Harlan Meeks On Low Watt Living And Backup Power |episode 129

This week I welcome on Harlan Meeks to the podcast. He is the host of the Low Watt Living Podcast.

On his podcast, Harlan Meeks covers a wide variety of topics on backup power, alternative energies, and survival. 

We talk about keeping your lights on during a power outage. From using rechargeable batteries in your headlamp to generators. 

I ask Harlan Meeks about how he keeps his cell phone powered on at all times. He says his phone never dies. This is done with a battery case and USB battery packs. 

We talk about all that and more today.

Rayovac PS73-4BT6 7-Hour Power Back Up

I saw this product one day at the store and thought I would pick it up for review. It, the Rayovac PS73-4BT6 7-Hour Power Back Up, filled a nice I had been looking for. I like the idea of small back up power chargers but not the ones with built in batteries that can’t be changed.  The big reason I liked this one was because It takes standard AA batteries. If I want rechargeable batteries I can just charge them and in a charger and put them in this unit. I feel AA batteries are perfect for backup power. They are relatively cheap and plentiful now to stock up on and in a collapse scenario I feel they would still be able to be found.  With that said lets get down to the review and see how this charger performs.
