How many watts do I need for my battery backup?
1 People found this useful!
The battery capacity (kW) should match the total backup requirements for your home appliances. To determine the appropriate size, consider the following:
- The maximum load power (kW) listed on your utility bill for whole-home backup.
- The total capacity (kW) of your home appliances that require backup.
- The maximum Locked Rotor Amperage (LRA) rating of motor loads, such as air conditioners and swimming pool pumps.
- The amount of time you want the batteries to supply backup power.
