    Off-grid alternative energy homes typically rely on battery banks to store surplus power for use when the various generation devices aren't working at their strongest (i.e. solar panels in cloudy weather or at night, windmills when it isn't windy, micro-hydro when the water flow has dried up, etc). The battery most often used in these installations is called a deep-cycle battery, and is substantially different than the battery you would expect to find in an automobile.

    Dear Greenlite:

    Thank you for trying to burn down my house with your energy efficient LED nightlight, model T18, with integrated light sensor. It makes all the difference knowing that prior to this product trying to catch fire it was using a meager 0.3W.

    I am looking forward to seeing how the other units will fail.
