Storm Guard and automatic backup behavior generally worked well in real homes, but not perfectly. One tester saw missed storm preparation, while another found generator start/stop thresholds a little imprecise.

Multi-stack state-of-charge reporting can be misleading because the app may average stacks with very different charge levels, obscuring when one stack is nearly empty.

Charging from a basic 12V vehicle socket is very slow—around 17–18 hours in one estimate—so it is best used only for topping up.
