Adding backup capability - should I ditch existing 10T battery?

When I bought my solar energy system in 2023, I didn’t really care about having backup capability since we rarely have power outages and I was trying to save on the cost of the system.
Now I think I would like to add it in case a major earthquake causes an extended power outages (I’m in LA and Venezuela got me thinking!)
I have 15 400W panels, IQ8 inverters, and a 10T battery. I know I need to add a controller, I am trying to decide if I should swap out the 10T for a 10C battery. The old battery has a 15 year warranty so plenty of life left, but I believe the 10T has more power. Probably the biggest power draw would be AC and not sure the 10T would cut it.
What are your opinions?

App to track spending against budget YTD

Anyone know of an app that can report spending against budget on a cumulative basis YTD, ideally in a line chart? Line Chart - Cumulative Spend Against Budget YTD

Money Patrol does something like this but I found it too buggy to use. I know that Tiller can do this, but would really like an app on my phone that can do it easily, though a web or desktop app would be better than nothing. Ideally would have options to show by category and overall.
