Generator or Battery Power Station?

A fuel generator and a battery power station solve the same problem in different ways. Generators run for as long as you have fuel, deliver high output and suit heavy loads, farms and worksites, but they need to run outdoors and make some noise. Battery power stations are silent, safe to use indoors and can be recharged from solar, which makes them ideal for sensitive electronics, indoor essentials and quiet backup, though their capacity is limited by the battery. Many homesteaders keep both: a power station for quiet everyday backup and a generator for longer outages and bigger loads.

What to Consider When Choosing Backup Power

A few questions will point you to the right setup faster than any spec sheet.

  • ✓How much power you needAdd up the running watts of what you want to run at once, and allow headroom for the surge when motors, fridges and pumps start.
  • ✓Fuel or batteryPetrol and diesel run for as long as you have fuel, while battery power stations are silent, indoor safe and solar rechargeable.
  • ✓Run time and refuellingThink about how long you need to run without a break, and how easy it is to top up fuel or recharge.
  • ✓Automatic or manual startHome standby and some larger units switch on automatically during an outage, while portable units are started by hand.

Can I Run My Whole House on Backup Power?

You can, with the right setup. Many people back up just the essential circuits, such as the fridge, lighting and a few power points, which a mid sized generator or power station can handle. To run more of the home, you step up to a larger AVR or diesel generator, or a home standby unit sized to the property. Connecting to the house wiring safely needs a proper changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician, and a home standby generator with an automatic transfer switch can do this hands free. Contact us and we can help you match a solution to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much power do I need?

Add up the running watts of everything you want to power at the same time, then allow headroom for the surge that motors, fridges and pumps draw when they start. If you are not sure, contact us on 1300 970 390 with a list of what you want to run and we will help you size it.

What is the difference between an inverter and a conventional generator?

An inverter generator produces clean, quiet power that is safe for sensitive electronics, while a conventional or AVR generator delivers higher output for tools, pumps and heavier loads. Which one suits you depends on what you need to run.

Can I connect a generator to my house?

Yes, with a proper changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Some home standby units include an automatic transfer switch for hands free backup. Never plug a generator straight into a wall socket. Contact us to check what a specific model needs.
