How is the estimated backup duration on my Base App
If solar is actively charging your battery during an outage, your backup duration may extend beyond the app''s estimate. Solar isn''t currently factored into the calculation because predicting
The Backup Power Battery Runtime for Power Outages Calculator helps you determine how long your backup battery system will sustain power during these outages. This tool is particularly useful for homeowners, business operators, and anyone responsible for critical infrastructure.
The average power outage in Texas lasts 2.5 hours. At low energy use, the single-unit Base battery can protect an average household for 20 hours. At moderate energy use, backup duration is typically 12-14 hours. You can extend this time by using fewer power-hungry appliances.
When the grid is working and chances of outages are low, Base sends some energy from the battery back to the power grid. This process is called grid-balancing. Base batteries deploy energy to the grid faster than any other service, which is how Base is able to recoup the cost of the battery equipment and keep prices low for homeowners.
The batteries charge during off-peak hours, like midday and late at night, when energy is more available and demand is low. When the grid goes down, the battery hub separates your house from the grid and all the energy in the battery goes to power your home.
