A battery's rated capacity is not all usable: depth-of-discharge limits protect its life, and round-trip efficiency means some energy is lost charging and discharging. What actually reaches your home is capacity × depth-of-discharge × round-trip efficiency. Together with cycle life, these set backup duration and the cost per stored kilowatt-hour.

Governing equation

E_{del} = C \cdot DoD \cdot η_{r t} = 13.5 \times 0.90 \times 0.90 = 10.9 kWh

Reading this result: Usable energy is capacity × depth-of-discharge × round-trip efficiency, so only 10.9 of 13.5 kWh (81%) reaches your home each cycle — the discharge limit removes more here than efficiency does.
