 times their nominal capacity (for example, a 100Ah LiFePO₄ battery can often be charged safely with 50–100A).
For this reason, the EnergonX unit is equipped with a 50A Anderson connector suitable for high-current charging, provided the connected charger is appropriate and the main switch is in the ON position.

The EnergonX unit is factory-equipped with several standard electrical connectors, allowing safe and efficient connection of various loads – even multiple devices at the same time. When designing the type and layout of the built-in connectors, primary goals were versatility, easy accessibility, and safe operation even in outdoor environments.

1. Default built-in connectors and fuses

Base-configured EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD EnergonX units include the following connectors and fuses:

• 2 pcs. micro-switched 3-port USB chargers (Dual USB-C PD 3.0 + USB-A QC 3.0)

These charging sockets allow charging of mobile phones, GPS units, tablets, action cameras, and other low-voltage devices. The micro-switch activates or deactivates the connector separately, helping avoid unnecessary power draw.

• 2 pcs. 12V cigarette lighter sockets

These are classic 12V DC automotive sockets through which a small cooler, fan, inverter, or other standard automotive device can be operated.

• 1 pc. digital voltage indicator display

Continuously shows the current battery voltage of the EnergonX unit. Useful for monitoring capacity, especially while using an inverter or other high-consumption device.

• 1 pc. LED control switch

Accessories such as lights, water pumps, or ventilation equipment can be connected here when separate switching is required. The switch lights up to indicate active status.

• 1 pc. 80A main switch (automatic thermal main breaker)

This serves both as the main circuit interrupter and as a protective device. It trips automatically in case of overload, overheating, or short circuit, and can be reset manually.

• 1 pc. 50A fuse holder (AGU replaceable 50A glass fuse)

This fuse protects the unit against potential overcurrent arriving through the 50A Anderson connector.

• 1 pc. blade fuse holder with 4 fuse positions (Medium / ATO–ATC)

The standard blade fuses assigned to the connectors protect the individual circuits. Their type and rating must be matched to the current draw of the connected devices.

2. Additional high-current connectors

The base configuration also includes:

• 1 pc. 50A Anderson connector

Higher-power chargers, solar systems, or medium-power loads (for example a cooler, LED spotlight, or inverter) may be connected here. Its major advantages are quick connection and polarity-safe construction.

• 1 pc. 120A Anderson connector

Designed specifically for high-current devices such as inverters, electric motors, or interconnection with other EnergonX units. The main switch also protects this connector in case of short circuit or overload.

3. Different base equipment of the SCOUT – BASE

The SCOUT – BASE is the smallest version in the family, therefore it is built with a simplified but still practical connector layout:

• 1 pc. micro-switched 3-port USB charger (Dual USB-C PD 3.0 + USB-A QC 3.0)
• 1 pc. 12V cigarette lighter socket
• 1 pc. digital voltage indicator display
• 1 pc. LED control switch
• 1 pc. 80A main switch (automatic thermal main breaker)
• 1 pc. 50A fuse holder (AGU replaceable 50A glass fuse)
• 1 pc. blade fuse holder with 4 fuse positions (Medium / ATO–ATC)
• 1 pc. 50A Anderson connector

Compared with the larger EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD models, the SCOUT – BASE does not include a 120A Anderson connector and only receives 1 USB charger and 1 cigarette lighter socket.

4. Expandability
In addition to the built-in connectors, the unit has two pre-formed perforated mounting points that allow later installation of additional connectors or switches.

Detailed information about these can be found in the section “Technical description – Pre-formed perforated mounting points”.

During development of the EnergonX unit, special attention was paid to ensuring that the device can operate reliably, safely, and efficiently over the long term. However, safe and intended use depends not only on the protective features built in by the manufacturer, but also on careful handling by the user.

During development of the EnergonX unit, special attention was paid to ensuring that the device can operate reliably, safely, and efficiently over the long term. However, safe and intended use depends not only on the protective features built in by the manufacturer, but also on careful handling by the user.

Use in rain, wet, or dusty environments
Thanks to its robust construction suitable for outdoor use, the EnergonX unit withstands the weather well. The closed system provides protection against dust and splashing water, but for safe operation the following rules must always be observed:

– In wet, rainy, humid, or dusty environments, keep the lid fully closed.
– Use only those connectors to which a device is currently connected. Always keep the protective caps of unused connectors closed so that moisture and dirt cannot enter the system.
– In rain or under direct water spray, never open the lid and do not perform connection or maintenance work until the rain has stopped and the surfaces are completely dry.

