Batteries?

If you believe you can continue your life as normal for even one week with battery power only, you are in for a rude awakening.

Yep!

36 - 48 hours if you have lots of battery capacity and they are well maintained.

“If you believe you can continue your life as normal for even one week with battery power only, you are in for a rude awakening.”

If one chooses the correct type batteries and a medium high (like 20 watt) solar panel with charger for A, AA, AAA, D rechargeable batteries, one can live quite well, which I do when a hurricane comes through. I could live well for as long as it took to return to normal. Planning and carrying out that plan is key.

That is not the only prep one would need but planning can also give one a renewable way to have pure water, a way to cook forever, stay cool, stay warm, and stay safe.
