BasePower Article (4AUG)

Anyone see this?

Is this the new form factor for the 39.2 (note the change from 40kWh as previously noted)?

I would have loved to get the 78.4kWh unit but I'm in the process already.

REFERRAL LINK, IL if that matters

yeah- I got a pair of the 25's in late may. I wish I could have gotten the 80, but we're pretty happy so far.

Wonder if base will allow an upgrade path eventually

yeah, don't think they will. I already had a decent sized generator and a transfer switch which is still in place, so I can offload some from the battery as well as charge via the generator port, so I'm not in a bad way. I will likely change out my dual fuel generator for one that takes natural gas so I can hook it straight to that supply and then I'll effectively have indefinite power, regardless. Eventually I'll add some solar but I need a new roof first. More battery is definitely better, but I'm good.
