In the second part of his video, Matt from Imp Electrical puts the battery backup system to the ultimate test – turning off the mains power (part 1) to see how well it performs. The result? A seamless transition that proves just how reliable this setup really is.
No Flicker, No Downtime – Just Continuous Power
As soon as Matt switches off the mains, the batteries take over instantly, keeping everything powered without a single flicker. Thanks to the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), there’s no delay, no devices restarting, and even the WiFi stays up, so if you were in a video call, you wouldn’t even notice the switchover.
Where Does the Power Come From?
One of the key benefits of this system is its flexibility in energy sourcing. The batteries can be:
✅ Charged using solar panels – Store free, renewable energy during the day and use it when needed.
✅ Charged during off-peak hours – Buy electricity when it’s cheapest and store it for later, reducing energy bills.
What Happens When the Power Comes Back On?
Just as impressively, when mains power is restored, the transition back is just as smooth. There’s no sudden surge, no interruptions, and no need to reset anything. The system automatically shifts back to grid power while ensuring the batteries remain charged and ready for the next outage.
This test proves that backup power isn’t just for emergencies, it’s a smarter, cost-effective way to manage energy every day. Whether you want protection against power cuts or just a way to cut electricity costs, Imp Electrical’s system delivers.
