Are you ready for a Power Outage?

I have the same gen as Mark. It's still in the box but at least it's in the garage. I can't remember the last time we lost power for more than a few minutes, but it was cheap and you never know.

On special, my powerpack300 at CT was around $70+tax.

I currently have two battery back ups on hand in case of anything happening, but I found out they only lasted me a maximum of an hour and a half this past summer. Granted I was running my chiller for a bit after my pre-made ice & cooler packs ran out, so I'm sure it plays a role. It took them a day and a half to get the power back on here that particular evening.

Apartment living isn't all that condusive to tank back up options. I'm sure my next house will have a generator to combat this potential situation.

I bought this generator in the summer

Has a true sine wave inverter on it so I can run absolutely anything from powerheads to heaters to halides.
