i was talking with mi novia, about the current weather on the south coast, and she told me that she has been without electricity since at least 24+ hours.
she has a new, small, new, inversore, i forget the size and brand, and 4 new batteries. how long would you expect it to keep the lights running under these conditions:
generally in the day and before gong to bed, 1 or 2 regular light bulbs and a 2 tube fluorescent light and a small TV. occasionally 1 low wattage mini-fluorescent bulb for the kitchen.
most of the time she is in her colmado, only goes to the house for the bathroom and to cook and everything is off at night except perhaps the exterior light over the main entry door.

It depends on the bulbs, if they are those economy bulbs or the regular ones, but, just taking a guess, maybe 2 days.

cool, thanks.
the bulbs that are on from say 8:00am till after 11:00pm are probably about 40w regular bulbs. usually only one on plus the fluorescent fixture.
so far, so good. they've still got some lights.

No fridge on inverter? If just bulbs and small TV, and dependning on the size of inverter (e.g. 1 or 1.5 kW) and 4 batteries, you could run 2 days fine.
The power is being restored, at 9 pm about 48% of the country's circuits have already been restored, many more will be restored overnight, because the blackout was precautionary grid turn-off. Only seriously damaged circuits may take more to power up.
If she was without power since Sunday, the circuit may have some damage (because the blackout - grid turn off - happened at 00:50 and again at 2:00 pm, Monday) but most likely will be restored during Tuesday at the latest.

You can't really expect a Dominicana to go without her tele novelas, can you?
Besides, most TV's nowadays are only 60 or 70 watts.
