How can I extend the duration of my battery backup?

Updated over 3 months ago

To maximize backup duration:

  1. Most important: Temper or turn off usage of power-hungry appliances like A/C units, electric heaters, or large washers/dryers.

  2. Reduce power usage to essentials like a fridge, freezer, and a few lights.

  3. Get portable electric heaters or air conditioner units that consume less power and can move with you through the home.

Bonus for complete peace of mind: Plan for generation sources like solar panels or compatible plug-in portable generators to supplement the battery.
