I'm intrigued at the backup possibilities, because we live in a forested area of the northeast where outages are common during storms. But at 3Kw a single unit isn't large enough to power our entire home, and I didn't see a figure for how long it can operate at peak load. If I need two then we're getting closer to the cost of a natural gas fired generator. This analysis, of course, is completely ignoring the environmental benefits.

- SeoxyS 12y ago3kW is the power, 10kWh is the energy. Your 10kWh battery would discharge in 3h20min at peak power. Or, you could listen to music on your 250W sound system for 40h.
- ericd 12y agoI thought he said the wall unit was 10 kwh? EDIT: Unless you mean it's limited to a 3 kw power draw - looks like it's 3.3 peak and 2 continuous.
- toephu2 12y agocan we just try living without electricity for 2 days? millions of humans did it for hundreds of years prior to us and they managed just fine
