Lost power in the house for 3 days. Luckily, I had a 3600 W battery that kept a fridge running. Situation: I spend summers in CO and winters with my kids in OK. During the outage, my kids consolidated my 2 fridges into 1 and would pick up the battery in the AM, let it charge to 90%, then return, repeat the next AM. A bit of hassle for them.

My thoughts: get another 3500 W battery and a small propane generator (1 for each fridge). From what I see, I can get a 4800 w dual fuel inverter generator for around $650. Can run up to 20 hrs on a 25 lb tank. I would run the generator 2x/day to recharge the batteries (batteries deplete in 12 hrs - 90% to 0%, 2 hrs to charge). AC/heat/stove are auxiliary, I can fire them up as needed, recharge batteries, if needed, or run directly from the generator. I have a BBQ and firepit that use propane, I would purchase an additional tank, and rotate as they empty, refill on the go.

So question to you, the experts, does this make sense??

If so, no need to wire directly into the electric box, I'm thinking to just put a male receptor on an outside wall going to a female receptor on the inside wall.

Make sense? I have a whole house generator in CO (same to worse problem), set me back $15K, don't want to repeat in OK.
