FranklinWH batteries to Lightning?

[sdingeldein]

The solar installer I'm talking to about using the Lightning without the SunRun system has suggested that FranklinWH batteries might work. Their web site says the batteries have a generator input that is meant to use with man sources including EVs. On the front page it says "The aPower is a cutting-edge home battery within FranklinWH energy ecosystem, built to store energy from solar, grid, generator, and EVs. It stands as a reliable and powerful source for whole home backup." Anyone have experience with these batteries and a Lightning for home backup?

First I’ve heard of them, but if their products are anything like their website design, I wouldn’t touch them. All hat, no cattle.

It feels like the power's gonna run out soon

I added two FranklinWH batteries recently. The panel upgrade includes an automatic transfer switch that allows input from a standby generator and apparently a vehicle. I sold my Lightning so I can't tell you whether it works.

Thanks. My solar guy tells me the batteries coming out in Jan/Feb will have "smart switches" so I can change what is getting powered from my phone. Also noted that Time named FranklinWH the #103 green product company out of their top 250, FWIW.
