Battery Questions Answered

Battery Backup FAQ for Texas Homeowners

What's the difference between battery backup and a generator?

Generators burn fuel to create electricity on demand — they're powerful but require fuel storage, maintenance, and produce noise and exhaust. Batteries store electricity silently, require no fuel, and switch on instantly during outages. Many homeowners combine both: batteries for short outages and convenience, generators for extended events.

Do I need solar panels to use battery backup?

No — battery systems can charge from the grid during low-rate hours and discharge during peak rates or outages. However, pairing batteries with solar gives you true energy independence: your panels charge your batteries during the day, and your batteries power your home at night or during outages.

How long will battery backup power my home?

It depends on your battery capacity and what you're powering. A single EG4 battery (5.12 kWh) can run a refrigerator, lights, and phone chargers for 8-12 hours. Larger multi-battery systems can power more loads for longer — or even your whole home for a full day. We'll size your system to match your backup goals.

Why do you install EG4 batteries?

EG4 offers excellent value — solid performance, modular design, and competitive pricing. Their lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry is safer and longer-lasting than other lithium types. We can stack multiple batteries as your needs grow. They're a practical choice for Brazos Valley homeowners who want reliable backup without premium pricing.

How long do home batteries last?

EG4 batteries use LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 6,000+ cycles — that's over 15 years of daily use. They come with a 10-year warranty. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries maintain capacity well throughout their lifespan.

Can I add more batteries later?

Yes — EG4 systems are modular. Start with one or two batteries to cover essentials, then add more capacity as your budget allows or needs change. We design your initial installation with expansion in mind.

Will battery backup work during a grid outage?

Absolutely — that's the primary purpose. When grid power fails, your battery system automatically disconnects from the grid and powers your backed-up circuits. If you have solar, your panels can continue charging your batteries during the outage, extending your runtime indefinitely on sunny days.

How much does home battery backup cost?

A basic EG4 battery system for essential circuits starts around $5,000-$7,000 installed. Larger whole-home systems with multiple batteries range from $12,000-$20,000+. We'll provide a detailed quote based on your specific backup requirements and goals.
