    These batteries aren’t designed or built for whole home backup, they can’t produce power when the grid is down (some have dedicated sockets for you to draw power from like a normal battery but they don’t back feed). All the scenarios you’re thinking of why these are bad are already accounted for.

      Didn’t say that, reread my posts.

      It all back feeds w/o a disconnect. Its called electrons. Those fuckers love to find ground.

        The disconnect is a relay built into the battery and managed by it. Just like solar panels, the inverters for those could also backfeed if they weren’t managed

        You’re missing the point, the point is the batteries are designed specifically to NOT back feed into the grid.

        Instead of telling people to re-read your posts, why don’t you actually go and read up on the very things you’re being critical of without the most basic understanding of how they actually work.
