If you can put a backup battery into an outlet and have it work well like an appliance there is a lot of utility there. Pumps and fans for gas hvac systems as well as sump pumps are more critical and less power hungry than a fridge. I would much rather have a web page on wifi to monitor it than another blu tooth app, but whatever.

That being said 1.6 kw/h for $1000 is WAY overpriced. Lithium Iron Phosphate battery prices are dropping like a stone. This should be a third of the price and eventually that's exactly what someone will sell it for.
