Hurricane power math: battery banks, car charging without killing the battery, and airplane-mode discipline.

1. Pre-charge everything to 100 percent

Phones, battery banks, laptops (they charge phones repeatedly), even old tablets — full charge the night before landfall. A charged laptop equals 3 to 4 phone charges in reserve.

2. Stretch with Low Power and airplane discipline

Low Power Mode on, brightness minimum, airplane mode with periodic check-ins (15 minutes hourly) instead of constant searching. Searching for dead signal is the fastest battery killer there is.

3. Car-charge without killing the car battery

Run the engine 15 to 20 minutes while charging (never in a closed garage — carbon monoxide kills). A $25 solar trickle panel maintains banks indefinitely in Florida sun.

Guide FAQ

Roughly 4 to 5 phone charges after conversion losses. One per team member covers a multi-day outage with discipline.

Airplane mode beats full-off — faster check-ins and alarms still work. Full power-off only if stretch-targeting beyond 4 to 5 days.
