Tesla Megapack 2 XL
Commercial and utility battery energy storage system
Megapack 2 XL is an integrated utility-scale battery system. Tesla Powerhub provides site and battery-block monitoring, historical reports and data exports; Tesla also documents third-party DERMS telemetry integration and its Powerhub API. Start with a site report and meter comparison, then request the project telemetry interface for automation.

Compatibility
Direct Edge integration not yet verified
Tesla documents Powerhub exports and telemetry integration with third-party DERMS. Its public support page does not supply the project API schema or a local Modbus map. Use the site’s Powerhub access first; agree the endpoint, authentication and available read fields once with the project team. A direct Edge installation remains unverified.
Megapack 2 XL part family 1848844-x*y*-z* in Tesla emergency guide revision 2.8. Confirm exact project hardware, software, warranty, service and site-control contract. No Tesla, protection, fire or market authority is transferred.
Models
| Models | Interface | Route into Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Megapack 2 XL, part family 1848844-x*y*-z* | Integrated battery modules, inverter, thermal systems and Tesla software | Use existing Powerhub reports for a first comparison; request project telemetry access for automated collection. |
| Megapack and Megapack 2 | Earlier part families with different voltage, mass and enclosure specifications | Do not transfer Megapack 2 XL dimensions, limits or interface assumptions. |
Specifications
Powerhub combines site meters, individual battery blocks and other energy assets in one monitoring platform. Tesla documents historical trends, custom reports, data export and telemetry integration into third-party DERMS.1
- Exact family
- Megapack 2 XL, part family 1848844-x*y*-z*2
- Maximum system voltage
- Below 1,230 V DC; 480 V AC2

Interface
Documented measurements and integration boundaries for Megapack 2 XL.
- Potential identity, availability, state, power, energy, state of charge, temperatures and alarms require a Tesla-approved project interface.
- Megapack, site controller, revenue meter, protection relay and market platform values remain distinct records with source and timestamp.
- Fire detection, emergency response, high-voltage isolation and service procedures remain solely under Tesla and the approved site plan.
- No dispatch, charge, discharge, reactive-power, grid-service, protection, reset or emergency command is approved by this guide.
Assessment
Megapack 2 XL part family 1848844-x*y*-z* in Tesla emergency guide revision 2.8. Confirm exact project hardware, software, warranty, service and site-control contract. No Tesla, protection, fire or market authority is transferred.
- InteroperabilityLimited
- Tesla documents report exports, Powerhub API dispatch and telemetry integration into third-party DERMS. Endpoint and schema details remain project-specific, so this is an integration starting point rather than an open local map.12
- AccuracyNot yet assessed
- The externally readable point set, units, sign conventions, quality states and freshness rules are not established.12
- SecurityNot yet assessed
- Authentication, encryption, roles and read-only privilege separation for an independent client are not defined in the retained public sources.12
- ReliabilityLimited
- System operating limits are published, while client recovery, stale-data behaviour and concurrent-client limits remain project-specific.12
- RuggednessSupported with conditions
- The emergency guide publishes approximate enclosure and voltage data; installation and emergency plans govern the actual project.12
Setup
-
Confirm the delivered system
Record every enclosure, battery rack, PCS, BMS, EMS, meter and controller identity, plus firmware, software, network and contract revisions.
-
Map authority before data
Document which system owns charge and discharge, protection, fire and life safety, grid control, market dispatch, settlement, warranty and emergency response.
-
Start with a Powerhub export
Use the site’s Powerhub account to inspect a historical trend and export a report. Identify which series belongs to the site meter and which to an individual battery block; retain the export’s time zone, interval and units. For automated collection, request the project telemetry interface and available read fields from Tesla. The public page describes the capability, not a universal API URL or register map.
-
Compare the battery feeder with the site meter
Compare battery-block data with the battery AC feeder meter over the same recorded interval. Treat the whole-site meter separately because it also includes other loads and generation. Check power direction during an existing scheduled charge and discharge, and mark missing or delayed cloud data rather than turning it into zero power. Keep dispatch in the existing Tesla or site-control system.
