One of the standout features of the Franklin Whole Home Battery is its impressive usable battery capacity. Utilizing advanced lithium iron phosphate cells, Franklin has effectively boosted the usable storage from 13.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) to 15 kWh. This improvement means that even an average-sized U.S. home could rely solely on the Franklin battery for a whole-home backup, all while retaining an additional kilowatt-hour of energy reserve for essential functions, known as black start capability.
For those with larger homes—particularly those with 400 or 600 amp service—using multiple Franklin batteries would be more practical. However, the option to manage a whole-home backup with a single unit is a major advantage for budget-conscious consumers.
