Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   BioLite is taking a fresh and smart approach to providing emergency power in the home with a system called Backup by BioLite…now up on Kickstarter.    It is a self installed energy system that can go, for instance, alongside or on top of a refrigerator…to keep it and other kitchen equipment running for up to 60 hours during a power outage.   VP of Product Management Ryan Gist     ..

“Importantly it does not require any permitting or professional contracting or electrician.  We like to say you can go from box to backup in 30 minutes or less.  It’s a lithium iron phosphate energy storage system that’s got multiple layers of safety built in.”

And between the Kickstarter discounts and government incentives…can be a very affordable solution.   Find more info at BioLiteEnergy.com.
