Will your setup carry the fridge, the sump pump and the CPAP through night three? Most people find out at 2 a.m., by flashlight. This manual is the calm-Saturday version.Survive Any Blackout is one book, in the order the trouble arrives: your number (the load list nobody writes down, the numbers that lie, the special loads, the 3-day math), buying right (the two-numbers trick on the front of the box, the fine print that costs you, the ten checks before you pay, the first 48 hours), the plans ($0, $200, $500, $1,500, $3,000 and the hybrid, plus condo/HOA, limited mobility and renters), keeping it alive (the three charging regimes, chemistry, heat and cold, the monthly 15-minute test), when it acts up (four troubleshooting trees you run with a $15 meter), warranty and end of life (the paper trail and the claim script), and the night itself (the first 60 minutes, day two and day three).WHAT YOU GET- The Manual — 259 pages, 36 chapters, 26 worksheets that each end in a verdict, five complete plans- The Toolkit — all 26 worksheets again, one to a page, so they open on your phone in a tap- Power's Out?