Advantages and risks of the opening lid
One important feature of the EnergonX unit is its opening lid, which significantly facilitates maintenance and expandability. Thanks to this, the internal electrical space – such as the battery, fuses, cables, and connectors – is easily accessible.

At the same time, the opening design requires increased caution:

– Never place personal belongings, tools, or other foreign objects into the electrical compartment. This compartment is intended exclusively for the battery, built-in electronics, and related wiring.
– With the lid open, careless handling, movement of devices, or dropping objects can easily cause short circuit, cable damage, or even fire.
– Before closing the lid, always make sure that no wire or foreign object is trapped between the sealing surfaces.

Post-modifications – cable pass-throughs, drilled holes
If the user makes their own hole in the housing of the EnergonX unit – for example for cable pass-throughs or installation of custom connectors – only a closed-system solution with proper sealing is recommended.

A suitable example is the use of a cable gland, which allows waterproof cable entry while also providing mechanical stability. Improperly sealed holes can allow water or dust into the interior of the device, causing circuit failure, short circuit, corrosion, and ultimately complete unit failure.

Checks before use
Before and after each use, please check:

– the integrity of the connections (no loose screws or damaged wires),
– the consumption and compatibility of connected devices,
– the state of charge of the battery,
– the correct value and condition of the fuses,
– and the closed state of the connectors and covers.

The EnergonX unit includes many standard 12V and 5V connectors, but the user may have devices whose factory connector is not compatible with the sockets available on the EnergonX unit. In such cases, several options are still available to connect the device safely and efficiently.

1. Replacing the connector on the device

One option is that the user replaces the connector on their own device with one that is compatible with the sockets found on the EnergonX unit (for example cigarette plug, Anderson connector, USB-C, etc.).

Important note: Technically this is a simple solution and provides a direct connection, but in many cases replacing the factory connector may void the warranty or affect the function and safety of the device. Therefore, such modification should only be carried out at your own responsibility and with proper expertise.

2. Using adapter cables

The other solution is to use an adapter cable. These are intermediate cables that have an EnergonX-compatible connector on one end and a connector matching the intended device on the other.
This makes it possible to:

• leave the factory connector of the device unchanged,
• preserve the warranty,
• disconnect and reconfigure the connection at any time.

EnergonX manufacturer support: The manufacturer also makes some commonly used adapters available in its own range and can produce special adapter cables on custom order, based on the device connector and performance parameters specified by the customer.

One of the key development goals of EnergonX units was to ensure that the system should not function merely as a backup power source, but also be flexibly adaptable to individual usage scenarios. For this reason, the various EnergonX unit types feature several built-in and retrofit-capable mechanical mounting points.

These mounting options allow the user to attach different accessories and practical add-ons to the unit, thereby increasing its value in use and its range of applications.

1. Built-in mounting options

The various EnergonX models include the following mechanical fastening solutions:

• SCOUT: 4 M8 threaded insert positions that can be installed later (2 on each side).
• EXPLORER: 8 M8 threaded inserts.
• KARAVAN: 10 M8 threaded inserts + aluminum mounting rail.
• NOMAD: no M8 inserts from the factory; these can be ordered later; the lid includes mounting rail.

2. Mountable accessories – examples

The manufacturer offers accessories that can be fitted directly to the mounting points of EnergonX units. Examples include:

• Magnetic holders – for LED lights, tools, etc.
• Tool holders – in different forms (rubber, rigid-wall, hook type). They can be screwed into M8 threaded inserts and allow fastening of hand tools or smaller boxes.
• Hanging loops – to help secure the unit to a boat hull, vehicle, or mechanically connect it to another EnergonX unit.

3. Advantages of the fastening points

The purpose of the rugged fastening points is to ensure that accessories:

• remain securely in place during transport, movement, and intensive use,
• can be changed or removed quickly,
• can be adapted to individual configurations.

Expanding EnergonX units with accessories is not merely a convenience feature; it is a conscious extension of the system’s functionality. With this option, the user truly receives a personalized professional tool.

During development of the unit, the manufacturer paid attention not only to operational reliability, but also to mechanical security and protection against unauthorized access. For this reason, a pre-formed locking option is available on the lid.

1. Security locking points

On the front side of the lid, directly next to the lid latches, there are two locking eyes suitable for padlock installation. These allow the lid, once closed with the latch, to be additionally secured with a padlock, making unauthorized opening more difficult.

• A small padlock can be fitted to the locking eyes, securing the lid and lower latch points together.

2. The role of the padlock in protection

It is important to emphasize that a padlock does not provide complete physical protection. Despite the industrial, robust construction of the case, the padlock only creates a mechanical obstacle and serves as a signal that the unit is locked and its contents are not freely accessible.

