Further, when the power goes out you limit your consumption. With a connected home, running on battery power could widen the acceptable temperature range, run only one bulb in a multi-bulb array, or even disconnect certain outlets in a home. Even cutting to 80%, you get an extra hour. 50%, and you've got 4. I am having a hard time finding refrigerator specifics, but around 1000KWh annually seems to be on the high side. This gives you 1.5 days on the 4.25KWh battery.
