I was fortunate enough to hear about this product under nondisclosure. To the best of my knowledge the pricing hasn't been released yet.

They claim the storage is good for 1.2kWh with a standard load of 275watts and peak of 550watts. Even if you used 80% of that battery it is not much power so those batteries better be low in price which I suspect they are not.

Interesting. What is the cost and life expectancy of those batteries?
