That is similar to my possible 4-6 hour battery.  Not ready to do it in
next year.  Might do it in 2 years.

I use laptops whose batteries protect them from power outages, so I can 
afford a few minutes to reconfigure to battery power. If you need continuous 
power for a desktop a power station may or may not provide it with a UPS 
function. Apparently the Jackery 1000 doesn't, the 2000 does. One indication 
is the AC power cord plugging in directly instead of running a small 
external AC>DC power brick.

Internet weather radar gives a pretty good view of approaching storms and 
fronts. When I hear approaching thunder I pull the UPS wall plug and 
continue working on my spreadsheets or program on isolated battery power 
until the storm has passed.
