Mercedes-Benz has uncovered its own energy cell, like the Powerwall of Tesla. It uses giant batteries to save surplus power from the home solar panels and keep them off the traditional energy grid. The German company is getting a more modular strategy than its American competitor, said reports. Each pack has 2.5kWh of electricity, though users can use up to eight of the combined 20kWh or double as much as the Powerwall. This battery pack is for home use and Powerpack batteries for commercial use

Slash Gear reported that the Mercedes' pack is the consumers' best hope of getting Earth-friendly energy saver in the future. Tesla Powerwall is already sold until mid-2016 and there's not much choice but to order for Mercedes' battery and stand by for shipping in September.

Now, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, announced his firm would increase the power output of the Powerwall batteries but guarantees the same cost.

Engadget reported that Tesla's Powerwall batteries are from a wo-kilowatt (KW) steady power output and 3.3kW to a 5kW steady output and 7kW peak output. The cost of the batteries will be the same at $3000 for the 7kW/hour (KWh) everyday cycle version and $3,500 for the 10kWh support UPS version. The total installation price is around $4,000.

Computer World, on the other hand, said that users can also chain up to nine Powerwall battery units on a wall to give up to 90kWh of power. The standard U.S. home use is about 20 kWh to 25 kWh of power daily, based on the GTM Research.Tesla Energy's new industry-grade battery, the Powerpack, is available in 100kWh modules for $25,000 each. According to Musk, the Powerpack can infinitely scale even in small cities and good for powering large factories.

In the report of Engadget, the Deutsche Accumotive is the subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz that produced the batteries, which is one of the first commercial-scale lithium-ion units. Mercedes recently tested the  "on the grid" type of lithium-ion units. Deutsche Accumotive usually develops software and lithium-ion batteries that give them control in the electric and hybrid vehicles industry.

Daimler said it intends to have partnerships with other sales and distribution channels to market its industrial and home batteries at the world market.