Using a padlock:

• slows down unauthorized access,
• increases the time required for interference,
• signals that the unit is under supervision.

This may be especially useful in public or outdoor locations (for example camping, marina, vehicle deck, campsite) when the EnergonX unit remains unattended for a shorter period.

EnergonX units – depending on type – have various fastening points. These fastening points and systems allow the mounting of different devices and accessories, including:

For mechanical interconnection with other EnergonX units:

The Qbrick boxes used as the basis of EnergonX units have a modular structure. Thanks to this, several different units can be connected to each other.

For mechanical interconnection with non-EnergonX units:

• Handles and holders: different handles and holders can be attached to the M8 threaded inserts on the sides and top of the cases, making transport and handling easier.
• Clamps and fasteners: the aluminum mounting rails allow the use of different clamps and tightening solutions, so the boxes can also serve as a work surface.
• Electronic devices: various electronic devices, such as lights, chargers, or other accessories, can be attached to the M8 inserts.
• Custom fixtures: the fastening points also make it possible to attach custom items such as antennas, cameras, or other special devices.

You can read more about the fastening points installed on EnergonX units here:

Technical description – Structural description of the unit

The EnergonX unit can be used not only as a self-contained backup power source, but can also be electrically connected to other devices or additional EnergonX units. This is especially important where increased power or greater stored energy is required.
The connection options are designed so they can be used quickly, in a standardized way, and safely, both in field use and fixed installations.

1. Default electrical connection points

Base-configured EnergonX units may include the following types of connectors, which can also be used for connection to other units:

• 50A Anderson connector
• 120A Anderson connector

An important difference is that the SCOUT – BASE in base version includes 1 pc. 50A Anderson connector and no 120A Anderson connector. The EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD models in base version include both 50A and 120A Anderson connectors.

These connectors make it possible to:

• connect to another EnergonX unit (power transfer, energy distribution),
• transmit voltage from an external battery or charging system (solar, generator),
• feed higher-power loads in series.

The connectors are mechanically polarized, meaning they cannot be connected with reversed polarity, which significantly increases connection safety.

2. Interconnection of same-type EnergonX units

By connecting multiple EnergonX units in parallel:

• available battery capacity can be increased,
• different units can serve different consumer groups (for example lighting, communication, cooling),
• a flexible and expandable energy network can be created, which can be rearranged or expanded as needed.

Recommended for parallel connection:

• use units fitted with batteries of the same type and state of charge,
• make the connection through identical types of Anderson connectors (for example 50A–50A or 120A–120A).

3. Connection to other power sources or devices

Through the EnergonX connectors, other non-EnergonX 12V DC devices or power sources may also be connected, provided that:

• the connector is mechanically compatible (or an appropriate adapter is used),
• the connected system voltage is 12V ±10%,
• polarity and current draw have been verified before connection.
• Current limits must be observed carefully:
• the 50A connector is suitable for loads up to 600W,
• the 120A connector may handle up to around 1400–1500W with proper cabling.

4. Preparations before connection

• Check that the main switch (main breaker) is turned off before making a connection.
• Make sure the device to be connected does not draw more current than the connector and cabling can handle.
• Always connect mechanically first, then switch on the circuit (main switch).

On the front side of the EnergonX unit – on the same surface where the installed connectors, switches, and displays are located – the manufacturer has placed two pre-formed perforated mounting points. These provide a simple and safe option for custom expansions and retrofit connector installation.

1. Position and design

The perforated mounting points are located in the front connector row of the EnergonX unit, beside the installed electronic elements, in an easily accessible position. Both points are designed as follows:

• Behind the stainless steel front plate, the plastic structure of the case is factory-prepared in a circular cut-out, but remains closed from the outside.
• The steel plate is lightened/pre-perforated – along the perforation it can be punched or cut out easily with a hand tool, without damaging other parts of the front panel.
• The perforation has a standard circular form, allowing additional connectors or displays to be installed directly.

2. Advantages and possible uses

These prepared mounting points make it possible for the user to:

• install new connectors, switches, or displays later,
• replace connectors without damaging the housing,
• avoid additional drilling or cutting in the plastic body during expansion,
• mount retrofit units neatly in factory-prepared positions.

This solution is especially important for users looking for a device suitable for customization or future expandability.

3. Installation guide

Retrofit installation of a connector is performed in the following steps:

• Make sure the main switch (main breaker) is OFF and the battery is disconnected.
• Carefully punch out the perforated circular section in the stainless steel plate using a hand tool.
• After removal of the perforated section, the connector fits into the pre-prepared plastic opening, which provides stable installation.
• The connector must be fixed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (for example nut + washer + rubber seal), then wired with correct polarity.
• If necessary, a fuse for the connector must be installed or integrated into the existing fuse holder.

