Power outages worldwide cause inconveniences to both the consumer and businesses. This could mean damages to household equipment, interruptions of bank transactions, or even physical damages to the person themselves. Although a majority of power outages are under 5 hours, this is still an inconvenient amount of time. Alongside this, is the issue of energy storage. With the advent of climate change, devices that shift and store renewable energy are vital to renewable energy adoption. To address these issues, we propose the design of a battery pack system with an inverting output for use in storing energy and providing grid-equivalent energy for residential applications. The components of this battery pack system include the battery housing for safe storage, a battery management system for monitoring system conditions, and an output stage inverter. The battery housing will integrate 21700 battery cells with 14 cells in series and 24 in parallel, with the output connected to the input of the battery management system for monitoring and the H-bridge output inverter.
