6.5 hours hooked up to household 110 VAC, the handy dandy GE Energy Cost calculator says it uses the equivalent of a 600 watt light fixture burning for 6.5 hours

Something doesn't sound right. 110 VAC and 600 watts would mean that the batteries are pulling just 5.45 amps charging up. That sounds a little low to say the least.

Well, I’m just using their numbers. It’s a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
