Emergency Power

Battery Chargers

Emergency Battery Chargers restore rechargeable batteries for use during a disaster. Some battery charges only operate on AC power. These charges are fast and condition rechargeable batteries, but may only be available during rolling black outs when your neighborhood receives power. DC powered battery chargers can be used to charge batteries using a car battery or solar panel, but usually take longer to charge the batteries. Both should be part of a emergency power plan.

Solar Power

Emergency Solar power provides DC electricity to charge emergency batteries, cell phones, HAM radio, and other emergency communications and lighting devices. When municipal electricity goes out long term, gas and diesel generators are the only source of power, but this emergency equipment is expensive and requires fuel which can be difficult to obtain after a disaster. Solar film, solar panels, and solar rolls, can provide the DC power necessary to recharge batteries.
