What is a Home Backup Battery?

Home backup batteries caught more and more people’s attention and are enjoying a surge in popularity since it is essential that power be incessantly supplied in today’s digital age.


Generally, home backup batteries refer to a set of electrical systems that provide an emergency electricity source during times of power outage. They usually come in the form of power stations or solar generators. When an outage happens, these whole home battery backups can be used to power basic home appliances, such as fridges, microwave ovens, and so on. Besides, they can also charge your necessary devices like mobile phones and tablets.


To sum up, the backup batteries for homes can keep your lights on and your electronics running, and prevent your food from perishing in case a power outage is present. And, it is believable that home backup batteries will become an indispensable component in the blueprint for home configuration in the future.

Anker SOLIX has redefined home backup power with its new game-changing product, Anker SOLIX F3800. With four power options, you have the flexibility to run your home as you like.

Battery Type:

Lithium-ion batteries are very popular to be used as home backup batteries due to their high energy density and lighter weight. However, LiFePO4 batteries are increasingly favored for portable power stations due to their superior safety, longer lifespan, and stable performance over many charge cycles. They offer a reliable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, with reduced risk of thermal runaway.

Capacity:

The capacity of a home battery backup determines how much energy it can store and subsequently supply to your devices or appliances. For home backup purposes, especially when considering appliances that consume a lot of electricity, a larger capacity battery (measured in Wh) is preferable.

Power Output:

The power output of the backup battery dictates what types of devices it can power simultaneously. For high wattage needs, ensure the power station can handle the peak wattage of your devices.

Solar Charging Speed:

If the battery is part of a solar generator setup, the input charging speed is crucial. It determines how quickly the battery can recharge from solar panels. Higher input means quicker recharging times, which is essential for maintaining power availability during extended outages.

Portability and Design:

Consider the portability of the battery backup if you may need to move it around. Portable power stations and solar panels are usually lightweight and compact for easier transport. This mobility ensures flexibility in deploying your power backup solution across different locations or during emergencies.

Charge the Portable Power Station:

Before initial use, you should always fully charge the portable power station using a wall outlet, car charger, or solar panels if equipped. This ensures that the battery is at maximum capacity and ready to provide backup power when needed.

Connect Devices to the battery backup:

Identify the AC outlets, DC ports, and may other ports on the portable power station. Connect your devices using appropriate cables and adapters with the backup battery. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the power station's rated capacity. Identify the AC outlets, DC ports, USB ports, and any other available ports on the portable power station.

Monitor and Maintain the backup battery:

Keep an eye on the power station's display or use companion apps to monitor battery levels and charging status. Recharge the power station as needed to maintain sufficient backup power readiness.

Power Through Blackouts

  • In an instant, blackouts can disrupt your life. They could last a few minutes or multiple weeks, causing frustration, worry, and concern.
  • Luckily, you can stay prepared for any situation with Anker SOLIX portable power stations. Power through blackouts with always-ready power.

FAQ about Home Backup Power

Q1: What power is required for a portable power station to run a refrigerator as a backup battery?

A typical household refrigerator requires a continuous power supply of around 100 to 200 watts, but this wattage can spike up to 600-800 during startup. So, as a home backup battery, the portable power station should at least have a power output of 500 watts to compensate for the power surge during startup and the continuous power need.
The Anker SOLIX F3800 and F2000 are perfectly capable backup power sources and can be considered here.

Q2: How long will a whole house battery backup last?

The detailed usage time of a home backup battery can vary depending on the devices you're powering. Take Anker SOLIX F3800 portable power station as an example, the model boasts a substantial 3840 watt-hours and offers the ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Based on the device's specifications and various user experiences, it could theoretically power an LED bulb for 36.4 hours, a TV for 20.1 hours and a common refrigerator for about 14.9 hours.

Q3: Is a 6kW portable power station enough to serve as a home backup battery?

A 6000W battery may be sufficient to operate some essentials in your household, such as a TV, a toaster or several LEB bulbs. However, it’s not likely adequate to run everything under normal use, especially during peak energy usage times or for power-hungry appliances like air conditioners, electric heaters, or electric stoves. The more power you use, the faster the battery will drain.

Q4: Are solar generators better than traditional ones for home battery backup?

A solar generator is always the better choice for home backup power if you value quiet operation, minimal maintenance, and renewable energy. For prolonged outages spanning days or weeks, or for high-powered appliances, traditional generators typically offer greater power capacity and duration.

Q5: What type of maintenance does a solar generator require as a home battery backup power solution?

The maintenance of a solar generator as a backup battery for your home can be summarized into three major points:
 
Battery Care:
The battery of a solar generator is crucial, and its maintenance affects the performance and lifespan of the system. To make sure it lasts long, you should keep it charged but not overcharged.
Cleaning Solar Panels:
The solar panels ought to remain clean for maximum efficiency. Dust, grime, and other particles can block sunlight, thus reducing efficiency. Cleaning them regularly helps maintain the generator's performance.
Regular Checkups:
Like any other system, a solar generator's performance depends on the condition of its parts. Regularly inspecting all components of the system and replacing any damaged or worn-out parts is crucial for maintaining optimal performance.

Q6: Do battery backups use a lot of electricity?

Portable power stations and solar generators, when used as home battery backups, are designed with efficiency in mind, minimizing power draw during standby or idle periods. While they consume more electricity when actively charging or discharging, their overall energy usage remains modest compared to larger household appliances. This makes them cost-effective solutions for providing backup power without significantly impacting electricity bills, especially given their reliance on renewable energy sources like solar power.


Q7: What should be plugged into a battery backup?

When considering what to plug into a home battery backup, focus on three major types of devices:

1. Computers and Networking Equipment: This includes desktop computers, servers, and networking devices like routers and modems. Protecting these devices ensures uninterrupted work and connectivity during power outages, preventing data loss or network downtime.

2. Home Office Equipment: Printers, scanners, and other essential office peripherals should be connected to a backup battery. This safeguards against abrupt power cuts that could disrupt workflow or damage sensitive components.

3. Entertainment Systems: Televisions, gaming consoles, and audio equipment benefit from being plugged into a battery backup for home. This protects expensive electronics from power surges and provides uninterrupted entertainment during unexpected power interruptions.

By prioritizing these types of devices for connection to a backup battery, you enhance both productivity and protection against potential electrical disturbances.


Q8: What is the Warranty Policy of Anker SOLIX Home Battery Backup Products?

Anker SOLIX offers 5 to 10-year warranty for all the backup batteries products. Each pre-owned and refurbished product features its own warranty, detailed within the product listing.
