How a Plug-In Home Battery Finally Works for Renters and Apartments. Go to surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN! For most people right now, home batteries kind of suck. You spend ten to fifteen thousand dollars, wait on permits, and pay an electrician, and that is only if you own a house that can take one. A new plug-in home battery changes the math. It plugs into a standard wall outlet, needs no electrician, and the units link into a mesh home battery network that moves with you. I put three of them in my own house and ran the numbers. So can a battery like this really deliver backup power for renters and apartments? Or is this just a smaller box with the same old limits?
