We are great fans of battery backup solutions - and we've tried plenty in our time, ranging from small consumer UPS units to Nikki's F150 Lightning Vehicle-to-Home system.
But today, we're trying something a little different: a rack-mountable 5.12 kWh LiFePo4 battery from Vatrer.
Here's our unboxing, a run-down of the claimed specs, a peek inside, and what we plan to do with it!
Disclaimer: VatrerPower set us this review unit free of charge to test. Transport Evolved retained all editorial control, and VatrerPower sees our review the same time as our audience.
