Emergency Power
|
|
Emergency power is an important part of an overall preparedness plan. Good quality rechargeable batteries, battery chargers, and solar power all contribute to keeping your emergency lights and emergency radios working. Emergency battery chargers should be able to recharge batteries using AC power when rolling blackouts are in effect or generator power is used, and they should also be DC capable which allows charging from a solar panel or car battery.

Product Choices for Emergency Power
|
Powerfilm Folding Solar Panels
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.

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.
