    Quote from: K-Dog on Nov 22, 2024, 02:29 PMHow much did it cost a day to keep going?

    I only had to use it twice for outages that lasted slightly over 1 day, and didn't really HAVE to use it because my 100AH Deep Cycle batt ran my fridge and computer and lights by itself no problem.  I just flipped it on for an hour to top off the batt at the end of the day.  Didn't even use 1/2 gal of gas.  I kept a 5 gal container of gas in my outside storage closet to refill it for longer outages.  I estimated I could last 2 weeks keeping the fridge cold and running my computer 3-4 hours a day continuous usage.

    It was pretty loud but I kept it out on the back porch.  No complaints from neighbors, I charged up their cell phones for them.
