    Power outage

    Post by nikecivic on Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:21 pm

    SCE plans to cut power in my neighborhood for 6 hours. Hopefully everything works out and my battery backup for the MP40s keep things alive.

    Damn,

    How did it go? did everything pull through? You know Mike, you could have called to borrow my generator.

    Everything worked out! I don't know how long was the outage but I did get a message from Reeftronics as expected. Lets say it was a test to see if there was an unplanned blackout event that my system could handle it.

    There have been a few time where I'm glad to have the Ecotech Battery backup for my MP40s.

    Jimmy, thanks I'll remember next time I need a generator for an extended blackout.
