Understanding how Base charges and discharges
In this post, we''ll help you understand your battery''s state of charge, explain how it connects to energy rates and outage protection, and clear up a few
How much battery capacity does the base station use? The average battery capacity required by a base station ranges from 15 to 50 amp-hours (Ah), depending on the base station's operational demands and the technologies it employs. 1.
The batteries charge during off-peak hours, like midday and late at night, when energy is more available and demand is low. When the grid goes down, the battery hub separates your house from the grid and all the energy in the battery goes to power your home.
When the grid is working and chances of outages are low, Base sends some energy from the battery back to the power grid. 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.
A base charge is a charge assessed during each billing cycle that's not based on your demand for energy consumption. – Spark Energy Spark Energy FAQ > Arizona, California, Florida, General FAQ, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Texas
