   That is similar to my possible 4-6 hour battery.  Not ready to do it in   
   next year.  Might do it in 2 years.   
      
   -----------------------------   
      
   I use laptops whose batteries protect them from power outages, so I can   
   afford a few minutes to reconfigure to battery power. If you need continuous   
   power for a desktop a power station may or may not provide it with a UPS   
   function. Apparently the Jackery 1000 doesn't, the 2000 does. One indication   
   is the AC power cord plugging in directly instead of running a small   
   external AC>DC power brick.

   Internet weather radar gives a pretty good view of approaching storms and   
   fronts. When I hear approaching thunder I pull the UPS wall plug and   
   continue working on my spreadsheets or program on isolated battery power   
   until the storm has passed.
