Now that we're in the chilly season it's a great time for dealers in wood pellet stoves and other alternative fuel devices to consider emergency power battery backups. Our automatic battery backup systems can silently and efficiently maintain the operation of wood pellet stoves or heating appliances when power fails. They work in the following way: When utility power fails, the system instantly draws energy from a battery to enable continued heating appliance operation. When utility power returns, the backup system automatically switches the appliance back to AC wall outlet power. At the same time, the battery charger in the backup system resumes charging the battery to return it to full capacity in preparation for the next power failure. This sequence is fully automatic and designed to occur unattended, and is effective whether the user is at home or not, providing peace of mind.

Reliable and Easy-To-Use Power Backup Solutions

Our battery backup systems are easy to set up. They plug into standard wall outlets without additional of special wiring. The user is required to supply only a deep cycle battery. No maintenance is required, and there is no fuel and no moving parts to worry about. All models come with a detailed instruction manual and are backed by a one-year factory warranty.

Fuel Stove Power Automatic Backup Solutions for Rural Areas

If you live in a rural area that may be vulnerable to extended outages, our battery backups can be made to operate up to 24 hours with the use of an expanded battery bank. (In comparison, a single 100 amp-hour battery affords only eight hours of operation in the case of a wood pellet stove, whereas gas heaters and Toyo kerosene heaters will last up to 19 hours on a single battery.) The backup time for a given appliance operating from a given sized battery bank can be determined by applying the formula in the application note: Calculating Battery Back Up Time.

Model Offering

Our alternative fuel battery backup models may be used for a wide variety of alternative fuel appliances including wood pellet stoves, corn stoves, kerosene heaters, gas heaters, coal stoves and small water circulation pumps. Our four models each have a different level of maximum output, the highest having a maximum output of 1000 watts. Two models produce modified sine wave power when operating in the standby mode, making them a cost-effective solution for backing up older stove models. Most newer microprocessor-controlled pellet stoves require sine wave power which must be supplied in standby mode. The other two models provide true sine wave power at all times, making them suitable for microprocessor-controlled appliances.

Prior to purchasing a battery backup the user should consult the heating appliance owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to determine the maximum power consumption. Likewise, the user should determine whether the pellet stove is microprocessor-controlled. This should be the approach whether the heating appliance is a wood pellet stove, a corn pellet stove, a kerosene heater or a coal stoker.
