      We are a small medical practice. It would cost approx $15k in batteries to give us about 3 operating hours. Not economically viable.

      But do you think something like an airport would have enough diesel capacity to contiune operating in a power out?

        If you are taking about human lives it could be important. Many hospitals spends a significant amount to make sure there isn’t any downtime.

        Hospitals and airports typically have their own backup generators, yeah. Not entirely sure how long they’re prepared to operate off-grid.
