"We're addressing a very acute problem that consumers face, which is that electricity has gotten more expensive and less reliable," Zach Dell, 29, told Fortune. "It's totally crazy if you think of all the things that have gotten better over the last decade, and our power has gotten noticeably worse. Batteries, paired with software and a unique business model, can make your power more reliable and less expensive."
That capability translates into tangible runtime in the real world: you'll power a mini-fridge for around 10 hours, power a CPAP machine overnight over multiple nights, sustain laptops and cellphones for multiple days, or power LED lights for an extended time. With the 1,500W continuous AC output but 3,000W surge peak, this power station supports appliances drawing much power during startups such as refrigerators, portable air conditioners, or electric kettles.
