I don't know what Australian electricity needs are, but we averaged 500 W over the last year in our 2-person household. This battery would be good for 10000 similar households for a day or 200000 households "for an hour and 20 minutes...ish".

I used UK per capita electrical energy per annum, translated to an average power usage = 0.8KW. 100/0.8 = 120 ish peoples' power use. So yep - off by a mere *1000!

Is that due to airco or electric heating? We have an average of 130W.
