    Outside of natural disasters, how often is the power out longer than 20 minutes? My last power outage was due to a major car wreck and it wasn’t out much longer than an hour.

      Depends on where you live. California in summer, and most places where you have trees+snow will get you outages. The rise of data centers using power scoped for residential areas is also likely to have impacts.

      I would rather a house battery instead of a stove battery. At least for the house you could benefit from cheap night time tariffs. Power during power cuts is a nice bonus.
