{These batteries can be charged|They can be charged|These batteries can be recharged} {with any type of electricity|using any kind of power source|by any form of electricity} to {provide|supply} {a backup|an alternative|an emergency} power source in {case|the event} {of a power outage|an outage|there is a power failure}.
As {a single energy storage device|an energy storage device in one unit|an energy storage device that is a single unit}{, you can| You can| it is possible to} {connect|join|attach} {up to|as many as|at least} {10|10,|10-} Powerwall units. {This makes them suitable|They are suitable|This makes them ideal} for {small and medium-sized businesses|medium and small-sized companies|medium-sized and small-sized businesses} {as well|too|and also for small-sized businesses}.
{A|The|An} Tesla Powerwall 2 and Powerwall+ are available {for purchase at the moment|to purchase right now|for purchase in the present}. {Although|While|Even though} {the|Powerwall 1 was discontinued in 2016,|it was announced that the} Powerwall 1 was discontinued in 2016{, the newer| the more recent| by the Powerwall 2, the latest} models are {far better|much better|significantly better}.
{A single|One|The single} Tesla Powerwall 2{ and|, and| or} Tesla Powerwall+ {can|is able to|could} store 13.5 Kilowatt-hours {of electricity|of power|worth of energy}{, while the| The| and the} Tesla Powerwall 1 {had|was|contained} only 6.4 {kWh|Kilowatts}.
They also {produce a greater|have a higher|provide a larger} {continuous power output|constant power consumption|continuously powered output} (5.6kW {vs|instead of|as opposed to}. 3.3kW){, so| which means| and, as such,} they {can supply electricity to|are able to supply power to|can power} {more|many} devices {at the same time|simultaneously}.
{Both the|The} Tesla Powerwall 2 and Tesla Powerwall+ {share|have|both share} the same {storage capacity|capacity of storage|capacity for storage}.
