Base Station (Gen 3) Overview and Installation Guide
Only use NiMH Rechargeable Batteries - never insert regular, alkaline batteries into your Base Station! Watch this video from our team of experts for a hands-on installation experience
When the grid is working and chances of outages are low, Base sends some energy from the battery back to the power grid. This process is called grid-balancing. Base batteries deploy energy to the grid faster than any other service, which is how Base is able to recoup the cost of the battery equipment and keep prices low for homeowners.
Base batteries run in two directions, which is how Base is able to keep costs low for homeowners. The batteries charge during off-peak hours, like midday and late at night, when energy is more available and demand is low.
The Base battery system is built for performance and reliability. It combines a high-capacity lithium iron battery with intelligent software to optimize energy use. The Base battery system has three main components: the battery pack, inverter, and hub. The long white unit is the battery pack. We mount the battery pack on the ground.
Yes, but with limitations. Consider indoor antennas, magnetic balcony mounts, or window feedthrough antennas. Always check lease agreements and be respectful of neighbors regarding interference. Setting up a base station CB system opens a world of communication possibilities far beyond what mobile installations offer.
