rechargeable battery back

Garcia · 05-31-2026, 08:29 AM

I am thinking of getting a rechargeable battery pack big enough to run the pump and refrigerator in the event of a power outage. They are relatively rare on Bear.

I'll put a soft start adapter on the pump to minimize the load needed at start up. The stove is propane.

Because this will (hopefully) be used infrequently, I am looking for ease of annual maintenance, hence staying away from a generator that needs oil changes and fuel drained annually. I'm also not a fan of the constant noise of a typical generator.

I don't need to power the whole house.

Anyone go this route and/or have suggestions?
