How much current does the base station battery charge

How does a base battery work?

This process is called grid-balancing. Base batteries deploy energy to the grid faster than any other service, which is how Base is able to recoup the cost of the battery equipment and keep prices low for homeowners. The charge level of your Base battery will naturally fluctuate over time, rising and falling throughout a multi-day cycle.

Do base batteries run in two directions?

Base batteries run in two directions, which is how Base is able to keep costs low for homeowners. The batteries charge during off-peak hours, like midday and late at night, when energy is more available and demand is low.

What is a base battery system?

The Base battery system is built for performance and reliability. It combines a high-capacity lithium iron battery with intelligent software to optimize energy use. The Base battery system has three main components: the battery pack, inverter, and hub. The long white unit is the battery pack. We mount the battery pack on the ground.

What is a battery energy storage system?

A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.

What happens if a battery is in a room?

If the battery is in a room, the lost energy is released into the air as heat. As a battery's power throughput is only limited by the power demanded and supplied, it can take any amount of power and supply any amount of power. This means that it can exceed the ratings of even heavy cables.

Why does my base battery fluctuate over time?

The charge level of your Base battery will naturally fluctuate over time, rising and falling throughout a multi-day cycle. This is a normal and necessary part of how the system operates, ensuring the smooth functioning of our grid-balancing efforts.
