BioLite announced an affordable and user-friendly power backup solution for major home appliances. Backup by Biolite has already met their $100,000 goal, with backers valuing the idea of easy protection from blackouts.Backup by BioLite is the fifth Kickstarter campaign launched by innovative energy company BioLite. Focusing on sustainable energy practices, BioLite has launched products ranging from portable solar-powered lighting setups to power banks charged with thermal energy from a camp stove. Backup by BioLite builds on the company's experience and brings a massive energy storage solution to outdoor enthusiasts and homeowners alike.

Key features of Backup by Biolite include:

• Up to 60 Hours of continuous power
• 30-minute installations without the need for electricians or contractors
• Instant power backup features that don't require user initiation
• A slim and portable design
• App integration
• Advance safety features

Backup by Biolite is offered in two configurations: Backup Core and Backup Complete.

Backup Core is the base configuration of Backup by BioLite and houses the system's brains. The system offers 1.5 KWh of storage and has two AC ports supporting a fridge, medical equipment, or other major appliance needing continuous power. BioLite claims, "Anything your wall outlet can do, Backup can do."

Backup Complete adds a panel that must be connected to the Backup Core. The added panel expands the power storage by 1.5 KWh, bringing the entire system to 3 KWh of storage. However, users do not have to stop there; they can add up to seven additional panels to bring the total storage capacity to 10.5 kWh.In any case, installation of Backup by BioLite is as easy as plugging it into a wall outlet. Users can simply set Backup on top of the appliance needing backup power, like the refrigerator, or use the included mounting bracket to put Backup on a wall. Once installed, users can plug the appliance into Backup and then plug Backup into the wall. Backup will then engage if the grid loses power with system monitoring provided by the BioLite's complementing app.

True to BioLite's mission, users can extend the runtime of their system by pairing it with solar panels. Biolite is offering a 400 W solar panel as well as a 30' extension cable for users who want to take advantage of this expanded functionality.