Thanks to the modular structure of the EnergonX unit, the built-in electronic connectors, switches, displays, and fuses can also be easily replaced or expanded later in line with user needs and technological development.

Because of this modular design, there is no need to buy a completely new EnergonX unit in a few years just because the built-in connectors are no longer compatible with new standards.

1. Built-in electronic units in the base EnergonX PowerBox:

EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD:

• Micro-switched 3-port USB charger (Dual USB-C PD 3.0 + USB-A QC 3.0) – 2 pcs.
• Cigarette lighter socket – 2 pcs.
• Voltage indicator (digital display) – 1 pc.
• LED control switch – 1 pc.
• 80A main switch (thermal automatic main breaker) – 1 pc.
• 50A replaceable AGU glass fuse holder + fuse – 1 pc.
• Blade fuse holder (accepting 4 pcs. “Medium/ATO–ATC” fuses) – 1 pc.

SCOUT:

• Micro-switched 3-port USB charger (Dual USB-C PD 3.0 + USB-A QC 3.0) – 1 pc.
• Cigarette lighter socket – 1 pc.
• Voltage indicator (digital display) – 1 pc.
• LED control switch – 1 pc.
• 80A main switch (thermal automatic main breaker) – 1 pc.
• 50A replaceable AGU glass fuse holder + fuse – 1 pc.
• Blade fuse holder (accepting 4 pcs. “Medium/ATO–ATC” fuses) – 1 pc.

All built-in connectors are designed for a 12V DC system. The connectors are wired with correct polarity, appropriate cable protection, and fuses.

2. Possibilities for later replacement and expansion

Replacement of connectors and other electronic elements may become necessary for several reasons:

• Replacement of outdated or faulty units
• Connection of a new type of device (for example XT60, PowerPole)
• Upgrade to a connector with higher current capacity
• Customer-specific custom modification

The replacement is made easier by the pre-perforated mounting points on the front panel of the EnergonX unit, which allow new connectors to be installed or old ones to be replaced with new devices.

The modular construction of the system ensures that installation of new connectors into the existing electrical compartment can be performed with minimal structural modification.

3. Installation and wiring requirements

For safe and proper operation of retrofit connectors, the following guidelines must be observed:

• Use only connectors compatible with a 12V DC system.
• During wiring, observe polarity colors (red (+) positive, black or blue (–) negative).
• Every new connector must be protected by a fuse sized according to the current draw of the connected device.
• Only crimped, securely terminated cables may be used for connection.

Following the factory wiring concept, retrofit connectors must also be connected to the existing fuse holder or to a separately installed fuse module.

The modular design of the EnergonX unit makes later battery installation and fast battery replacement possible. This is ideal if you already have a compatible battery or if you want to switch later to a larger capacity or more modern technology. The flexible and serviceable internal design provides long-term expandability, reduces maintenance costs, and increases service life. Component-level replaceability also supports recycling – making EnergonX a cost-efficient and sustainable energy solution.

1. Installable battery dimensions

For every EnergonX type, the maximum battery size that can be placed in the electrical compartment has been defined separately. These size limits follow from the physical construction of the case and must not be exceeded.

A battery physically larger than the specified dimensions cannot fit safely inside the unit, therefore its installation is not recommended.

Maximum dimensions of the compartment intended for battery installation:

• EnergonX PowerBox SCOUT {EX1100-CSER-BASE}: 260 × 168 × 209 mm
• EnergonX PowerBox EXPLORER {EX1100-EXP-BASE} : 350 × 220 × 330 mm
• EnergonX PowerBox KARAVAN {EX1100-KAR-BASE} : 350 × 220 × 230 mm
• EnergonX PowerBox NOMAD {EX1100-NOM-BASE} : 350 × 220 × 230 mm

2. Installing multiple batteries together

The internal layout of EnergonX units allows the placement of multiple smaller batteries at the same time, provided their physical dimensions allow them to fit in the designated electrical compartment. For example, two 100Ah batteries may be installed if their dimensions permit.

In that case, special attention must be paid to proper electrical wiring, particularly because the EnergonX unit operates as a 12V system. Connecting multiple batteries together may only be done in parallel, and only if:

• the batteries are of the same type (for example both LiFePO₄),
• they have the same capacity,
• they have the same state of charge,
• their age and usage cycles are also close to each other.

3. Connection cables, lugs, and wiring

The EnergonX unit includes pre-installed battery connection cables that allow the user to connect the battery easily and safely.

