I thought of one other thing when it comes to emergency power...if you
live in an area where power outages are common and last for a long
time, a generator would be a better choice. If your power doesn't go
out that often and comes back on within hours, a battery and power
inverter would suffice. 
... Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.
