I also have 4 car batteries, 2 inverters(400W + 2000W) and related paraphernalia in my 500sq. ft. apartment - bathroom is my "charging" room cuz there's an exhaust fan in there

Lamps all have 13W (60W equivalent) bulbs, extension cords are all 12 or 14 gauge (think line drop) etc., so when the power goes out, I still got light and my 'puters.

What else could I want for during a power outage?
