Home battery [View all]
Hello out there!!!
Does anyone have any experience with a "home battery"?
Apparently one of these can keep your home powered for three days in the event of a power failure.
You have to run it every day whether you need to use it or not in order to keep in charged.
They cost around $15,000.00 and are installed by a person that is specially trained to do it.
By the time you are done with it, the cost is $28,000+ because of the installation costs.
A home battery is said to last for 10 years and it needs to be replaced after that.
Any help at all is appreciated.
Thanks very much.
