Frequently Asked Questions about Battery Backup Systems FAQs
What is the difference between a battery backup and a UPS?
How long can a home battery backup system last?
The runtime of a whole-house battery backup system varies based on its storage capacity and your household’s energy consumption. For instance, a typical 10 kWh battery can power essential devices like lighting, a refrigerator, and select electronics for around 8 to 12 hours. Larger battery systems, such as those ranging from 15 to 20 kWh, can keep your home powered for approximately 12 to 24 hours or more. Actual duration depends heavily on the specific appliances you’re using and their power requirements.
Can a UPS power my entire home?
Generally, UPS systems are designed for critical circuits or specific electronics, not whole-home power. For complete home coverage, a larger battery backup or generator system is recommended.
How long could a battery backup power an air conditioner?
Running an air conditioner on a home battery backup depends heavily on the size of both the AC unit and the battery system. Here’s a breakdown:
A central air conditioner typically uses 3,000 to 5,000 watts per hour while running.
A 10 kWh battery could theoretically power a central AC for 2 to 3 hours, assuming no other loads are drawing power.
At that point, you may want to consider a generator or both.
