Home Backup

When the grid fails, your essentials stay on.

Power outages aren't just inconvenient. They're disruptive in ways that compound by the hour. The food in your refrigerator warms. The sump pump stops. Your CPAP machine can't run through the night. Your phone battery ticks down with no way to recharge. If you or a family member rely on medical equipment, an outage isn't just annoying—it's dangerous.

A home backup battery isn't about running your whole house. It's about keeping the things that matter most running until the power comes back—or until you can get to a place where it's on.

Our 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery, with its 1280 watt-hours of stored energy, is sized perfectly for this role. It won't power your air conditioner or your electric oven, but it will power the devices that make a blackout manageable rather than miserable.

Let's walk through a realistic outage scenario. The power goes out at 8 PM during a winter storm. You connect the battery to an inverter. Your CPAP machine—essential for a safe night's sleep—draws 30-40 watts and runs for 8 hours. Total consumption: about 320 watt-hours. Your refrigerator cycles on and off to keep food cold, drawing about 100-150 watts when running, and running roughly a third of the time. Over 12 hours, that's about 500 watt-hours. Your router and modem keep you connected to the outside world, drawing about 15 watts continuously. Add some LED lights at 10 watts, and your total consumption over a 12-hour outage is around 1,000 watt-hours—well within the battery's capacity, with energy to spare.

For medical equipment, the stakes are higher and the battery's reliability matters even more. CPAP and BiPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, electric wheelchair chargers, and medication refrigeration all require dependable power. This battery's stable voltage output and true deep-cycle capability mean consistent, predictable performance when it matters most. There's no voltage sag that might cause sensitive equipment to shut down. There's no need to ration usage to protect the battery from damage.

Unlike a gas generator, this battery operates silently and produces no exhaust. You can run it indoors, in an apartment, in a closed garage—anywhere you need power. There's no fuel to store and rotate, no carburetor to clean, no pull-start to wrestle with in the dark and cold. It's ready when you need it, with zero preparation.

When the grid comes back, the battery recharges efficiently from any standard outlet or, if you have solar panels, from the sun. It returns to full capacity and waits, silently, for the next time it's needed. With a 10-year lifespan and no maintenance requirements, it's a backup solution that doesn't demand constant attention—just quiet, reliable readiness.

Home backup isn't about preparing for doomsday. It's about knowing that when the power goes out—and it will—the things that matter most will keep running. Your medical equipment. Your food. Your connection to the world. That's not luxury. That's peace of mind.
