couple of comments... if you don't already have a weather radio with SAME (localized warning) capability, one that takes AA cells and AM/FM capability would be a good idea, with both home 120v and portable DC capabilities ... and I've switched all my emergency lights and electronics to Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop AAs...claims of less leakage than alkaline cells, as well as ability to charge via 12vdc as well a 7w Goal Zero photovoltaic panel... when I need to fill an Amazon order to get the free shipping, an extra pack of AA or AAA Eneloops gets purchased... just starting to explore the 18650 LiIon cells for the SolarForce L2 and ordered a lower voltage LED module with low voltage cut off
