Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it ………

Our 4 batteries were tested and found "Finished", so we finally had to do it. Yes, I had to break down and buy new batteries for our house. The four batteries we had only gave us 3- 4 hours of energy out of them on a full charge and that was only if we would turn off everything, especially the fridge, and use as few lights as possible. Now with 8 batteries, we get almost 24 hours and that is with leaving the fridge on. The only thing that hurt about these batteries was paying for them and then lugging them up into the attic. Those things are brutes but they work great. How do I know? Glad you asked, our electricity went out on Saturday afternoon at 2pm and today, Sunday, the batteries ran out of juice at 2pm. So being the math and time scholar that I am, that makes 24 hours and we still don’t have any electricity and I’m writing this on Sunday at 5:51 pm on my computer battery power. By the time we did get electricity again it was Monday at 11:30 am. Just under 48 hours; technology is so cool!
