Anker unveils Solix S5000 backup battery, claiming idle draw as low as 8.8W

Gizmodo reports Anker says its Solix S5000 home backup battery draws as little as 8.8W while idle and can last up to 21 days on standby. It can expand to 30kWh, though its 4,500W sustained output is below the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus’s 7,200W. Gizmodo says the S5000 is slated for October 27 availability at an introductory $2,500, compared with its $3,600 retail price.
