Here at Breckwell we do not offer a battery back up or recommend a particular brand for our pellet stoves. However, there are several companies that manufacture battery back-up systems that will work with the stove. In the event that you do decide to purchase such a system, here are the power requirements for the stove so that you can see exactly what you will need.  In addition, you must have an invertor that produces a full sine wave for the pellet stove to function correctly.

4-RPM Auger Motor – 1.65 AMPS – 182 watts
1-RPM Auger Motor - 0.45 AMPS – 50 watts

We actually generally recommend the gas-powered generator as a back-up power supply for our pellet stoves. The generator has several advantages over the battery back up in our opinion. Most battery back-ups that will actually power the stove for any length of time (minimum of 6 hours or more) are generally very expensive. Often times, even more expensive than a generator. In addition, with a generator you have the option of powering additional appliances, and you will have power as long as you have fuel for the generator.
