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

My suggestion if you have $7k is to build your own (before tax):

1. Heavy duty metal shelf ($100)
2. 10kW 48V Solar Hybrid Inverter Split-Phase 200A MPPT Solar Charge ($1669)
3. 8 x Renogy 48V 50Ah LiFePO4 Smart ($640 each during Black Friday x 8 = $5120)
4. Battery cables ($100)

Result:
19200 Wh vs 12000 Wh (60% gain)
LiFePO4 pouch cells vs prismatic cells (lighter)
No doubt a DYI kit would be cheaper spec for spec but there is something to be said about time is money and some people just either don't have the time or knowledge to do a DIY solution.
This is a LiFePo battery backup system that have warranty and customer service.
The closest DIY kit is an EG4 60000XP with the PowerPro 14. kWh battery which is $5500 vs this $7000 for 12 kWh.

1. Yes

2 and 3. No, doesn't work like that.
I believe you're incorrect about (2) if you get the Smart Panel 2.
Don't know about (3).

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?
Not exactly AA sized, about 2-3x as large but same idea. However, I would Really Be Surprised if a
Unit this size would use those. The 1kwh battery I built only uses 4 prismatic cells, not zillions of cylinder batts.

The Prius doesn't have bi-directional charging.
Tesla Cybertruck. Yours today for the low-low price of $100,000 and you can bi-directionally charge at 12KWh output.

Or you can buy a dual fuel generator for $1000 and go .. much longer

The problem, even with Teslas, are that the batteries do degrade. Something like 5-10% the first year.

I would never advocate any Tesla product but for a few this unit makes sense as it's dual purpose being portable power.
LiFePo batteries have a better degradation compared to Lithium-ion NMC, far less than your claim of 5-10% first year. These are not the same batteries in your laptop or cellphones.

In non-flyover states, it costs anywhere from 50 to 70 cents per kw during peak hours. So that's about $8 of energy based on today's rates. It's only going to get more expensive with each passing year. For CA homeowners that regularly use 12 kWh during peak hours, this would pay for itself in about 3 years when considering the TOU delta between peak and off peak hours.
For CA homeowners it could be even more soon. A bill in the legislature would also determine the price of electricity based on how much you make.

Take something out of the ground, light it, and it burns as fuel ..... and that unnatural ... But dig up trace amounts of cobalt, magnesium, toxic lithium, and use toxic chemicals to work with them, and manipulate them using other manmade specialized machinery, to create a battery pack that will pollute the earth when it's buried, rather than biodegrading ...... but the battery is the natural option ... LOL.

Wake up. The matrix has you.
Everything is clean over here we will have no jobs but it will be clean unlike china with tons of jobs and tons of pollution!Mad The Green new Scam!EEK!

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.
Yeah but I'd rather use a lifepo for home power vs a more expensive battery with fewer cycles in my car that will cost a pretty penny to replace

This is one of those items you can wait and wait for, but when you actually need it, you don't have it. The waiting approach would seemingly make more sense for a frill purchase. We went two weeks without power during an ice storm and I convinced myself I needed a Generac/Natural gas generator. That was 17 years ago and we haven't lost power for more than three hours since.

This is a non-vital purchase for most.

The same? One has a fixed capacity but can be charged with solar, the other has an "unlimited" capacity as long as your fuel doesn't run out.
You forgot one thing that gas is not free.

We are talking about using it as a home power backup system. You would need it maybe 1 to 3 times a year max. We are not talking about using it every day. In the grand scheme of things, it's not going to degrade much to the car battery.

But right now, as someone else said, there's just not many options out there except huge pickup trucks even though there's no reason it can't be done with all EVs.

Your 10-20k "installed" is misleading when compared to this deal… since both will need professional install for the transfer switch, which will be most of the install cost. Gas is negligible, propane depends heavily on your company and where the generator/tanks are.
This battery backup is only 7,200W output… and you still need to buy the transfer switch. If that's all you need, you can get a 7,500W Generac with no sales of any kind for 2,000$ with a transfer switch included.

This battery backup is tiny, it's basically a portable generator… not really equivalent to what I'd consider a whole house generator, that's more in the 24-26kW range.

How does this compare to whole house natural gas generator? About the same price. What happens when batteries need to replaced in 5-10 years ? How much do those cost
I got a portable Firman trifuel for $700 including taxes and had an electician install a power inlet for $1200 including parts and labor. THat powers everyting including furnace except for AC which needs a soft start circuit but I can live without that.

This will run my entire house? Is this portable in the sense I can charge it at a free electric car charging station when its running low?
