The modern world is typified by the access to electricity, it runs everything and without it, everything from businesses and households would fall apart, over recent months most of Australia has faced everything from hellish and unstoppable bushfires which cut off communities, and torrential floodwaters which destroyed roads and left people without basic utilities thanks to the power being cut off.

Mains power is what keeps traffic lights operational, ensures telecommunications are functioning and even is responsible for pumping water through treatment facilities making sure that basic plumbing and the supply of fresh drinking water is maintained.

Electricity is one of those modern conveniences, that we almost forget about when it is working but when the unexpected happens and you are suddenly cut off from it, do you have a backup solution to make sure the lights stay on?

Depending on exactly what you must run. The range of Adventure Kings Generators are powerful enough to supply power for accessories like lighting, running your fridge (to keep your food and drinks fresh and save a fridge full of groceries.

If you have a small business that requires just a little bit more juice, or even a larger building or neighbours you might be responsible for, then an Adventure Kings 3500W Open Generator might be the ticket, whilst not only offering a 3500W output it also offers a comparatively, larger fuel tank up to 11L of unleaded fuel, of even 91 octane fuel unlike many manufacturers who recommend using more expensive fuel types, the versatility of the Adventure Kings range means you can run whatever fuel is available to you, wherever in the country you are, plus as an added bonus, this larger fuel tank capacity has the capability of running nearly all day even when it is approaching the generators maximum capacity. The benefit to this is that when you are barely scraping the surface of the available output, then you have a marked improvement of your fuel economy.

The benefits of being able to flick a switch and pull a cord to have reliable 4 stroke power anywhere you need it are unparalleled, particularly without reliable power supply during a dramatic weather event.

A generator is great for more than just emergency power, but also where you require power away from mains capabilities, for instance in the back paddock for running power tools, or even when you take the family camping to bring all of their modcons away with you.

There are many reasons for getting your hands on portable 240v power but sometimes a 12v system might just be the ticket, with some applications 12v becomes even more versatile than running a petrol engine for 240v supply, if you are running a 12v setup as your emergency backup power source.

One of the main benefits over 240v is that a 12v system will generally use less energy, and when coupled with plenty of 12v power camping accessories, like the range of Kings Fridges or LED Camp Lighting, and because of the longevity of a 12v system, you can get away with less, the addition of a simple 12v solar panel system is ideal for extending the range of your emergency power to almost limitless, being basically cost free to run, and silent to run, as long as the sun is shining your setup will be unstoppable.
