MsMerope@ai6yr good grief... in this day and age people should be ditching generators anyway and going to things like Jackerys that you can easily charge via solar panel [or plug it into the wall when you do have power]
@MsMerope As much as you can, although that's tough to do for fridges and freezers. Great for charging your phone/computer and even running a small TV, though!
@ai6yr they have some big ones now that will run a frig for at least a few hours.
We experiment with our smaller ones and the solar panels and are sometimes able to balance out draw and charge to keep things running longer.
don't know if I'd trust a tesla power wall but I'd guess [ok, hope] that more things like that are coming along.
@MsMerope LOL on the not trusting a Tesla Powerwall. I considered it seriously before the whole Twitter fiasco and the rash of Lithium battery fires, and now I don't trust them at all...
