- mvc 3y agoIn a power outage scenario, you're gonna be saving your mobile battery for more necessary requirements. The geeks can wait a few days for their new kernel version.

- sponaugle 3y agoIn terms of complete house power - Batteries are fantastic for a small size use case, but economically difficult in large size. I have 42kwh of battery storage (Enphase), plus 20kw of Solar generation, but that combined is not enough to cover a complete power outage longer than 24-36 hours in stormy weather. The cost of that system is well more than 10 times the cost to get a generator that can do the entire house (22kw Generac for example).

- reedf1 3y agoCell towers need power too.
- aitchnyu 3y agoIn India, a mobile operator was/is second highest diesel buyer.
- hn92726819 3y agoHow would he procure a 4G/5G laptop, batteries, a generator, and gasoline if he doesn't have any, can't drive, and has no internet?
