    You know what really grinds my gears? When big companies like Anker uses kickstarter for market size and potential research purposes, while also getting funding for their own r&d of the thing they want to create, when they could simply afford it themselves, thus making smaller startups and creators much harder to find and value.

      It's a relatively risk free version of market research, where you could also potentially get customers and funding for R&D, all for the low-low cost of setting up a kickstarter page with some rendered designs, as opposed to doing the market research in the old fashioned way which would be more costly and less indicative of real market penetration later on. Still, big companies doing this makes my stomach turn, and I hate that this has become business as usual.@@Tomazack

      I do not understand your aversion to a company trying to reduce their risk? Putting it on kickstarter allows them to gauge if there is a market for this type of product and for the customer to know that they will get an actual product in the end. It is not the R&D (that has been done you see the product is already created) It is more how much they should invest in manufacturing at scale.
      How does this really impact smaller startups and creators?

    There's an important figure that Jerry didn't mention - Runtime, aka "how long till the juice runs out". If the house is using 800W of power, and the battery has 3.8kWh of stored energy, that's a max runtime of only about 4 hours (You can see the remaining time on screen at about the 5:11 mark). Definitely something to keep in mind if you want to use this as a backup for any extended period of time.
    There are more cost-effective ways to do this with inverters and standalone batteries but the tradeoff is ease of installation. This setup certainly offers more portability - If you're going camping or need power elsewhere you can always lug this Anker unit along for the ride, though I expect that it weighs around 100 pounds or so.

    My solution for these cases has always been battery backup.
    I use a set of 12 Volt 100 Ah marine batteries. They are Lead-acid batteries with carbon-reinforced electrodes, so that the formation of lead sulphate do not kill the batteries.
    I use a pure sine wave 6 KVA inverter and a separate 3 KW charger, which can accept power from the grid, from solar cells and a wind turbine.
    The inverter and the charger are much more robust than a power bank, and the marine batteries last typically for ten years of service, and never set off fires like the lithium batteries sometime do.
    For a big agricultural house, it is easy to convert the backup system from one phase to three phases while keeping the same batteries.
    Marine Lead Acid batteries are the way to go.

      worth noting, that LIFE batteries, as these ones are, are much less likely to burn and combust into fire. You can find various videos about this on youtube these batteries are practically rocks compared to lipo batteries.
      Im sure you could get them to burn if you really tried but im also certain that the acid inside those batteries is not particularly healthy for one either. It's also worth considering that lead acid batteries tend to produce hydrogen when charging, which isnt a problem with sealed batteries but there are always concerns.

    Even at 45% off these things are nearly as expensive as Tesla Powerwall's BEFORE incentives. No contest after incentives or if you buy more than one Powerwall. Not to mention the warranty differences or cycle differences. If you need extreme portability sure. For home backup use alone that's a hard pass.

    I can see the merit for these big batteries if you live in a city or apartment but having lived in several big cities in NA over the years I’ve only lost power 3 times and two of those where for a couple of hours. If you’re out in the sticks where emergency power is important I’d just get a gas or diesel generator. With good maintenance they can last an outrageous amount of time and will be able to run for much longer. Maybe for RVers or lazy campers such a device would be good but these always seem like a ripoff for what they are.

But since we purchased an electric car 5 years ago, the generators don't see any use. They are around, they still work, but they are noisy, need gas in the middle of the night, carb maintenance and oil changes, and gas still gets expensive if you are running a gen for days at a time. All always keep them both around, but when you have the choice, the battery always makes more sense.
