Never go to the hardware store with the munchies...you'll buy everything in sight. The local Harbor Frieght had a sale this week. When I finally left the store I had the beginings of my off the grid emergency back up system.

Here's what I bought:

2 Group 27 Deep Cycle Marine Batteries
1 Battery Box
1 Black and Decker 750 Watt Power Invertor (1500 watt surge)
1 Black and Deck Battery Maintenance Charger (selectable 1 or 2 watt float charger w/auto shutoff)

* Three 15 watt solar panels
* 1 Charge Contoller
* 3, 6, 9, 12 volt DC adapter outlets
* Easy-to-read LED charge indicator
* Includes mounting hardware,
2 5 watt 12V lights,
12V socket and battery clamps

Plus 1 backpack solar panel with various adaptors

Somebody please keep me out of the hardware store. wink
