Base Power has announced the launch of its largest home battery, Base Core, as it raises $1 billion to mass-produce batteries for homes in the United States. This timing is ideal, given the current strain on the U.S. power system, with data centers, electric vehicles, and other factors driving demand. The Base Core battery, with a capacity of 39.2 kWh, can be linked together for larger storage and can sustain a home's power needs for several days.
It is designed not just as a backup, but as a grid-stabilizing component from day one. Key features include quick installation, automatic outage detection, and resilience against extreme weather. Manufactured in Austin, Texas, thousands of units will be produced monthly. The company has been in development for over a year, with deployments expanding beyond Texas to Illinois.
The $1 billion round, led by Ribbit, Addition, Valor Equity Partners, and JPMorgan Chase's Strategic Investment Group, will fuel further production, hiring, and expansion across various cities.
