Practical power for real-life needs
AFERIY P280-B 2048Wh expansion battery for the P280
A 2048Wh LiFePO4 expansion battery that takes the P280 system up to 10.24kWh with four modules for home backup, solar storage and longer trips.
The P280-B adds 2048Wh exclusively to the AFERIY P280, allowing the system to grow in stages to a 10.24kWh reserve.

AFERIY P280-B 2048Wh expansion battery for the P280
A single P280-B doubles the P280’s starting reserve. Further modules can be added over time, growing the system from 2.048kWh to 10.24kWh without replacing the main station.
✓Substantial capacity per module
The first battery takes the system to 4096Wh.
✓Build multi-day reserve
Four batteries deliver 10.24kWh with the P280.
✓Store more solar generation
Extra capacity captures more energy on productive days.
✓Centralised operation
Appliances remain connected to the P280.
Make an informed choice
Why choose this model – and what are the compromises?
The strongest reasons to buy
- Each module adds the equivalent of the P280’s original capacity.
- Up to four batteries make multi-day essential backup realistic with controlled loads.
- LiFePO4 chemistry and 4000-plus cycles suit regular solar or backup use.
What to know before you decide
- It works only with the P280 and cannot operate as an independent power station.
- Several 2kWh modules require careful planning for space, weight, ventilation and cables.
What can it realistically power?
Watts determine whether an appliance can start. Watt-hours determine how long it can run. Motors, pumps and compressors may draw far more power at startup than during normal operation.
| Device / use | Suitability | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| AFERIY P280 | Suitable | The module is designed for the P280 expansion interface. |
| Other AFERIY power stations | Not suitable | P180, P210 and other ranges do not use the same system connection. |
| Directly powering a device | Not suitable | All loads remain connected to the P280. |
| Storing solar power overnight | Suitable | Extra capacity shifts more daytime generation into evenings and cloudy periods. |
| Output above 2800W | Not suitable | Capacity extends runtime but does not increase inverter output. |
Real-world runtime examples
Approximate figures based on around 85% usable energy. Actual runtime depends on the appliance, efficiency and duty cycle.
Where this model fits in the AFERIY range
| Model | Best suited to | Key difference |
|---|---|---|
| P180-B | A more compact P180 Pro system | 1024Wh per module and no compatibility with P280. |
| P280-B | P280 backup for home, workshop or off-grid use | 2048Wh per module and up to 10.24kWh total. |
| Second P280 | Two independent power units | More redundancy and outlets, but a much larger investment. |
Size your battery properly before buying
1. List your devices
Add up their wattage and estimate how many hours each one will run per day.
2. Calculate watt-hours
Watts x hours gives the energy required. Allow roughly 15% conversion loss for AC appliances.
3. Keep a safety margin
An extra 20 to 30% covers startup surges, cold weather and weaker-than-expected solar generation.
Our honest assessment
How to protect the battery over time
Use it in a dry, well-ventilated area and keep all vents clear. For longer storage, leave it at a mid-level charge, check it periodically and follow the manufacturer’s temperature guidance.
What that means in everyday use
Home backup
Extend refrigeration, broadband and essential appliance runtime.
Motorhome use
Stay off-grid longer between hook-ups.
Workshop and solar
Store more energy for tools and equipment.
A strong choice if…
you own a P280 and want a staged route from 2kWh to 4, 6, 8 or 10kWh.
Consider another model if…
you use another power station or need a universal standalone battery.
What to check before you buy
P280 compatibility only. Plan for the space, weight and connection cables required by a multi-battery system.

Questions buyers often ask
Can it power an appliance directly?
Main appliances connect to the P280.
Will it fit a P210 or P310?
No, it is specific to the P280.
How does the system reach 10.24kWh?
2048Wh in the P280 plus four 2048Wh batteries.
Does it increase the 2800W output?
No, it extends runtime only.
