One of the benefits of gas is that you can still use it to prepare food and boil water in the event of a power failure due to natural disasters and extreme weather. A battery backup is an essential part of an emergency kit in areas where this is a reasonable concern.

    I mean I don't have one but while we do have power outages my area does get priority for getting back online because we don't get gas. I actually would love to get a whole unit battery system but there are many things that need renovation and I certainly am not in economic shape to tackle anything atm.
