Re: fios ont power req Here's what I plan to do...
I have a 1500 watt inverter/charger, designed for use on a boat. I also have two Optima, D31A (Yellow Top) batteries. I am going to hook it all up so that the inverter will automatically switch over some critical systems in the house (gas heater, sump pump, some lights, ONT, one basic computer w/ router and one LCD TV installation w/ SD STB) when there's a power failure.
If I just run the really critical systems (heater, sump pump - very intermittent, a few lights and the ONT = ~150-200 watts), I should get many hours before the batteries discharge.
