Inverters are the best option. You can get Xantrex inverters (a bit pricey), along with some batteries, and you will have an almost uninterrupted power supply.<br><br>Thanks<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Check with Kenital, Chloride etc<br>

<br>
With the current power rationing, what power options are there for someone working from home ( to power a laptop). apart from a generator ?<br>
For instance is there a DC to AC convertor that can be linked to a car battery ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Speaking of which I do suspect that as of today someone somewhere has a container full of generators docking at the Mombasa Port.<br>
<br>
