Agreed, We had a power failure today because of the 40+mph winds and
snow for over 7 hours here at the house. I had only one good times
radio that operated on batteries, but wouldn't ya know it. The ones in
the radio were dead. I have a few old ELT batteries hanging around
the garage so I hooked 2 wires to it, opened the back of the radio,
attached the leads and we listened to the radio for the entire 7 hours
without it going dead. There are a lot of uses for those batteries.
