what was your “This is why I invested in batteries” moment?

When the power goes out and your system kicks in smoothly, do you ever stop and think, “This is why I invested in it”? What was that moment that made you say that?

Definitely that first big outage like I was halfway through cooking dinner and didn’t even notice the grid went down until my phone pinged the alert. That’s when it hit me... yeap, this was a solid battery investment.

Mine was during a summer outage the power went out, battery kicked in, fridge and Wi-Fi never skipped a beat. That’s when it clicked. Only regret? I should’ve mapped my circuits better. Some stuff stayed off that I thought would run. Anyone else misjudge their setup?

my “moment” was less heroic. Power went out for five minutes and my wife didn’t even notice. That silence like no complaining, no candles that sold me more than any payback calculator ever could.
