Reply to comment by Real-Pierre-Delecto2 in GMP powerwall customers…feedback? by slightlyrottensalmon

I will take your disclaimer to heart as I have no knowledge on the matter. I was thinking of trying to figure out how to do the same with the standard deep cell marine batteries as I figure my electrician could figure out how to transfer some of the generator power over to the batteries or simply use a battery tender to do the same. Then Tesla came out with these batteries and I wondered if it was an option.

Ya I hoped for that as well. The thing is very sensitive to power fluctuations which actually makes it work really good especially in my area. Where I live the mains have auto-breakers so if a tree or something touches the line they will trip but then re-engage a few seconds later to see if the fault has cleared. They do this up to about 5 times and it creates a huge surge in the house on-off on-off etc it's horrible for sensitive electronics. Use to have to run across the room and shut off the tube amps and other radio gear I have on. That never happens now as the Powerwall switches over so fast and wont switch back until it has about 5 mins of constant mains power.
