I’m so well prepared for emergencies that there wasn’t anything for me to do to participate, so I started charging my NiMH rechargeable batteries in all sizes AAA-AA-C-D, although they didn’t really need it.
My lanterns and flashlights, radios, walkie talkies, phone chargers, solar lights, electrical test meters, motion sensor lights, spotlights, clocks, and more all use regular batteries in those sizes.
We’re scheduled to get a ton of ice so a power outage is not out of the realm. I went to double check my generator. It’s been a few months.
Then I discovered that a cheap $8 part broke. Oh well. We do have several heat sources, lots of lights and anything else we’ll need.
