Power Outages and Sags are nothing new to Florida Residents.  During a power outage, your only method of communication (unless you have a [easyazon_link identifier=”B00005MITU” locale=”US” tag=”djhtech-20″]corded landline telephone[/easyazon_link]) is your cellular device using its’ precious battery. Your communication time is now dependent on the life of your cell phone battery.  The only problem is that you only have a few minutes left.. what do you do?

..Feeling helpless yet?  We thought so.

OK.. let’s make life a bit less stressful and explain to you a few options and devices you can implement to soothe your nerves during the next power outage.

  • Solution #1:  Keep my home internet / WiFi ON PLUS Charge my cell phone during power outage
    • Purchase a U.P.S. (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Battery Backup system.  To keep a few network devices on (modem, router/wifi) for internet and your cell phone charging at the same time, we recommend going with the [easyazon_link identifier=”B01FWAZEIU” locale=”US” tag=”djhtech-20″]APC 600VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector with USB Charging Port[/easyazon_link].   It has USB charging capability built-in (no charging adapters required), sufficient amount of battery run-time, and in a smaller than average size.  This is the best choice if you have a small data plan with your current carrier and need internet plus charging your cell phone simultaneously.
  • Solution #2:  Charge my cell phone only during power outage
    • We recommend getting an [easyazon_link identifier=”B01NBQX0O5″ locale=”US” tag=”djhtech-20″]Anker PowerCore II Slim 10000 Ultra Slim Power Bank[/easyazon_link].  This little device can provide up to 3 1/2 FULL charges after you loose your utility power.. and it’s portable!   Bring it with you anywhere you may require a backup battery.
  • Solution #3:  Keep it ALL ON during power outage!
