I picked this mainly for wildfire season outages and the built-in NEMA 14-30R for backup power transfer. Also experimenting with recharging from my EV's 12V port (~100W trickle). Considering a VortiPower setup to pull faster DC charge from the EV if needed.
This isn't a perfect system (yet), but for a plug-and-play battery backup kit with 240V output and decent support, it checks a lot of boxes.

- Setup is dead simple, and the app works decently well for basic monitoring.
- UPS mode works, but there are a few quirks (see below).
- With 20kWh capacity, this should get us through ~2-3 days of backup for essentials (fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, etc.).
- Great build quality and nearly silent operation – ideal for indoor use or apartment setups where gas gennies aren't an option.

The vortipowrr is hella neat but.. is it vaporware? Lots of photoshopped images on their site and "shipments estimated April 2025". Seems like it never happened?
