How many batteries do you need to run a house?

The number of batteries needed to power a house depends on the number of appliances the homeowner wishes to power. Appliances like freezers, fridges, AC units, mini splits, washers, dryers, microwaves, electric ovens, water pumps, electric water heaters, power tools and home health equipment all consume higher amounts of energy, which drains batteries faster. The total amount of energy a house consumes within 24 hours can be referred to as the “total watts hours used”. A battery will store a certain number of watt hours.
