[Electronics-talk] Storable energy for prolonged periods of power outage

[Star Gazer]

				Why not get a gennorator? You can get a little one or a whole house one or anything in between. 
We had a whole house gennorator in our last house. It was neat, though we didn't use it as much as we thought, and they don't resell for what you paid for them. They don't even really increase the valueof your house. 
What exactly are you wanting to keep powered up? How often do you loose power, and do you have a critical failure v. an inconvience if it's out for a long time? 
We got a gennorator because we had a sump pump and the house was situated on the lot that somebody could say the word "rain" and the sump pump would go off. We thought about getting a marine backup battery but those only hold a charge for 12 hours. I didn't want a flooded basement (it was a finished basement) so we priced out a whole house gennorator and got one. When the power was out, I was real glad we had it. If we still lived in that house, I'd be real glad we had it. We took the gennorator with us when we moved to a house that didn't have as many power failures as the previous house, nor did it not have a sump pump. It was then that I decided it wasn't as critical as it had once been. 
When we moved a third time, we left the gennorator at that house. 
My point in all this is that the solution you get may be very specific to your house and may not transfer as well as you'd think.

Subject: [Electronics-talk] Storable energy for prolonged periods of power outage

I was hoping someone on the list might be able to help me with my energy storage issues for the upcoming potential El Niño event.

Has anyone ever heard of using 9D batteries taped together and using a DC car adapter to charge your cell phone? Will that work? Will it fit in my equipment? Does anybody have any other ideas on how I can keep my electronics going if we have a prolonged power outage?

I'll help is welcome in truly appreciate it.
