Glad all came out well. I love Eneloops. If you were to open any one of my camera flashes or similar items you will find Eneloops. Great batteries and I too would recommend them over any of the big standard brands.

I've been looking at some UPS. I think for me it'd work out better than a generator, at least short term. I'd love to get a rack system where I can put my future media server and multiple UPS for the server, computer, and tanks (especially SW powerheads), and whatever else. Silent too! Computer wise gives me time to safely shutdown where as a generator would require startup and the powercut would of already happened. Generator would be good for fridge and stuff like that though that a few seconds/minutes won't matter. I've really been taking my chances without anything backing me up, it's about time to bite that bullet.

I guess this is where that nice Tesla would come in handy.
