Batteries
Pick the battery that fits your evening, not the biggest one in the shop.
Named units are real models. Four size guides show a typical price, dated. Where a unit has no price yet, ask us.

Where these prices come from
Rows without a brand name are Philippine retail price bands for that whole class, taken from a market snapshot and re-checked before every release — not one shop's listing. Rows with a brand name are real units Brownout can source; where no Philippine retail price exists yet, the row says so and sends you to ask rather than showing a made-up number. Petrol generators appear for comparison only — we do not recommend or list them.
Small · a battery box you plug in, 512 Wh – 1 kWh
₱28,000–65,000. Plug-in, no installation. Runs LED lights, the router, a fan and a laptop for an evening; a mini-fridge for a few hours. Recharges from the wall in a few hours, or from a portable solar panel sold separately.
Medium · a battery box you plug in, 1–2 kWh and up
₱45,000–90,000+. Still plug-in. A full-size fridge for a day, everything the small one does for longer, power tools. Most units in this class take 200–400 W of portable solar.
Large · a battery on the wall, 5 kWh, with a hybrid inverter
₱160,000–240,000 before labour (5.12 kWh LFP module ₱84k–126k + 5 kW hybrid inverter ₱76k–114k). Switches over in seconds when the grid drops; lights, fans, Wi-Fi and fridge for a whole evening. Needs a licensed electrician. Solar-ready.
Largest · a battery on the wall, 10–15 kWh
₱135,000–300,000 for the battery alone (10.24 kWh ₱135k–203k; 15 kWh class ₱200k–300k, extrapolated). Adds a small aircon for a few hours, or the essentials all night. Solar-ready.
The sizing calculator
Indicative estimate, not a quote. Tick what you want to keep on, set hours per day, and the safety-margin math is editable — every assumption is visible.

Add solar later
Every unit on this page either has a built-in solar input or pairs with a hybrid inverter, so you don't have to buy panels on day one — the battery keeps the lights on tonight, and solar can bring the running cost down whenever you're ready. See the solar savings calculator.
