I vote yes. Good points raised by Tom and others, and I welcome us spending time and resources on power infrastructure in the future. I don't believe 1 size fits all needs but some level of standardization is good. -Doug- On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 4:52 PM Tom Hayward <tom@tomh.us> wrote:

I don't think this impacts the need for batteries. The goal of battery backup is to stay online when the normal power system goes out. This can happen with utility power or local generator. The batteries should last longer than the typical time to restore power after an outage. If we think it might take a few days to get a generator mechanic on site, that should be our target for battery runtime.
