Briggs & Stratton home battery

Briggs & Stratton has introduced its SimpliPHI 6.6 home battery system.

The battery, said the energy firm, “uses advanced lithium ferro phosphate chemistry and can provide enough power to get a home through a ‘typical’ outage.”

Delivering 6.65 kWh of energy, it can be installed in stacks of one to three; and for increased power, said the company, a system can be scaled to six stacks of three with the 18 batteries delivering 119.7 kWh with maximum continuous power of 84 kW.

With the average power outage in the U.S. lasting 5.5 hours, said the firm, a one-battery SimpliPHI 6.6 system can meet the needs of many homeowners by delivering more than 10 hours of power at 50% backup load.

This battery system can be used as an alternative to a standby generator, offering additional installation flexibility and versatility.
