Batteries won't need to be replaced in 5-10 years. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are good for 10 years of full discharge every single day.... And at that 10-year point, they still have 80% of their capacity left. So if you ran this every other day to near empty, and recharged to full, you'd get 20 years out of this battery and still have 80%.

The price of batteries is dropping about 5% every couple of months. If you're going to spend this much on a battery, much better to get solar first. You can DIY a nice solar system with portable generator back up for the same price and still get the 30% rebate. Unless something happens, the price of these will keep going lower and lower. Better to wait

Whole house generators are roughly $10-20k installed. They'll run for much longer. They will be louder.

This one qualifies for a 30% tax credit and will last 10 years

Quote from oceanone :
question is if your GRID power goes out and you have $2000 worth of meat and food in your frezzer and after 2 days it got spoiled in an power outage ( which is common in hurricane and tornado areas like texas, florida, carolinas ) how much worth is now your $2 worth of electricity ?

this can power you frezzer and fridge for multiple days in an power outage.

but lets brake it down the other way $7000 cost basically zero maintained costs, by min, 10 year life span its less than $2 a day for piece of mind in case of an natural disaster with these states experience usually every years for at least 6 month ? majority of people spend more at DD or Starbucks for coffee every single day ! if you brake it down to 15 years which would be the average life span you will be down to $1.3 per day and gasoline generator costs you much more of this due to yearly/ half yearly maintenance and also keeping 20-30 gallons of gas in stock to run it isnt everyone favorite at all
My insurance has covered this in the past.

The only car/truck with active bidirectional charge is Ford F150. Lucid in theory has it but no home charge exists and never scene homeowner have it yet. VW and others claim will come but nothing yet.
Ford system has battery also and it's almost $8-10K for that to work.
The Ioniq 5 also provides bi-directional charging. Mine provides me with a 72 kWh generator. The new model is 77 kWh.

funny how vendors are so sure about these stats when they are really guessing based on estimates, because it can't be based on real usage. if they really believed it, wouldn't they warranty them for that long? the 5 year warranty shows their real confidence. this is the point when they've figured losses will exceed profits.

Quote from malch :
Here's a thing... this $7,000 product stores 12kWh of energy. At U.S. average residential rates, that's just a tad over $2 worth of electricity.

It's like storing your rice in solid gold containers.
The other thing that's funny is that while the calculations and all make sense here, it still winds up costing way more than that with all the overhead charges.

So this sort of thing really only makes sense if you can really disconnect from grid and utilize your own power generation, otherwise you're really not saving money unless you really do know how to utilize "off-peak" electricity arrangements and it still works out. Or you actually really just want to have a hyper backup of energy in case of an emergency, at that point that's up to you... I can get by on much smaller or nothing.

I'm basing this off my last electricity bill -

450 Kwh = $90

90/450 = $0.20 per kwh after overhead

After looking at this, it really doesn't make sense to have this for anything outside of some real emergency use scenarios...

Maybe it's me but at this stage it may be worth waiting a bit for a proper bidirectional EV charging.
For instance, Lucid already activated bidirectional charging where you can plug another EV into lucid and it charges them. Thats 80-90kw battery and a fun car to drive so a win win.
A Lucid is also starts at 10x the cost of this thing.

I think you're better off with the IRA unless you really think you need this for a power backup solution.

99% sure you'll rather the IRA

Quote from INeverPayRetail :
Would be nice if it was cost effective to have this utilized in a non-solar home for peak hours usage and recharge overnight at lower rates. But, even with the 30% tax credit and living in an area with obscene peak hour rates (@34 cents/kwh here), it probably doesn't pencil out.
this is a "never ever to get full payback" category. not even including an inlet plug, transfer switch, or a smart panel plus installation of them. people bend themselves every which way trying to convince themselves this is an investment, that will pay for itself. i guess guys feel better about the cash outlay if that were the case. imo, it's just an investment in security for you and your family. it's not bad that it has a cost. everything else does. having said all that, there's no other place i'd buy this then costco. costco's lifetime return option on this is invaluable (*it currently doesn't fall under their 90 day return limit, but it will someday, so hurry). the tax rebate is also very appealing.

A used 82 kWh battery pack from a Model Y cost only $4k. If we could just repurpose them instead...

That's with a plug for Ioniq. It can't power your home. Couple appliance and your tapped out

You realize the device you use to get online and comment also has a battery and is using electricity? Sorry to inform but you're right here in the matrix with us 😉
Honestly that guy would likely prefer to roll coal out of his android phone if he could.

Quote from WiseLeopard609 :
From my understanding this is just a ton of AA sized batteries linked together.

What happens if one of the individual batteries goes bad? Does the whole bank fail?
Most batteries are just a ton of batteries linked together. An AA battery is just a single 1.2-1.5V cell. AA is the size specification, which generally translate to capacity.

Link them together in series and you increase the voltage. Link them in parallel you increase the capacity.

A 9V battery is just 6 "AA batteries" in a box linked in series.

This isn't a "make a profit in the long term play" for most people, although depending on your energy generation capacity, grid electricity cost, it could be I guess. This is a flexible home backup, with easy integration for solar, custom TOU options, and even portable generator hookup with the right hardware.

The Costco warranty is a good point, I'd definitely recommend buying from them. Especially as it's just dropshipped from the same warehouse anyway whether you buy it from or elsewhere.

Guys if it's ,12 kilawatt hours . That's only 1500 watts for 12 hours of use. That sucks for 7 grand.
