Here in Seattle, I've had 2 outages that lasted 4 days, and one that lasted 2 weeks. A battery won't last that long. I get a couple outages a year, from 4 hours to a day. Sick of all this, I finally bought a generator. It is hooked up to the natural gas pipe, so I don't need to store fuel (something I really don't care to do) and the supply is infinite. Nearly all the outages are trees falling on the wires. The power company refuses to bury them, even when the road is trenched for other reasons.
