Hi all, like everyone else here, I'm trying to find the best (affordable & efficient) ways to make up for these increased electricity outages.
We can't afford a full solar install at this stage (that's the medium term plan).
Nor are we interested in a diesel generator option (running costs & noise).
While we have powered our wifi router with a mini ups, so we can keep working from home, our laptop batteries are not making it through these longer and more frequent outages.
So we're looking into sizable Lithium ion battery power packs, like this: LITHIUM555 PORTABLE POWER STATION BY FLEXOPOWER
A friend has the above product for the last 3 years and is very satisfied (reports it can run 100-200 watts for 5-6hours).
Any recommendations for or against this type of solution at the 10k (or less) price point?
Any recommendations on best-bang-for-buck suppliers for such a product?
Cheers, appreciated.
