battery-storage-tile molecule experimental A tile showing a home battery's state of charge with a fill visual, its status, capacity, power flow, and backup runtime.

short_description: A tile showing a home battery's state of charge with a fill visual, its status, capacity, power flow, and backup runtime.
long_visual_description: >
A surface card pairing a vertical battery glyph with a stat column. The battery has a
small cap on top and a fill that rises from the bottom to the current state of charge,
tinted by status: info while charging, warning while discharging, primary when idle, and
success when full. Beside it a large tabular percentage sits over a status pill with a
matching colour dot, followed by a small definition list of capacity, power flow, and
estimated backup runtime.
use_cases:
- Show a home battery's charge and status on an energy dashboard.
- Summarise a solar plus storage system's reserve in a mobile app.
- Display backup runtime remaining during a grid outage.
- Report a fleet of stationary batteries on an operations screen.
- Give an at a glance storage tile in a smart home hub.
- Track an EV home battery buffer alongside charging status.
recommended_for:
- A single battery or storage unit summarised in one tile.
- Dashboards that pair the charge visual with a few key figures.
- Cases where the charge percent is already computed by the caller.
avoid_for:
- Charge history over time (use a line chart shell).
- Detailed cell level diagnostics (use a dedicated table).
- Non storage metrics like instantaneous grid draw (use a live counter).

example_usage: >
Set charge_pct to the current state of charge and status to what the battery is doing;
the fill height and colour follow. Add capacity_kwh, power_kw and backup_hours as
preformatted display strings for the stat rows.
props:
charge_pct: Current state of charge, 0-100; precomputed and used for the fill height.
status: What the battery is doing now, setting the fill colour and status label.
capacity_kwh: Total usable capacity as a display string.
power_kw: Current charge or discharge rate as a display string.
backup_hours: Estimated backup runtime at the current charge as a display string.
example_prompts:
- Add a home battery tile at 76 percent that is charging.
- Show a storage tile discharging with backup hours remaining.
- Put a full battery tile with capacity and power on the dashboard.

editorial_guidance: >
Let the charge percentage lead and keep the supporting figures quiet. Use status
literally so the fill colour matches what the battery is doing, and word backup as a
plain runtime such as hours remaining.
