For some time, the D.R. was experiencing rather constant and good quality electrical energy... My wife's family reports that things are coming full circle again. Are some of you residents now planning for what might be a long term problem? My relatives there have a 2.4 K inverter system to power the T.V., stereo, three fans, four lamp fixtures with 23 watt bulbs and and a computer. Would it be a good idea to think ahead, and replace the present fridge with one powered by gas, and to increase the battery pack from four to eight to last for a much longer time than the four batteries supply, or would 8 batteries be overkill? My wife will be there in November, and she'll probably want to initiate some sort of "hardball tactics" to deal with what must be a very frustrating and economically draining situation for the economy. It was bad enough a week ago when I was out of electrical power here in Italy for 9 hours; I sure can sympathize with you guys... Thanks!
