What is everyone doing for backup power? I have a generator for when I'm here to hook up, but what is everyone doing if your not home? If I'm at work and the power goes out to get me until I get home. I was looking at the eco flow Delta 2 to run my return pump and heater. Will the Delta 2 automatically switch to battery if power goes out? My tank is only 20 gallons so it looses heat fast.

I use a battery backup outlet strip from Amazon basics, so half of my plugs turn on automatically when power is cut. Lasts me about 2-3 hours for pump and heater being powered. For more, I’ve heard the ecotech marine vortech battery backups are a great option that can last days and give your tank circulation and air if you position it high up

I have an APC battery back up with my return pump and heater plugged into it. I got it from Amazon for less than $100.
How long will it run?
I used an amp calculator online: about 11 hours (but that’s with the heaters running nonstop. That buys me plenty of time to run home (if I’m at work) and fire up my generator. If I’m in vacation or something I’m fooked, but it might be long enough for the power to be repaired.
