Your Base dashboard shows your battery’s charge level percentage and an estimated backup duration — giving you an idea of how long your battery can power your home during an outage.
The estimated backup duration (in hours) is calculated based on the last 15 minutes of usage. As your usage decreases, the estimate will increase.
Important note:
If solar is actively charging your battery during an outage, your backup duration may extend beyond the app's estimate. Solar isn’t currently factored into the calculation because predicting future solar production accurately isn’t possible.
Tips to extend your backup time:
The easiest way to extend your backup duration is by lowering your household energy consumption — turning off non-essential appliances and reducing overall usage. If solar is available and charging your battery, it may further extend your backup time, even though this isn’t reflected in the current estimate.
