sometimes taman no electric at nite, and tnb repair quite slow. very hot in room unable sleep, play fone only.
so i want to prepare when next round happen again. which option is practical yall think

If you own the landed house, install solar with battery.
else try to get that ecoflow battery and inverter thing.

some powertool punya battery also can use to power a fan that is made for the same battery format.

battery packs?.. bigger better... lasts longer but they are heavy... r you sure you want to carry heavy packs for camping?..( glamping , different story)... those who do regular camping understands carrying weight.. even water is carefully taken into account

battery pack with the standard 3 pin plug holes on it, most consumer models on the market can plug in solar panels

I have ecoflow, but software and firmware kind of a gamble, I regret updating the firmware because now the stupid thing turns off the AC port when it finishes charging instead of letting the power passthrough to the appliance, so look for review of other brands

cool @ecoflow & powertools battery. let me survey2 see

actually my plan for indoor use only. maybe focus on running hour efficiency

My houses are equipped with ups powering my network, stand lights and fans in case of blackouts. Using APC brand.

Just sleep in EV la

Ugreen PowerRoam 1200W

I tarik cable from my ev. Use fan powered from it

actually, the community need to be raijin sedikit...the moment the power goes off, call your neighbors and check with them is it a Taman wide power outage. if yes, quickly call the TNB hotline, report, usually less than 2 hours, the lineman, is out there on skylift, doing the repair already.


edit: doing this(reporting to TNB promptly) , is way better than, buying 1k-5k -15k worth of additional "powerstation" to backup that 2 hours per year.

Just drive Tesla and sleep inside car using camp mode

if it's just for yourself, I think battery fan like acson or sharkninja (sale price) is fine. bonus is can use normally when there's electricity.

bought a ecoflow river 3 on 5.5 sale, still waiting for it to arrive. but that's because I want to keep my cctv / smart home / gate working when there's outage.

using ecoflow.

Once my condo power outage, im the only house with lights (solar lamp bout RM30+) with TV (85') modem and tvbox running. People knock on my door asking why i have electricity. after running whole night my battery was still at 70%

Go besi buruk find UPS, preferably larger type and branded, cause those typically don't comes with built in timer. Then find AGM car battery from the besi buruk also, like DIN50/60/70/80/100. Then find some scrap housing wire and battery clamp also cause u gonna need to extend the wire from the UPS to the external car battery. My setup with DIN80 Mercedes AGM can run my PC for almost 10 hour.

buy powerstation
ayam sudah use 3 years, still ok
can use regular fan
battery about 550kwh
so if fan use 50watt meaning can run 11 hour

sleep at car la

OWAI

I have quite a few Makita type 21V batteries that I use for tools that can also power up my 300W inverter, fan and lights that fit the Makita battery footprint.

By far the cheapest solution, and the batteries are replaceable cheaply and still use them with the tools they come with. I have used them for camping and I have enough of them and if used with the inverter (takes 4 batteries) for 3 days use and powering up my small rice cooker (200W) or other small appliances.

If you more atas, then can buy a power station/inverter with Solar input.

Even more atas, install roof top solar, and add battery storage.



This is my inverter that I use with my Makita batteries. You can plug a normal AC stand fan.

But if you use DC 21V fan with the batteries direct without the inverter, then there is less conversion loss to AC.
A single 6ah/hr tool battery can power a fan 6-8 hours depending on fan size and speed.

if you connect to standing or desk fan, UPS last you very short time only.

I have 500va ups, last time blackout, I connect to desk lamp and table fan, like 30-40 minute low battery already. Brand new maybe will last longer.
