Determining that it’s time to outfit your home with a home battery backup is one thing. Then you potentially have to install an alternative energy system, determine how many batteries you need, what sorts of other electrical infrastructure are necessary (inverters, switches and more) and settle on a place for the batteries themselves. This short post should help with that.

The breadth of lithium battery chemistry is incredibly complex, and there are no longer just lithium-ion, lithium-cobalt-oxide (LCO), or lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide batteries on the market. There are also alternatives like lithium iron phosphate, also known as LFP or LiFePO4 batteries, which offer some significant benefits over these as well as traditional lead-acid batteries....
The word “nexus” is a rarely used one in English, but it is an appropriate name for the NEXUS batteries available at BigBattery.
It means, roughly, “that that interconnects with something else,” but it carries connotations of being a link in a chain where something is coming, something highly anticipatory.
That’s fitting, considering what the 48V...
Ever heard of an MID? In the electrical industry, it stands for “microgrid interconnection device,” and models like the EG4 GridBOSS lead the market.
Here’s what to know from a high level.
What Is an MID?
As stated, in this instance MID stands for microgrid interconnection device. In a nutshell, an MID like the EG4 GridBOSS serves as the point of...
Since lithium is in the name of both lithium-ion and lithium-iron-phosphate (also known as LFP) batteries, you might think they’re effectively the same.
There are many similarities, that is true, but the battery chemistry between the two is different enough that they offer slightly different performance attributes. Here’s what you should know from a high level.
How Are...
Lithium iron phosphate, or LFP batteries, are only one class of lithium battery. Yet they are superior in many ways to other types of lithium batteries. Here are just a few of the advantages of lithium batteries sporting this chemistry.
One of the main selling points of lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry is its inherent stability. It is less likely to experience thermal...
With a name like EG4 12kPV it shouldn’t be a surprise that most homeowners might not reasonably know what to make of it. The main thing you need to know is that this is an inverter. Fortunately, this post will break down some of the details.
What Is a Solar Inverter?
Before we get into what a solar inverter is and does, it is important to establish that inverters are...
The EG4 indoor battery is a powerful, advanced lithium home battery that is available in configurations that are suitable for both on and off-grid use. With no further ado let’s put it under the microscope:
The EG4 indoor battery offers up to 200A of continuous use, enough to power many single family homes (and more than one can be incorporated into a home battery backup).
It...
Demanding environments require serious equipment for alternative power and emergency backup. That’s where solutions like the EG4 PowerPro all-weather battery come into sharp focus.
Here’s your breakdown.
A 50,000 Foot View
To keep things as simple as possible, the EG4 PowerPro is a LiFePO4 all-weather battery designed to deliver reliable results in extreme environments....
You’ve heard of the many virtues of home battery backup systems with advanced, modern lithium batteries, like LiFePO4 (or LFP) batteries. They are lighter, have higher energy density, last longer, provide more consistent output, and are easier to maintain, to name just a few.
But they are still batteries, and batteries are complex electrical devices that must be properly used and kept up...