The cables are marked by color: the positive (+) wire is red, the negative (–) wire is black or blue.

Both cable ends are fitted with crimped cable lugs sized for M8 bolts. This allows them to be securely attached to standard M8 battery terminals.

4. Securing the battery

If the EnergonX unit was ordered with a factory-installed battery, the manufacturer ensures proper battery fixing. This is typically done by embedding it in rigid foam so that the battery remains stable during transport and movement.

If battery installation is carried out later by the user, proper securing must be provided by the user.

“Blade” fuses (4 pcs.)

The base EnergonX unit includes a fuse holder and fuses suitable for 4 standard (Medium / ATO–ATC) “blade” fuses for protecting the circuits.

These fuses can be replaced later and their values can be adjusted according to the maximum current specified for the circuit to be protected.

The blade fuses are connected to the positive (+) branch of the main circuit of the EnergonX unit and protect the following circuits:

• Fuse (10A): Group 1 – for SCOUT: the single cigarette lighter socket, the USB charger, and the voltage display; for EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD: left cigarette lighter socket, USB charger, and voltage display
• Fuse (10A): Group 2 – for EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD: right cigarette lighter socket and USB charger; for SCOUT: spare or custom use
• Fuse (5A): Control switch
• Fuse: Empty (spare or custom use)

AGU 50A replaceable glass fuse

The EnergonX unit also includes an AGU type 50A glass fuse, which protects the unit against overcurrent arriving through the 50A Anderson connector.

The glass fuse placed in the fuse holder can be replaced if necessary to maintain system protection.

Control switch – connecting switched loads

An extra control switch is included even in the base EnergonX unit, to which loads that require switching can be connected – such as lights, fans, pumps, or other accessory equipment.

How can a load be connected to the control switch?

Connection to the control switch is possible through the pre-installed quick connector, which allows simple, fast, and safe wiring.

The connection method is shown by the following illustrations:

• Location of the quick connector inside the EnergonX unit
• Connection points and markings of the control switch

Depending on the type of built-in switch, the switched path interrupts either the positive (+) or the negative (–) circuit. This does not require special user intervention as long as the new device is connected with correct polarity to the quick connector.

On the quick connector:

• the red or orange marking indicates the place of the positive (+) wire,
• the blue marking indicates the connection point of the negative (–) wire.

With proper and professional connection, the control switch will operate correctly. In the ON position, the LED built into the switch lights up.

In case of faulty operation or excessive current draw of the device connected to the switch, the 3rd fuse placed in the blade fuse holder trips, protecting the circuit.

Connecting 230V inverters to the EnergonX unit

The EnergonX unit is also suitable for connection of external 230V inverters. During design, a primary consideration was to ensure that DC supply to inverters can be solved safely in several ways and in line with the planned current load.

The unit includes multiple connection points that allow connection of inverters of different capacities.

1. Connecting low-current inverters (max. 120–150 W)

Low-power inverters can be connected to the standard 12V cigarette lighter socket(s). In base version, the EXPLORER / KARAVAN / NOMAD models have 2 such connectors, while the SCOUT model has 1.

The current draw of inverters connected to these sockets is protected by the blade fuses assigned to groups 1 and 2 (10A by default). Fuse values can be adjusted to the needs of the given inverter, but only by a professional.

Important: Before connection, always verify that the current draw (A) of the inverter does not exceed the nominal value of the assigned fuse. The typical load capacity of cigarette lighter sockets is 10–15A.

2. Connecting medium-current inverters (300–600 W)

For medium-power inverters, use of the 50A Anderson connector is recommended. This connection point allows the inverter to receive energy directly from the main battery supply through the internal wiring of the EnergonX unit.

This connection point is protected by the AGU type replaceable 50A glass fuse installed in the unit.

After connection, it must be checked that the main switch (main breaker) is in the ON position, otherwise the inverter will not receive supply voltage.

3. Connecting high-current inverters (800–1500 W or more)

High-power inverters are connected through the 120A Anderson connector. This connection point provides the highest current-capacity DC supply available in the EnergonX system.

Base EnergonX units are equipped with an 80A automatic main breaker (main switch). This protection trips in the event of short circuit or overload and at the same time limits the continuous available output power. In practice, in a 12V system this can be considered roughly suitable up to around 800W of inverter load.

If you want to connect an inverter with more than 800W continuous power, the main breaker must be replaced with a value sized according to the DC-side current requirement of the inverter.

For example, for a 12V, 1500W continuous / 3000W peak inverter, installation of at least a 200A main breaker is recommended.
