Backup by Biolite is a giant (but sleek!) battery that keeps your fridge running during outages

BioLite's Backup home battery system offers a convenient solution for power outages, easily installed without professional help. Its sleek design allows for discreet placement in various locations within the home. The system functions similarly to a UPS, seamlessly switching to battery power during outages and recharging when power is restored. An accompanying app provides usage data and allows for on-demand or scheduled power usage. The Backup features multiple AC and USB ports, expanding power access during outages. It's available in two versions: Backup Complete (3 kWh) and Backup Core (1.5 kWh), offering varying power durations. The larger Complete model is eligible for a 30% tax rebate. Pricing starts at $2,000 for the Core and $3,000 for the Complete model. Pre-orders are open, with shipments expected in May. The system addresses the growing need for reliable home power backup during increasingly frequent outages.
