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

[Pamela Dominguez]

I don't find that to be the case.  I know some people who only have 
cellphones, but not the majority of people I know.  Pam.

Sad thing about land line issues is that even if you have one, most of the 
folks that you would want to call only have cell phones and in a huge 
disaster they couldn't be contacted after four hours in theory.

Taping a bunch of 9 volt batteries together?  That's a new one on me.  The 
only reliable way I know of to use electronic devices during a prolonged 
power outage is with an emergency generator or perhaps a UPS.  Of course, 
you could buy one of those hand-cranked radios to receive the latest news 
and emergency alerts during the outage.  Actually, bunching 9 volt batteries 
together sounds like a bad idea because it could damage the device you are 
trying to power if the voltage you are supplying it is too high.

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.
