Because the battery charges during the cheapest hours of the day, Bliq prevents you from getting a bad price for your electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-losmyg3v-1-89345eb50af8a7baf0dcdbbfc39f9167'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5'>Will I still have power in the event of a power outage with a battery?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Only if you also install your own backup grid so that the battery can supply power via your own grid.
