Battery Back Up

[PasoFish89]

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right forum or even appropriate to post. I have NO connection with costco, however I was just looking at upgrading my whole house generator to an auto switch over instead of the manual switch over one I have right now. I found that costco just started carrying the Ecoflow Delta battery power generator/back up stations. They are running a sale on them and they seem super fairly priced for what you get (Various models and wattages). Anyone who is a costco member can view the sale price I think.

Has anyone had a chance to use one of these Ecoflow Delta battery generator systems yet? They're pretty new to the market and they seem like a great fit for aquarium use.

Would like to have a whole house generator. I use ecotech battery back up for the tank
It has 30 hours of pump run time.

I did a whole house on a budget. I got a champion dual fuel 10kw that I have to manually switch over with a set up I had an electrician install...Instead of a transfer switch, he wired in a breaker that due to an interlock device, can only be switched on if the main power is switched off. Its a lot cheaper than installing an actual switchover and just as safe. Generator was 700 bucks on sale and the switch plus install was 600. Works great so far, we lose power a lot where I'm at.

I don't actually have power outages that are lengthy in time but last year we were out 8 hours. I'd love to get something like you described to. The battery walls intrigue me because they can power your house at night and recharge during the day. Plus if you use them at night your energy bill will go down. I have an 11w solar system now and would like to integrate with a power wall to
